Cardinal sees Danish legislation as threat to religious freedom (CNA)

The president of the Commission of Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) has warned that proposed legislation in Denmark would be an “undue hindrance on the fundamental right to freedom of religion.” Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich made the comment on a bill that would require all homilies to be translated into Danish. Catholics make up just a bit more than 1% of the population of Denmark, with nearly a third born in other countries.
