Abstract
The article analyzes the expressions of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis on the topic of religious freedom. It summarizes their main emphases and evaluates their attitudes. The pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI strongly supported human rights issues and religious freedom is therefore characteristic of this theme. This Pope focused on humanity and its dignity, emphasizing the transcendental foundation of human rights. Pope Francis places different emphases in this area, especially social and charity, in the context of current international relations and new forms of abuse and protection of religious freedom. The way he addresses contemporary secular society may also be a new impetus for discussion about freedom of conscience and religious freedom in search of a balance between fundamental human rights (e.g. freedom of speech vs. freedom of religion).

Summary
Ta vymezuje předmět náboženské svobody jako základní a vrozené právo každé lidské osoby, založené v její důstojnosti.[2] Náboženská svoboda pak neznamená pouhou pasivní toleranci náboženství, přesahuje svobodu konat obřady a účastnit se A Jana Pavla II., poukazuje na to, že jeho zvolené jméno Benedikt, které přijal v den své volby na Petrův stolec, odkazuje na jeho trvalé úsilí o mír.[13] Nicméně samu otázku náboženské svobody neřeší, poukazuje na lidská práva obecně a právo člověka na mír.
