Abstract
Religious freedom is one of the topics on which Pope Paul VI spoke most often during the Second Vatican Council. His great concern was to preserve the unity of the Church by seeking maximum consensus between the Council Fathers. However, the texts of the Council might seem to have been going against the grain of papal teaching over the previous two hundred years. After presenting Giovanni Battista Montini’s thinking on religious freedom, this article documents his contribution to the declaration Dignitatis Humanae, and then moves on to explore its reception in the papal teachings of the post-conciliar period.
