Secretary Kerry on the Release of the International Religious Freedom Report
Freedom of religion is not an American invention. It’s a universal value. And it’s enshrined in our Constitution and ingrained in every human heart. The freedom to profess and practice one’s faith, to believe or not to believe, or to change one’s beliefs, that is a birthright of every human being.

Foremost among the rights Americans hold sacred is the freedom to worship as we choose … we also remember that religious liberty is not just an American right; it is a universal human right to be protected here at home and across the globe. This freedom is an essential part of human dignity, and without it our world cannot know lasting peace. - President Barack Obama.

Statement by Ambassador Locke on the Passing of Bishop Jin of Shanghai
I want to express my condolences to the family and friends of Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian, the Shanghai Diocese, and the people of China on the Bishop's passing. Bishop Jin was deeply dedicated to his congregation and tirelessly led the Shanghai Diocese for almost 30 years, until the age of 96. During his years of service, he worked diligently to promote understanding between Chinese Catholics of all persuasions and provided a beacon of hope for reconciliation between China and the Holy See. We hope that his legacy of devotion to both his faith and his countrymen will long provide a model for others to follow.
