Add freedom from censorship, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, academic freedom, literary freedom, freedom of  participatory democracy, freedom of public education, and freedom of dissent to the list of things once formally (and relatively recently)  derided and now accepted as core principles of  human rights. One would have to be ignorant of Church history to deny condemnations in those areas--often condemned under the umbrella of "modernity"--existed. And to deny that the Catholic Church (yikes, the MODERN Church) has often courageously led global reforms in those vary areas.
