Part I

"Blessed Pius IX and Vatican II are in accord regarding religious freedom it is just that you either can't or won't see that."

The two teachings CONTRADICT each other.In his 1864 encyclical, Quanta Cura, Pius IX condemned "that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our Predecessor, Gregory XVI, an 'insanity,' viz., that 'liberty of conscience and worship is each man's personal right, which ought to be legally proclaimed and asserted in every rightly constituted society; and that a right resides in the citizens to an absolute liberty, which should be restrained by no authority whether ecclesiastical or civil, whereby they may be able openly and publicly to manifest and declare any of their ideas whatever, either by word of mouth, by the press, or in any other way.'

Pius was citing Gregory XVI's 1832 encyclical Mirari Vos.
