    It is essentially a declaration of religious
    freedom, a freedom which must also be
    permitted by states.

    butcompulsion or force must play no part
    in a persons response to God.

    foundations of the relations of the Church
    to the world, and was particularly helpful in
    relationships with other faith communities:
    it was a key part of establishing the
    churchs credibility in ecumenical actions
