Peace impossible without freedom of religion, thought: Pope

Pope Francis called on Easter Sunday for freedom of religion and respect for the views of others, saying without them peace was not possible.

"There can be no peace without freedom of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of expression and respect for the views of others," read the 88-year-old pope's address, delivered from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica by a collaborator at the side of the wheelchair-bound Francis.
