CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, Sept. 21, 2007 (Combined News Services) -- Religious freedom, including "the right to change religion," is a fundamental right rooted in every person's dignity, Pope Benedict XVI said in Italy Friday.

BOULDER, Colo., July 11, 2007 (UPI) -- A small U.S.-based spiritual movement Wednesday panned Pope Benedict XVI's proclamation of Roman Catholicism as the only true path to salvation.

"There are many paths to God, and God denies no one who takes a path with humility and sincerity," said Steve Farrell, worldwide coordinating director for the Humanity's Team organization in Boulder, Colorado.

"No one's way is better than any other's. It is merely another way," he said.
