Follow your beliefs

Re the letter of Jan. 12, Enlightened followers: I agree with your freedom to follow your faith and its doctrine. Using threats to force others to follow those beliefs, however, is the enemy of religious freedom and the same method, with a lesser threat level, used by ISIS.

This is America, where censorship is not allowed. That means Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski is free to state his ideas, and those who disagree are free to state theirs. I pray we all remain free to follow our own beliefs without threats.
