Whose Religious Freedom

Religious leaders are speaking out on the need for religious groups to be free to live out their faint stance. The religious leaders do not want the government to dictate any mandates that counter what the religious leaders say they teach. I noticed that a professor at Boston College is being let go because he asked for an explanation on why women cannot be ordained priests. it seems like religious freedom for the professor to ask a question is being limited by the authorities who do not want limits place upon themselves. Of course, the professor is free to ask the question, but he will be fired for it. It is a bit like the king saying that his subjects are free to do as they like, but if the king does not like what they do he will be rid of them. In this case only the king is free.
