A continuing potential for conflict, or at least ill-will and suspicion, is that the Catholic Church insisted that as the true Church it must never be persecuted by non-Catholic secular authorities, but that Catholic rulers had the right and even the duty to persecute non-Catholics.Only with the Second Vatican Council in 1965 did the Catholic Church acknowledge that non-Catholics had the right to freedom from persecution. This was met with some resistance from some Catholics, but the Church is now moving towards friendly relationships with Protestants and even atheists. Pope Francis recently asked all Christians to pray for peace and for the non-religious to desire peace - a remarkable concession to those outside the Catholic faith.
