The Country of Mongolia Leads with Religious Freedom and Tolerance | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As the International Religious Freedom Summit kicks off this week in Washington DC, Mongolia has long boasted tolerance and respect for people of every creed. Former Prime Minister and President of Mongolia, Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, joins to discuss everything from human rights and the death penalty to his meeting with a beloved Pope. He talks about the wide array of faith in Mongolia and also why religious freedom is so important to him. Elbegdorj shares more about his meeting with Pope Benedict XVI a few years ago. He elaborates on what he thinks may be the late Pope Benedict's lasting legacy. The former prime minister and president also fills us in on his meeting with Pope Francis. Elbegdorj tells us about why it is so important for him to work on abolishing the death penalty and campaigning for life.
