Now we have the proof:

  PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS
                 ETHICS IN INTERNET

"The ideology of radical libertarianism is both mistaken and harmful
not least, to legitimate free expression in the service of truth. The
error lies in exalting freedom to such an extent that it becomes an
absolute, which would then be the source of values....In this way the
inescapable claims of truth disappear, yielding their place to a
criterion of sincerity, authenticity and being at peace with oneself'.
 There is no room for authentic community, the common good, and
solidarity in this way of thinking."
