censorship in BBC and Freedom to dissent

If there is any principle of the constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate.
- Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, dissenting in United States v. Schwimmer (1929)

Nowadays Pope Benedict VXI is in America. He visited the White House and made some unforgettable speeches about the humanity, love and some other issues during his meetings with citizens and scholars of American society. Also he talks about the sex scandal in Catholic Church and sex abuse of the child.
One of the important events for me was the censorship in the BBC site; yesterday like other days I read news in BBC and there was a picture tour about the pope journey to the U.S, between those photos there was a photo with this subscript: “But the scandals involving priests has meant the Pope has not been welcomed by everyone”. After a while when I was checking that page I understood that the photo is censored.










It was so amazing seeing these two events:
- Even the highest spiritual leader of one of the oldest and the most popular religions of the world can be criticized in a free society.
- And the second: even in one of the most professional and loyal news agencies in a free world censorship can be seen.
