Dutch term or phrase: verschillende erediensten in rechte gelijk te stellen.
Belgian Dutch? Book on direct democracy

Context: In de encycliek ‘Immortale Dei’ (1885) stelde paus Leo XIII dat het niet geoorloofd is om "verschillende erediensten in rechte gelijk te stellen".

'make different worships legally equal' seems a bit weak to me.
Any Leo XIII fans, or others care to assist me with this?
