THE VATICAN IS FURIOUSLY BACKPEDALING AS THEY TRY TO CLARIFY SOME EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS BY POPE FRANCIS
When speaking of the Charlie Hebdo murders at the hands of Islamic terrorists, Pope Francis said “You cannot provoke; you cannot insult the faith of others,” the pontiff added.
Some say his statement seemed to condone last week’s terror attack at a French newspaper, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported Thursday. On a flight to the Philippines, the pope took questions, and raised eyebrows.
A French reporter asked about the attack at Charlie Hebdo, which was carried out by Muslims outraged over the paper’s mocking of the prophet Muhammad.
Francis condemned those who kill in the name of religion, but then said, “If my good friend says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch. It’s normal.”
This statement has outraged people all over the world still mourning the 15 deaths in France at the hands of Islamic terrorists. Francis was obviously saying that the Islamists were justified in doing what they did because their “prophet” was insulted, hence the reference to his own mother being insulted.
The Rev. Thomas Rosica, who collaborates with the Vatican press office, issued a statement early Friday stressing that the pope was by no means justifying the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
“Pope Francis has not advocated violence with his words on the flight,” he said in a statement.
You can hear the whirring of blades of the spin machine in the Vatican from all the way over here in America…
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and ascribe a typo. Scatological references to the Pope are at best tasteless. And they reflect a lack of ability to conduct a serious discussion.
So not only does he pray with Muslims but he is becoming one?
Typical progressive liberal ideology/theology, at a loss to say what he means, or means what he says, although personally I think he knows what he is saying as he can always employ his keepers as often as needed to provide CYA.
Besides he has multiple tens of millions who no matter what have his back.
I guess Catholic Americans have his blessing to blow up TV stations and schools that blaspheme the RCC?
Please learn what “ Papal infallibilty means”...PLEASE.
It’s typical leftist double-speak. “No I’m not excusing violence... I’m just saying they had a good reason to chop off your head!”
His Holiness should have added that, while one should expect retaliation for offensive speech, the true Christian response is forgiveness.
It means the Pope is infallible until he says something stupid that makes you cringe. Either that or Mistranslation.
You can NOT be that ignorant.....are you?
Full damage control? Hardley.
That’s what happens when you pretend that a blog is “news”.
Next they’ll be saying “the Pope misspoke, but even so he accomplished his goal of starting a conversation.”
That would have been the remark of a real Pope, not this current clown in a hat that parades around spouting leftism.
Like Freepers like to tell me the simplest explanation is usually the likely answer. This is just another severely misguided person in a really high place. Lots of 'em lately, it seems.
Yea well his latest remark and those before suck and IMOP are Scatologicly based.
Consider me tasteless been called worse
Yes. It's full damage-control. The Pope made some very un-Christian comments, and his handlers are spinning them. Simple denial on your part does not change the reality.

Excuse me, but I posted this in the blogger section. There is no 'pretending' on my part. This is interpretation of the events, and I believe the interpretation is correct.
It means he is infallible when setting doctrine.
When a Pope displays such poor judgement in his daily life, it is reasonable to question his “infallibility”.
Now you might want to look up “Sede Vacante”
