ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – Pope Francis said Thursday there are limits to freedom of expression, especially when it insults or ridicules someone's faith.[...]
"If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch," Francis said, throwing a pretend punch his way. "It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others."[...]
"There are so many people who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others," he said. "They are provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to Dr. Gasparri if he says a curse word against my mother. There is a limit."

Limits huh?
So what is the limit for Christians that will allow Christians to murder and bomb those who exceed the limit?
No wonder the mediots were so in love with this guy.
I call bs on this report. No man of Christ is so ill informed as to treat retaliation for a slight justifiable.
The Argentine Socialist speaks...
You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”[...]
DECAPITATION.
...he is the last one...
ain’t he...?

Benedict XVI to Be Second to Last Pope: Irish Prophet Malachy ... **

OOPS ! Second to Last....Well, ABC says...
Whatever happened to turn the other cheek?
Not only will he steal from the dead, but he is willing to punch people.
OK folks, no more jokes & jabs aimed at Scientology, Satanism, or Secular Humanism, “religions” all. Xenu, Beelzebub, and Gaea would not be pleased.
Irritating. It’s like he doesn’t understand the import of what he’s saying.
Wow. Blame the victims and not the Muslims who are raping and murdering their way across Europe. Remember not to criticize the murderers because it might offend them.
The Pope smokes dope.
Actually, the “People of the Book” were on the Muslim hit list long before Charlie Hebedo. Does this pope think he is appeasing Islam with statements like this? This encourages even more widespread belief that any Muslim may kill anyone who “disses” his religion.
LIE, there has been no limits on free expression when Christianity is insulted but then we do not kill those that do not CHOSE to believe or mock us.
Stop being cowards when it comes to free speech and expression. Stop bowing to such an evil religion. Muslims should go back to their disgusting slave ridden societies if they can not handle being mocked like everybody else in free societies.
Another relativist totalitarian heard from.
Or is it just Joe Biden’s brother from another mother?
Also something else that has always bugged me about any religion that denies me communion, just because I’m not their religion. I’m Lutheran, catholic lite, as we like to call ourselves, we believe the this bread and wine represent the body and blood of Christ. But because I’m not catholic (my sister is and is adament about it) I can’t take communion because I don’t believe the way Catholics do. So going on that mentality, they would deny Jesus communion if he was in their church, because he isn’t catholic. ironic
Burn them at the stake perhaps? No, that would not be very friendly to the environment what with all the smoke it would produce.
Howsabout disemboweling? Oh, I know, The Iron Maiden. That's always good for getting a heretic to see the light.
No, wait, I got it. Crucifixion. Yeah, that's the ticket.
"It was a trivial problem that... occurs every year," Bethlehem police Lt-Col Khaled al-Tamimi told Reuters."
A liberation theologist has finally become Pope. Spouts nothing that would embarrass marxism.
But at the same time, a real sign of mature faith is learning to either not react or just to ignore or put on mental ignore.
