Unbelievable. What a wispy piece of garbage this pope is turning out to be.
This is outrageous.
I had to click on the link because I thought it was an onion article.
There are at least a dozen New Testament scriptures that directly contradict this.
Where is turning the cheek?
This pope gets worse and worse every week.
Wonder how the libs will react now to their newly-favorite Pope. Sure, don’t insult Islam, but does that mean no more bashing the Catholic Church???
DA Pope’s a poop.
Bring back the early Templar Knights, they knew how to fight for the Holy Land and rid it of Muslim invaders.
The Pope says violence in response to an insult is normal?
Roman Catholics insult my faith in Jesus all the time, because I am a “YOPIOS Evangelical Protestant.”
I’m glad their Pope is telling them to stop their insults.
“You cannot insult the faith of others.”
Hmm, are you sure about that?
“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.” 1 Cor. 10:20
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Matt. 6:7
There’s a difference between reasonably expecting an evil response to a disturbing action, and expecting an evil response is reasonable thereto. As someone who is expected to act & speak in strict accordance with his doctrine & dogma, I’m quite surprised he’s practically condoning violence in response to a petty insult.
Didn’t Christ say something about “turn the other cheek”? How Christian is this guy who claims to lead all Christians?
“If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch” - Pope Francis
“But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” - Matthew 5:39
WRONG!
If your faith is so shaky that some magazine makes you question it, then you should reexamine your faith.
The “Whore of Babylon” “Speaks!
If it’s the faith of a bunch of bloodthirsty savages in their pedophile false prophet, I find it hard to work up any outrage.
There are rather strict limits to what is polite, but any limits on what should be legal are very different.
I can’t believe this from a Pope, what would Jesus do?
We know what he did, he turned his other cheek. Jesus would never advocate that you punch someone.
The Pope should be removed.
“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.”

Hey Pope, what would Jesus do? Not what you said. The Pope’s thinking on free speech and climate change is so screwed up that nothing he says can be taken seriously. Pope Francis serves as a stark reminder that a pope is a mere mortal. Nothing more. And, in his case, a deeply flawed mortal at that.
Is he talking about Islam the Religion(LOL) with NO FREEDOM ?
Wow, bad enough we’ve been saddled with the worst POTUS in American history; now we have the worst Pope who pontificates constantly on the side of the left.
What planet is he from?
Freakin’ islam can’t be insulted but Christians are insulted and abused daily.
Told they can’t have their Bibles, etc.
This guy has sold God out if you ask me.
“Holy” Father needs to STFU.
“Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. FOR WE OURSELVES were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior...”—Titus 3
To whom it may concern. This touched a sensitive spot in me recently, you know...when God shows you His Way and it tenderly blows YOUR way to smithereens? Pride immediately begins rebuilding, lol, but new and (hopefully) lasting “damage” was done to my angry fortress.
Believers are a peculiar people. Our love is Truth, and we can confront the world in the power of the Spirit while knowing that we, too, were as blind as those we lovingly confront. Jesus endured the opposition of sinful men and that is our heritage.
