Pope Francis suggested there are limits to freedom of expression, saying in response to the Charlie Hebdo terror attack that "one cannot make fun of faith" and that anyone who throws insults can expect a "punch."
The pontiff said that both freedom of faith and freedom of speech were fundamental human rights and that "every religion has its dignity."
"One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith," he said. "There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity ... in freedom of expression there are limits."
The pope was speaking to reporters on a plane as he flew from Sri Lanka to the Philippines on his tour of Asia.

Jesus help us. The Pope supports beheadings.
Yep, he’s a Jesuit.
He’s a menace.
This pope is a devils deciple, FGS!
“Pope Francis suggested there are limits to freedom of expression”
Seriously, Catholics?
This was the best of the bunch to pick from?
Can the Pope cite a new testament bible verse that validates this ideal? Oh, and by they way how about the bible verse about Climate Change too...
Yeah, that’s the implication. That is very, very sobering.... But I think he is more anti-Islam than he pretends to be. If the Crusades were any indication, anyway.
Someone should tell Frank that, as a Christian, he really should only believe that there is one “faith.” The rest is just being nice to people who are misguided.
This Pope evidently follows the devil, not Jesus
Matthew 5:11-12American Standard Version (ASV)
11 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
Just try and stop me.
While I generally think it's a dumb idea to do so on the basis of differing beliefs alone, there are certain practices, doctrines, and more importantly, religious leaders that practically beg to be mocked.
And mocked they shall be.
>>>Pope Francis on Freedom of Speech: ‘One Cannot Make Fun of Faith’
Just odd!! Yet, killing(murder - “just cause”) is holy justified per the Koran. The Pope is looking through the wrong end of telescope”. Truly, already muslims insult all humanity by their actions only because of their weird sensitivities! Sorry Pope, you’re way off on this one!
Please freepers - stop getting your Pope news from secular sources. NBC hates the Catholic Church.
FUPF
“Jesus help us. The Pope supports beheadings.”
Arguable - but Pope is a Liberation Theology type and as such probably would agree with teh Libtards that burning of ‘deniers’ is acceptable, so long as done for the good of their sould(and their forfeited property, of course).
He was raised and indoctrinated in Argentina-an almost- communist country, he lacks exposure to the real world, and should not be commenting on freedom of anything-or climate change, for that matter. He doesn’t play the game, so he shouldn’t make the rules.
I’m a Catholic, and I’m aware that the church has survived some really, really bad and wrong popes over the centuries-it will survive this one, too...
God bless Pope Francis.
Seriously, Francis, you can cram it.
When he speaks like this, it really makes him look like he is one with the fascists.
this is the third or fourth statement attributed to Pope Francis that sounds absolutely insane (as well as very unChristian) to me.
I sure hope all these statements are mis-quotes. But if so, Pope Francis needs to come out and clear up the record. Its not as if the Vatican lacks media resources to do this....
Socialist Pope continues to say stupid things. News at 11.
And please stop with the “he’s being misinterpreted, misquoted, mistranslated, or otherwise misunderstood”. His words are his words. He is a South American Jesuit leftist and the world is vastly worse off the day this man became the head of the Catholic church.
