“Pope Francis suggested there are limits to freedom of expression”

Seriously, Catholics?

This was the best of the bunch to pick from?

that anyone who throws insults can expect a "punch"

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.

"One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith," he said.

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.

“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...

....so who died and made this guy Pope?

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.
