Pope Francis has warned that he was ready to punch anyone who insulted his mother.

The pontiff said this yesterday in remarks made en route to the Philippines from Sri Lanka, that “there are limits to freedom of expression and my mother was the limit.

“We have a duty to speak openly, to have this freedom, but without offending others.

“It’s true that you cannot react with violence, but if my aide Doctor Gasbarri, who is a friend, badmouths my mother, a punch would be coming for him,” he added.

The Pope said in relation to recent events in Paris that violence in the name of religion can never be justified, but that there are limits to freedom of expression.

“Many people badmouth religion, mock it, play with other people’s religion.

“It can happen, but there are limits. Every religion has dignity, every religion that respects life and human beings has dignity, and you cannot mock it,” he added.

The Pope warned, “You cannot provoke, insult, ridicule other people’s faith”.

That is to say, if I insult you, you'll probably break my head..
And if I slap you, you'll probably kill me..

Matt5:39..But I say unto you, that ye resist not eveil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also..

The jesus I know preached peace...but his followers, I don't understand them..

Though the Angels have been sleeping with daughters of men but Joseph been suffering from poverty lacks absolute control over his wife and as such his wife, Mary the mother of Jesus committed an adultery with Angel Gabriel.

The Pope knows this but refused to tell it to his church members. Hope I will not receive a blow from the pope tonight?

Pope Francis is using the wifebeater's defence (she provoked me!) to support mass murdering islamist fanatics. Personally, I'm not surprised since he and the islamists are selling different flavours of the same poisonous drink. They know what they are preaching is bullshit which is why they dont want it criticized. When the Catholic church still had political power, they were murdering people everyday just like the muslims are now. They havent changed at all, theyre just better at hiding it nowadays. But once in a while, the mask slips and you can see the rotten face beneath.

Dont worry, humanity will eventually eradicate christianity along with islam and all the other violent religions. Its just a matter of time.

I just love this Pontiff!
Ride on vicar of Christ, we need your type in this evil world of ours.
Christ Jesus will never leave his church, no matter what the evil one is doing against her.

Matthew 16 vs. 18 and 19 says it all!

i think muslim draw more enemies to themselves by attacking perceived critics, or mockers of their faith.
Yesterday in my school, the Muslim Student's Society organised a seminar on campus. The theme of the programme was centered around Biblical and Quranic support for science and western education but the guest speaker was bad mouthing Christianity and terming Jesus 'a bastard' and he not being the son of God, and how the Book of Matthew is fiction. Some students approached him and kindly asked him to focus on the theme of the gathering but he refused. Students didnt allow the programme continue.
Although i am not in support of the student's action, but i could'nt stop wondering what would have happened if the whole ish was the other way round.
People have freedom of speech, if you feel insulted, you either sue them, insult back or keep quiet...you dont kill..especially when your religion is that of 'peace.'

Pharisees like u will always call him out!
He spoke in parable.
He is only saying that respect is reciprocal.
Dont read too much meaning into his direct sentence, rather seek wisdom in it.

Nice one pope, Jeisu Charlie are mocking muslims & their prophet & whenever muslims react, they are called terrorist why don't you ppl leave muslims & their religion alone? For saying this, guess the pope won't be welcome with open hands whenever he visits France, height of hypocrisy of some Ppl mstcheeeeew.

Read btw the lines people. & read the write-up as a whole. Don't quote sections that favour your argument. He is promoting religious tolerance by discouraging incitement.
