If Someone Insults My Mother, I Will Punch Them- Pope Francis by Noneroone(m): 2:50pm On Jan 16, 2015
Pope Francis warned that he
was ready to “punch” anyone
who insulted his mother.
The pontiff said this on
Thursday 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 a
dignity, and you cannot mock
it,” he added.
Pope warned that “You cannot
provoke, insult, ridicule other
people’s faith,”. (dpa/NAN)
