Pope Francis: There Are Limits To Freedom of Expression

hcs_$reboot writes Pope Francis spoke about the Paris terror attacks, defending free speech as not only a fundamental human right but a duty to speak one's mind for the sake of the common good. But he added there were limits. While Francis insisted that it was an "aberration" to kill in the name of God and said religion can never be used to justify violence, he said there was a limit to free speech when it concerned offending someone's religious beliefs. By way of example, he referred to a friend: "if someone says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch". "There are so many people who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others," he said. "They are provocateurs."

    Oh, no, young sir. You are too simple. Why, you might have said a great many things. Why waste your opportunity? For example, thus:

    AGGRESSIVE: Fuck the pope's mother with a chainsaw!
    PRACTICAL: Drop your trousers and stick your erect penis in the anus of the pope's mother.
    DESCRIPTIVE: Slowly, gently, stroke the pope's mother's cunt with your dick.
    INQUISITIVE: What's your favorite position while fucking the pope's mother?
    KINDLY: Don't forget to give the pope's mother a reach around when fucking her.
    CAUTIOUS: Careful, wear a condom when fucking the pope's mother - she's got AIDS.
    ELOQUENT: While being fellated by the pope's mother may encourage you to cunnilingus, let her finish first.
    DRAMATIC: The stormy cries of the pope's mother when being fucked rise in fantastic crescendo!
    SIMPLE: Chinga tu madre.
    MILITARY: Attention! The fucking of the pope's mother will commence! One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two! Three! Four!
    ENTERPRISING: So how much do you think they'll pay for a picture of someone fucking the pope's mother?
    RESPECTFUL: At your convenience, dear Francis, please take advantage your mother's sexual services - I hear she's incredible.
    LITERARY: Hell, if you were Cyrano De Begerac, you could fuck the pope's mother with your nose!

    These, my dear sir, are things you might have said, had you some tinge of letters or of wit to color your discourse. /inspired by the frog Edmund Rostand

    And Christianity is an open insult to Islam.

    In order to avoid offending all religious beliefs, all religions must end.

    Sounds like a good idea, actually. :)
