Media fails at reporting what the Holy Father actually says, once again:
Pope Francis says there are limits to freedom of expressionVatican RadioActual transcript:
Clearly the Pope was not in any way, shape, or form, condoning any sort of violence against people for expressing their beliefs; he rather explicitly said "one cannot kill in the name of God". Your title, Maxwell, is also a rather disappointing decontextualisation, deliberate or not: the "punch" was not in reference to the attack but rather a hypothetical response if someone were to insult his mother. What he is saying is, while unambiguously condemning the use of violence, that provocations and insults are generally bound to produce violence responses. Nowhere does he say this the appropriate response. But it is an expected one. This oughtn't to shock or surprise anyone, but the press again shows its inability to properly quote and contextualise what the Pope says...
