Though the pope left it ambiguous, I wouldn't interpret his comments as saying we should put constraints on free speech or outlaw hate speech, or criticism of religion, etc. I think he was just trying to say we should be nice to people and not insult them or mock them. This isn't any kind of break from the sorts of things he's spent pretty much his whole papacy on. If Charlie Hebdo never published a single thing against Christianity and only mocked Muslims, if Pope Francis were still asked the question, I bet he'd say pretty much the same thing.
