If Someone Insults My Mother, I Will Punch Them — Pope Francis

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,”.

I am sure that the Son of man Christ the Lord Jesus Christ HIMSELF deny His mother, brothers and sisters before a MULTITUDE without using VIOLENCE. Religion cannot be taken from VIOLENCE because it belongs unto the CROWD and the CROWD belongs unto Satan. Hugs

Pope, this is a bad word from you, must you resort to violence at insults?? does it depicts the true calling and membership of the household of God, Did Christ use violence admidst all the insult that has hauled on him?? Be a true disciple
