Link = BBC News - Paris attacks: Pope Francis says freedom of speech has limits
"You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." ~ Pope Francis
This was the 2nd time in my entire life that I was truly proud of the Catholic Church and in particular proud of the Pope.
So finally there is a real Man in Pope Francis who speaks boldly and honestly, and on top of that he speaks like a true Christian by having compassion and consideration for other people.
The freedom of speech does not mean some right to throw around provocative insults at any one.
And his defense is for the sake of persecuted Muslim people which is taking Pope Francis into the territory of being a true Holy Man.
Before this the high moral ground was only being promoted by the Muslims and the powerful religion of Islam.
My one other time of pride for Catholicism was when the Church defied President Clinton 1993 pushing abortion onto the rest of the world, LINK.
