"You Can not Make Fun of faith," says François
Rome Francis said there are limits to freedom of expression, especially when he or insult ridicule someone of faith. Francis spoke of the terrorist attacks in Paris en route to the Philippines, the defense of freedom of expression, not only as a fundamental human right but a duty to speak his mind for the sake of the common good. But he said there were limits. For example, he refers to Alberto Gasparri, which organizes the pope travels and stood with him aboard the papal plane. "If my good friend Dr Gasparri said a curse word against my mother, he can wait a fist," said Francis, casting a pretend punch his way. "This is normal. You can not produce. You can not insult the faith of others. You can not mock the faith of others." Many people around the world have defended the right of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published inflammatory cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) following the massacre by extremists, at its offices in Paris and later attack against a kosher supermarket in which three gunmen killed 17 people. But recently, the Vatican and four prominent French imams have issued a joint statement which denounced the attacks, but also urged the media to treat religion with respect. Francis, who urged Muslim leaders in particular to speak out against Islamic extremism, went further when asked by a French journalist whether there were limits when freedom of expression meets freedom of religion.
Francis said it was an "aberration" killing in the name of God and said religion can never be used to justify violence. But he said there was a limit to freedom of expression when it is afraid to offend the religious beliefs of anyone. "There are so many people who speak ill of religions or other religions, who make fun of them, make a play on the religions of others," he said. "They are provocative. And what happens to them is what would happen if Dr. Gasparri said a curse word against my mother.. There is a limit" Francis said he was concerned especially for the faithful, and said he had talked to the Vatican security agents taking "prudent measures and secure" "I'm worried, but you know I am a default :. A good dose of recklessness. I neglect these things, "he said. But he acknowledged that in his prayers, he asked that if anything were to happen to him that" it does not hurt, because I'm not very brave . when it comes to the pain I'm very shy "he added:" I am in God's hands "
