There must be limits to free speech: Pope

Pope Francis

Speaking with reference to the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebo, Pope Francis said that there are limits to freedom of expression, especially when it insults or ridicules someone’s faith.

In the wake of the massacre by Islamic extremists at Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, many people around the world came forward to defend the right to publish inflammatory cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

However, the Vatican and four prominent French imams issued a joint declaration that denounced the attacks, but also urged the media to treat religions with respect.

What did Pope say?

  1. It is an “aberration” to kill in the name of God
  2. Religion can never be used to justify violence.
  3. There is a limit to free speech when it concerned offending someone’s religious beliefs.
