I Will Punch Anyone Who Insulted My Mother – Pope Francis Says

Pope Francis warned that he will not hesitate to punch anyone who insulted his mother.

The Pope says people ‘cannot insult the faith of others’ adding that he would punch someone if they insulted his mother, as he debated freedom of speech in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack.

The Pontiff said there were limits to freedom of expression and that ‘provocateurs’ should not purposely anger religious people.

Speaking on board the papal plane on his way to the Philippines, he also insisted that it was an ‘aberration’ to kill in the name of God and that religion can never be used to justify violence.
