Catholics On Freedom Of Expression

Freedom of expression is a right, but there are limits when it comes to insulting faiths, Pope Francis told reporters today, referring to events surrounding the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.

"One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith," Francis said. Likewise, he said, people have religious liberty, but "One can't kill in the name of God." He said this after a reporter asked him about religious liberty and freedom of expression. The pope made the comments on a trip to the Philippines. Ref. CNN
