Well now the Pope is against free speach. Piss on him too. (Im not against religions - Im for free speach.)
"The Vatican also weighed in Saturday, saying freedom "cannot imply the right to offend" religious faiths, but emphasized "violent actions of protest are deplorable."

The Vatican said a government should not be held responsible for actions of a newspaper. However, authorities "could and must, eventually, intervene according to the principals of the national legislation," the Vatican added."

Ghostiger, I'd say even a modest survey of the history of The Church (ant The Catholic Church in particular) would show that censorship and supression of free speech is very much in the Church's interest, and also within the Papacy's preference as a policy. (Ugh, bad alliteration)

His utterance is of course consistent with the doctrine of Papal infallibility. "I must be right, I am the Pope," so his finger shaking at those who exercise free speech is, in his eyes, morally unassailable.

Seen in that light, I am not surprised at the Pope's reaction.
