    Turns out te head of the Catholic Church is a homophobic bigot.

    "Pope Francis met privately in Washington last week with Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a Vatican spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.

    Ms. Davis, the clerk in Rowan County, has been at the center of a nationwide controversy over whether government employees and private businesses have a legal right to refuse to serve same-sex couples. She spent five days in jail for disobeying a federal court order to issue the licenses.

    “I put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it, and I hugged him and he hugged me,” Ms. Davis said. “And he said, ‘Thank you for your courage.’ ”

      Editing … He is a "good pope", and if you don't realize that, you must not understand how ass-backwards the catholic church is. Pope Francis has said that you dont automatically go to hell if you have an abortion. He has ok'd birth control and homosexuals. Of course he is not saying that gay marriage is okay, that'd be "too far" for the conservative member that runs the catholic church. But still, he is almost as good a pope as one could hope for. He is making life better for hundreds of millions of people.

      Editing … If you punch disabled people in the face for an extended period of time whenever you see one of them cripples, but then you're like "maybe I should spit on them instead. Punching them does seem a bit too harsh", I'm not going to give you a fucking award for your actions. Bad analogy is bad, but you get the idea.

      Editing … Is he talking about that Paris Charlie thing? I agree. If you mock the religions and beliefs of billions then eventually somebody will get angry. Free speech should come with responsibility. Nobody likes an internet troll do they? Why should anybody put up with it. Of course, they didn't deserve to die but hopefully other people will see this stop mocking others now. Maybe the world can be a better place when people stop to think.

France has had internal issues with Islam "I think." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering The magazine is just one way to tell people to f off, but you don't have to buy it. Imagine if you had a personal monopoly on what people could and could not say about Hull in magazines you did not even buy.

If you want to live in a democratic country you have to do what the majority wantvin the interests of society. That's the good kind of free speech. Needlessly hating though is not helping anybody.

      Editing … It doesn't help no, but neither does shooting people. I've never liked hate or taunting towards religion, but the idea that a magazine cannot criticize something just because a group considers it sanctified really worries me. There's a difference between posting something nasty on someone's Facebook page and publishing a magazine that they don't even have to buy. Literally no Muslim had to buy that magazine yet it justifies violence?

      Editing … It doesn't justify violence. But after 40 years of hating on the beliefs of billions it's no surprise to me that somebody decided enough was enough. Using a picture of Muhammad carrying a bomb in his turban is an insult to all Muslims, not just terrorists. All it does is create ammunition for people, there's no wonder all those people ran off to join ISIS. We should use this and learn to be more tolerant, not just an excuse to go kill more bad guys.
