The boss has spoken!!
About the pope... well, he's playing his role.
As much as he must abhor terrorism, he cannot condone mockery of his own institution.
Also, he's speaking to his own. To the catholics... the guys he's aware are mostly harmless and will be very unlikely to turn to some form of terrorism is someone mocks their religion.
It is understandable.
To us, the unbelievers... the people who think that all religions are but shows to control the masses, this comes off as poorly thought out. The comparison to mocking someone's mother is a poor one. But they believe it to have some sense, as they would defend their mother's honor, so they should defend their "father"'s.
But, to us, he's equating defending a real person with defending a make belief comic book character...
Can you imagine if I had do defend Superman's honesty, as some asupermanist (Marvelists, I'm looking at you) would be attempting to smear superman's reputation in tar, by claiming him to be an evil cunt?!
