The French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo<\/em>,<\/strong> darling of the media since the unfortunate attack on its offices in Paris, continues to offend.<\/p>\n

In Charlie Hebdo<\/em>\u2018s\u00a0latest issue featuring the Prophet Mohammed,<\/strong> which has already sold five million copies, the editors mocked Pope Francis in an editorial. \u00a0According to the Catholic Herald<\/a><\/em>, the editorial in the new edition makes reference to protests by Femen, a radical feminist group that recently staged a topless protest in Notre Dame cathedral. \u00a0The editorial said,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat made us laugh the most is that the bells of Notre Dame rang in our honor. \u00a0We would like to send a message to Pope Francis, who, too, was \u2018Charlie\u2019 this week: we only accept the bells of Notre Dame ringing in our honor when it is Femen who make them tinkle.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 * \u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/p>\n

For his part, Pope Francis has been much kinder<\/strong> in his approach toward the satirists.<\/span><\/p>\n

On his flight today from Sri Lanka to the Philippines,<\/strong> Pope Francis spoke about the Paris terror attacks. \u00a0Speaking with journalists, he defended free speech as a fundamental human right and said that we have a duty to speak our minds for the sake of the common good. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pope Francis, who has called on Muslim leaders in particular to speak out against Islamic extremism,<\/strong> went a step further when asked by a French journalist about whether there were limits when freedom of expression meets freedom of religion. \u00a0He said,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere are so many people who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others. \u00a0They are provocateurs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He said such horrific violence in God\u2019s name couldn\u2019t be justified<\/strong> and was an \u201caberration.\u201d But he said a reaction of some sort was to be expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

And today, the Vatican joined with\u00a0four prominent French imams<\/a><\/strong> to issue a joint declaration that denounced the Paris newspaper massacre, and warned that the world is a dangerous place without freedom of expression. \u00a0However, the declaration cautioned, the media should be respectful of religions.<\/p>\n

Signatories on the declaration<\/strong> include\u00a0French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran<\/strong>, who heads the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue; Djelloul Seddiki<\/strong>, head of the Paris Mosque; Tareq Oubrou<\/strong>, director of the Bordeaux mosque; Azzedine Gaci<\/strong> of the Villeurbanne mosque; and Mohammed Moussaoui<\/strong>, president of the Union of Mosques in\u00a0France.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
