Alfred Gauci should get his information right before he quotes Pope Francis (‘Pope’s punch’, February 17).
These are his exact words: “We have an obligation to speak openly, we have that freedom. But without causing offence. It is true we cannot react violently, but if Dr Gasparri – a great friend of mine – were to say something insulting against my mother, a punch awaits him, it is a normal reaction. You cannot make provocations, you cannot insult people’s faith.”
There are limits in freedom of speech and we have to res-pect all. Even if others do not respect us.
That is what God’s teaching consists of.
