And yet he can insult capitalism any chance he gets. How does that work?

 

Capitalism isn't a faith system, it's true whether you believe in it or not. The Pope merely seeks protection for mass delusion.

Capitalism is a mode of social organization (or lack thereof) as well as a set of beliefs/predictions about what will yield the best results in organizing a society, and in living life at the individual level.

 

My point was that if it's wrong to insult a religion, then surely it should also be wrong for him to do the same with beliefs systems that he disagrees with.

 

You could technically say capitalism is your religion. You could even go as far as to say that capitalism is a religion, and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong, depending on your definition of religion.

There are two lines in the Bad Lip Reading video of The Walking Dead.

 

Carl Grimes: You can't just torch a windmill, dude!

 

Herschel Green:  Yes I can.  Later, tater. 

 

Just replace Carl's line with the pope's admonishment.   :)

Very well, I will not insult the faith of others. I will instead strongly criticize the faith of others with all impartiality and let the faithful react as they may.

With respect.

Your popeliness.

Well when you dress like the pope, I guess you get pretty sensitive to being insulted for religious insanity.

that made me laugh, thanks for that one Wasatchman!

From tonight's chat during the show.

 

So the pope believes that we have a right not to be offended which we should defend violently against nonviolent provocateurs who deserve it.

 

Pope Francis: Enemy of Tolerance

 

I wonder if that platform won him the papacy.

My wife took the pope's statement in the second video as a humorous exaggeration and not casual acceptance of violence.
