The Vatican weighs in on the cartoons of Muhammad:
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Vatican, commenting on a series of satirical newspaper cartoons that have outraged Muslims, said freedom of expression does not include the right to offend religious sentiments.
…The Vatican suggested, however, that where free speech crosses the line and becomes offensive to a religion, national authorities “can and should” intervene.
Pretty strong words for a religion that only a few centuries ago was being oppressed by various national authorities because their very existence was considered offensive.
