So the Vatican says here that one, the government should have censored the cartoon that has started the recent riots, and that the cartoon and the riots are EQUALLY DEPLORABLE. I am speechless... which I guess would be ok with them since they don't seem to mind having authoritarianism silence free speech.
Quote:
"3. However, it must be said immediately that the offenses caused by an individual or an organ of the press cannot be imputed to the public institutions of the corresponding country, whose authorities might and should intervene eventually according to the principles of national legislation. Therefore, violent actions of protest are equally deplorable. Reaction in the face of offense cannot fail the true spirit of all religion. Real or verbal intolerance, no matter where it comes from, as action or reaction, is always a serious threat to peace."
