Pope on Charlie Hebdo II: What about 'turn the other cheek?' [size=6.62801pt]By NICOLE WINFIELD, Associated Press[size=6.62801pt]| [size=6.62801pt]January 16, 2015[size=6.62801pt] | [size=6.62801pt]Updated: January 16, 2015 9:57am
[size=6.62801pt]beloved "Mamma."
[size=6.62801pt]Pope Francis arrives for a Mass for the clergy and religious at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate [size=6.62801pt]Conception during his visit in Manila, Philippines on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015.
[size=6.62801pt]"The pope is not going to hit somebody back," Gahl said. "It's presupposed that a pope, who is [size=6.62801pt]supposed to impersonate Jesus, ought not to use violence."
[size=6.62801pt]Lombardi, an Italian Jesuit, said he understood why Francis used the example of his mother to make his point, an apparent reference to the [size=6.62801pt]tendency of Italian men to remain attached at the hip to their mothers well into adulthood, and forever defensive of their perfection.

[size=6.62801pt]MANILA, Philippines (AP) — What ever happened [size=6.62801pt]to "turning the other cheek?"
[size=6.62801pt]Pope Francis made headlines when he said en [size=6.62801pt]route to the Philippines that there were limits to [size=6.62801pt]free speech, especially when it ridicules or [size=6.62801pt]insults someone's faith. But he raised even more [size=6.62801pt]eyebrows when he explained his point by saying t[size=6.62801pt]hat if a good friend cursed out his mother he [size=6.62801pt]could "expect a punch" in return.
[size=6.62801pt]The Vatican quickly insisted that Francis was by [size=6.62801pt]no means justifying the terrorist attack against [size=6.62801pt]the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, [size=6.62801pt]which had published inflammatory cartoons of [size=6.62801pt]the [size=6.62801pt]Prophet Muhammad[size=6.62801pt]. And Francis, who has [size=6.62801pt]condemned all violence committed in God's [size=6.62801pt]name, stressed that the attacks were an [size=6.62801pt]"aberration."
[size=6.62801pt]But his response did pose the question about [size=6.62801pt]Jesus' famous exhortation to his disciples in the [size=6.62801pt]Sermon on the Mount — and whether for a pope [size=6.62801pt]of Italian origin, turning the other cheek only [size=6.62801pt]goes so far when the matter concerns his
[size=6.62801pt]"Obviously he wasn't justifying violence," the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. [size=6.62801pt]Federico Lombardi[size=6.62801pt], said [size=6.62801pt]Friday. "He spoke about a spontaneous reaction that you can have when you feel profoundly [size=6.62801pt]offended. In this sense, your right to be respected has been put in question."
[size=6.62801pt]The Rev. [size=6.62801pt]Robert Gahl[size=6.62801pt], a moral theologian at Rome's [size=6.62801pt]Pontifical Holy Cross University[size=6.62801pt], noted that [size=6.62801pt]Francis didn't say that HE would have punched his friend for insulting his mother. He said his [size=6.62801pt]friend could expect to be punched, given that he should know that he had crossed a moral line in [size=6.62801pt]lobbing the insult and should be more careful and courteous in not causing offense.
[size=6.62801pt]But does that mean Francis should have turned the other cheek as Jesus taught and let the insult
[size=6.62801pt]Not necessarily. Gahl explained that while Jesus did indeed urge his disciples to turn the other cheek, he did so to teach them a new way of [size=6.62801pt]responding to provocations that until then had been met with a retaliatory "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth." Gahl noted that Jesus fully defended [size=6.62801pt]himself — using reason and the law — when he was attacked by his Roman inquisitors.
[size=6.62801pt]"Certainly the [size=6.62801pt]Catholic Church[size=6.62801pt] has never accepted passivism," Gahl said, noting that Christians are allowed to be police officers and soldiers and are [size=6.62801pt]encouraged to defend themselves, albeit without resorting to violent retaliation.
[size=6.62801pt]"The proper response of the Christian goes beyond turning the other cheek, which is an invitation to hit me again. The Christian response is more [size=6.62801pt]complex," he said.
[size=6.62801pt]Francis has spoken frequently and reverently about the role his mother, and even more his grandmother, played in his life growing up as the [size=6.62801pt]eldest of five children in Buenos Aires. He has said his mother taught him about opera and how to cook, after she became bedridden following the [size=6.62801pt]birth of one of his siblings. His grandmother Rosa taught him to pray and to this day he carries in his worn breviary, or prayer book, a copy of a [size=6.62801pt]creed she composed when he was young.
[size=6.62801pt]"He used the classic example that comes to mind to all of us: to not speak ill about our mothers," Lombardi said laughing. "Apparently it's also like [size=6.62801pt]that in Argentina."
