David Cameron has contradicted the pope over whether it is right to react with violence against insults to religious beliefs.

The prime minister told a US news programme that it was wrong to “wreak vengeance” if someone insulted your faith.

Speaking to journalists on a plane last week, Pope Francis had said insulting others’ faith was a step too far.

1. I don't think that Francis thinks it's OK to react to insults with violence

but rather that it is understandable when someone does. I don't suppose anyone has ever spoken to you that caused you to come close to losing control? The thing is that we maintain control even when we a pushed beyond our limits.

2. No I doubt he thinks it is ok to be violent.
