David Cameron disagrees with Pope Francis on responding with violence [View all]

Robert Booth

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.
