That said there are certain ways to approach things and obscenities on social media are... ill advised... regardless of whether you have a public position of employment or not.

Interesting how it works though.
Because I don't disagree at all, but (as was said previously) change Catholic Church/Pope to Islam, who hold similar or even stronger views on the subject in question - and statements like that would cause... well I don't even know what exactly, but certainly a different reaction from media and various political/interest groups.
