Pope Francis has said that men who commit violence against women engage in something that is \u201calmost satanic\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He made the comment \u2013 some of the strongest language he has used to condemn such violence \u2013 during a programme broadcast on Sunday night on Italy\u2019s TG5 network in which he conversed with three women and a man, all with difficult backgrounds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of women who are beaten and abused in their homes, even by their husbands, is very, very high,\u201d he said in answer to a question by a woman named Giovanna, a victim of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem is that, for me, it is almost satanic because it is taking advantage of a person who cannot defend herself, who can only [try to] block the blows,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is humiliating. Very humiliating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
