Pope Francis says domestic violence against women 'almost satanic'

Head of Catholic Church makes some of his strongest comments yet on violence against women Pope Francis has said that men who commit violence against women engage in something that is "almost satanic". He made the comment - some of the strongest language he has used to condemn such violence - during a programme broadcast on Sunday night on Italy's TG5 network in which he conversed with three women and a man, all with difficult backgrounds.
