The Pope has come to the defense of mother-in-laws.

During his weekly address Pope Francis said mothers-in-law are like 'mythical characters' who are often viewed in a pejorative way and are the victims of 'cliches'.

The Pontiff urged Catholics to honour and take care of family bonds, telling them to take care of their relationships with the mother's of their spouse.

However he did also urge the worlds mothers-in-law to 'be careful' in how they express themselves.
