He was in the right. He grimaced. I think it hurt. He had to apologize because he is probably not supposed to show anger. He also did not let people kiss his hand but he says he had a cold. Might be time to step down. ---

I agree that he was in the right. She forcefully yanked him. It was a human reaction. ---

When I say might be time to step down, I mean he is 83 and finally starting to find people annoying. He deserves to have peace. ---

> [@NicksCafe](#): > > He also did not let people kiss his hand Good movie “The Two Popes”. He was a very modest South American bishop. Dressed plainly, took public transportation, lived a modest and humble life. I don’t think he likes all the Pope worship stuff. ---

His predecessor however was a different story. I hope you get a chance to see that movie. Anthony Hopkins plays Benedict. ---

He was totally in the right. Don’t grab people. That’s just rude. In any situation where a famous person walks up to the crowd to shake a few hands, it’s obvious and understood that 90% of the outstretched hands are not going to get shaken. You just accept it. This ungracious woman didn’t and she got off lightly. Edited to add: Re kissing the ring, first it’s a pompous tradition and second, you’re going to live your life having endless colds and other viruses if you let thousands of people do that. ---

Lucky she didn’t try that to the Pope of Greenwich Village. ---

If I were the Pope (Will the first) I would have the ring grafted onto my ass. That would break up that tradition. In addition, I’m surprised his security team wasn’t on top of it right away. ---

> [@MyBigMoon](#): > > In addition, I’m surprised his security team wasn’t on top of it right away. They were pretty quick. It’s a balancing act between letting him look like he is engaging people freely and keeping the crazies away. This woman was no threat but she could easily have been holding a weapon. ---

Yeah she could have slit his wrist, maybe he shoud carry a tube of super glue. Will probably knows the stuff from the Vietnam War where it was introduced. ---

Sorry Mark, I played a different role in that war. Super glue would only be required for our lips if we got out of line. However I believe you are correct about it’s use there. ---

The spray band aid in skin color is a toned down version I believe. ---

A Global Educational Pact. Sounds like a good idea. ---

Somehow I knew you would approve and I’m thankful you enjoyed my post. Will you be getting a little (biblically contradictory) wet cross over your forehead as Catholic seal of salvation? ---

You’re walking down main street of Vancouver wearing a wet niqāb. You look lovely. [Next page](https://bbad.com/t/the-pope/857.md?page=2)
