Pastoral Pope Francis was “amused” by the reactions to the embarrassing video showing him jerking his hand away from faithful who wanted to kiss his ring, a Vatican spokesman told CatholicHerald.co.uk (March 26).
The spokesman added the bizarre explanation, “Sometimes Francis likes it [ring-kissing], sometimes he does not. It’s really as simple as that.”

How to kiss the ring (or hand) of a recalcitrant pope/dignitary etc.
1) As you approach the 'mark' reach for their hand as if you were about to shake it.
2) With your other hand, quickly and firmly grasp the arm of the extended hand at a point just above the elbow.
3) Pull the extended hand toward your face (while keeping a strong grip of the elbow) and give that hand a big wet kiss.

Bada-Boom, Bada-Bing. Mission accomplished and you’ll go down in history as the person who outsmarted and outvulgarized the pope.

One woman almost fell and looked like she was thrown across the room for trying to kiss his ring?!! What is going on here? Why would a Pope act like this? Is there anything we as lay Catholics can do to investigate what is going on? Too many unusual things happening. I was told he was not kind to the handicapped people as well on this day but cannot find the video.... Holy Spirit please guide us. Amen

The way Francis reacts to this ring kissing is not normal: as if he were psychologically sick. I am sorry to say that.

By his abrupt pulling of his hand away and then pushing the faithful off to the side as if he were in a hurry to get to lunch, we have a perfect video reminder of the entire self-absorbed Francis Papacy.
