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.”

The Joke is in us the remnant church. God and his justice will always remain. The Remnant church will prevail in the end and we will look back and feel no shame for those that ended up in Hell!!!

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

They really DO take us for fools, don't they?

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

His behaviour is disgustingly rude and vulgar. I can't think that it is also not a sacrilege too as it shows a dreadful contempt for the Petrine Office. It must have been quite disturbing for the Catholics involved despite their brave face.

In fact, the people at the top now realize that this incident was a colossal public relations nightmare, visible to the whole world, and they are trying to cover up for it. 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. 🙄
