This video clip makes me smile, cry and laugh. The joy on the faces of the eastern Catholic patriarchs/metropolitans is radiant.

I do not want to speak ill of the dead but contrast this with how our previous Holy Father treated people trying to kiss his ring.



The disgust and lack of joy or appreciation for the people who have been looking forward to kissing the ring of the vicar of Christ really soured me on the Francis pontificate from early on

He was consistent. RIP

Maybe it was more reasonable than we thought:

"The Holy Father told me that the motivation was very simple: hygiene," Gisotti said after speaking directly with Pope Francis about the matter. "He wants to avoid the risk of contagion for the people, not for him."

Footage of the surprising incident went viral this week, igniting heated debate about what it meant.

When he physically slapped a woman's hand away in anger, I soured on him immediately.
