Pope Fumbled, There is nothing Godly about this pope.

The woman actually misbehaved if you watch the video. I blame the woman and the securities behind the pope

KingGBsky:
Pope Francis apologised Wednesday for his widely-viewed slap of a woman who had grabbed his hand as he greeted Catholic faithful on New Year’s Eve.

The image of Francis slapping his way free from the clutches of the admirer was an instant hit on social media.

A personal apology followed.

“We lose patience many times,” Francis confessed.

“It happens to me too. I apologise for the bad example given yesterday,” the head of the Catholic church said before celebrating Mass at the Vatican.


Twitter enthusiasts commented with abandon on the pontiff’s prompt riposte to the woman.

Francis had greeted children before the Nativity scene on Saint Peter’s square and was turning away when the woman who had crossed herself then cried out something, pulled on his hand and almost caused him to fall.

The 83-year-old pope grimaced before managing to break free by slapping her hand twice.

He continued his tour, walking with some difficulty while maintaining a slightly greater distance from visitors, and gradually relaxed again as he came into contact with other children.

I don't see any fault in what he did. That lady almost fell him...how can you drag an 83 year old man that way?

There are two issues here.

1. Security. Those men that were supposed to protect the Pope should have been fired. No reasonable person pulls an 83 year old man like that. The Pope lost his balance and could have landed on the floor. No one with security following him should have been so exposed. Not even African head of state or American. That lady would be cooling her heels in detention.

I thought the same thing but when you watch the video, you can see that the security man gently tried to pry the womans hands off before the Pope lost his temper and slapped it away.

You cant expect security to jump absolutely every single time somebody touches the Pope; Im sure they have other security measures that are more subtle than just those guys

If it was Donald Trump that did this the pope would have called for his resignation ...I think this is the worst pope in recent history , very partisan and dark

Your retarded nature is masked in a sense. Bleeping reasoning evident like a Yoruba movie (silly) subtitles.

The problem with most NLs when they see a controversial headline:

They jump straight to comment without watching videos linked to it( impatience,ignorance or majorly lack of data)


Because all this much ado over nothing wouldn't be ....all he did was take off her hand after obviously "manhandling" him...but of course internet has given anyone an opportunity to spew trash against anyone they don't like

I think you should only focus on the dry ones you usually smoke; this wet one is paining your sense.

quote author=APOPTOSIS post=85415821]Meanwhile BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO Slapped a Church Member right before the congregants and his BLIND FOLLOWERS including SANS who worship in his tabernacle defended him outrightly with every alacrity..

I'm not surprised at the POPE'S PLEA for forgiveness after all, it's a feature of the WHITES...[/quote]

Learn, study and research Roman history, and compare and contrast with the fakery being peddled by the Abrahamic religious text.

To Europeans, the position of Pope signifies hope, unity and power.

To the African the position of Pope signifies, theft, looting, murder, plunder and all the other agents of chaos.

The Pope is one of the least foreign religious position an African should ever want to honour or respect.

The history of the involvement of the Pope in African affairs is atrocious.

Where were the Pope when Eurocentric warmongers were running riot on the continent?

Ah! I remember, he was busy being a proactive agent of the horific Transatlantic campaign himself.

Re: Pope Francis Apologises For Slapping Devotee by justli: 11:50pm On Jan 01, 2020
this is the most evil-minded pope in the history of the church. by the time this pope serves out his tenure, the church would be a shadow of itself.

from saying that jesus failed on the cross,
bringing in idolatry openly into the vatican by blessing pacha mama
supporting gays openly and promoting gay priest and bishops
recently calling for a universal education system from leaders of the world to introduce a more accommodating teaching

and even worse, asking christians not to evangelize to unbelievers.

I think the vatican is rotten. Evil men have hijacked it completely and this is no conspiracy.

You're the one who is a shadow of yourself because you're living in a fool's paradise. You and the Pope, WHO RESEMBLES CHRIST? You are talking about a man whose forefathers formed Christianity for your enslaved and colonized Forefathers. They know the Age of Reason and the Age of Info Tech has exposed all the secret dirty deals of their religions, so they are accepting the lies told and trying to correct the evil works of their expired religions which they imposed on captured African slaves and colonized Africans, and you're here wasting words on someone whose forefathers created Christianity. Does jesus look like you? A religious slave indeed!

The title of "slapping" is misleading. It's more like a add taping of relating to rebuke. more or less. I just saw the vidoe.,The woman was almost dragging him in her direction which is direspectfull in itself. You don't drag a leader like that.

Aside many of you don't know leaders are not as gentle as we think. Its the image we want to see outside they portray. Underneath they are add and firm.if they have to hit you to direct they will. That is a coveted position, you don't get there by Being all nice and cuddly.

If you think the Pope was too harsh, let her try American President next time.

This man was staggered by a hard pull.

Best still, she should sue the Pope for Abuse.
Re: Pope Francis Apologises For Slapping Devotee by Octaves(m): 12:12am On Jan 02, 2020
I'm with the pope 100%. The apology was not even necessary as the woman was very inappropriate. All those saying rubish about the pope over this are nothing but fools.

The Pope's apology is an example of humility needs to be emulated
