We all lose our temper, including Pope Francis as we saw recently. However, as you shall see, he finally gets his revenge. Ha! Ha!

She had the temerity to grab it. She had been praying at that rail as he approached.
But, from Luke, Chapter 8: [43] And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. [44] She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
[45] "Who touched me?" Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you."
[46] But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me."
[47] Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. [48] Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."
The pontif could have handled things far better, imho. His reaction betrays him.

Yes. ^^^^^^^^^This here. I feel sorry for the poor woman, she probably felt like she'd just been damned to Hell.

A harsh moment, indeed, no matter how she tries to rationalize it, and at the least incredibly tone deaf on his part.
But I get the idea he doesn't like people, or is living in fear. The latter belies a lack of Faith, despite the hostile world we live in.

I thought the woman was way out of line. Her grabbing him I understand, but she yanked his hand rather violently, and I also understand his reaction. Her actions were mob oriented, and unacceptable. I did not think he need apologize. SHe was out of line.
Anyone grab me like she did and I would be inclined to do the same as he did.

Watch her in the video before he turns away from her. WHo knows how long she waited, ferverent in her desire to be touched, for whatever reason, even praying for that judging by her behaviour. Not saying she wasn't out of line, she was. I'm saying someone as popular among the faithful as the Pope should likely expect such to some degree. His reaction was immediate, no hesitation, to beat her hands away.
It would have been eminently better to take a second and softly chastise her for rude behaviour, without the violent behaviour on his part. Not just in terms of optics, but in terms of sending a 'message of peace and understanding'.
Instead, he comes off as someone who wants to make nice with Islam, but beats the hands of one of the faithful for wanting to touch him. Seriously bad optics, there.

He glared at her. Considering the fervor of the faithful, I'm surprised the stink-eye didn't give her a heart attack on the spot. Some comfort. I hope he personally apologized to her, one-on-one. I, personally, don't want his apology. I think he's terrible because of his political comments, but this is something on another level.

That's just it. I saw a flash of something far from the reaction by the one he is supposed to represent.
