How often do you think a Pope meets an Islamic Queen? There aren’t that many monarchies left anyway, and most of the Islamic Monarchies would not allow their Queen to meet a man unaccompanied.
This is about protocol - the media saying there is a breach of protocol. I have seen an image of Pope John Paul II bowing to Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. I’ve seen images of a Pope bowing to President Eisenhower - and Eisenhower bowing to him. I’ve seen photos of President George W. Bush bowing to a Pope. There’s nothing in protocol that says one Head of State may not bow to another - including Popes. I’ve also seen cases where Popes haven’t bowed - they’re not required to either.
Maybe you think the Pope should be rude to the Queen of Jordan. I think that would be silly. I would not want him to breach protocol by doing something excessive, but this isn’t excessive, nor unusual.
Your speculations and ideas of possibilities might entertain yourself, but they don’t interest me.
I have heard your personal opinion, but repeating it doesn’t make it any more than the speculation that it is.
