He once did kiss the Koran as a sign of respect for another faith during a meeting with some Muslim clerics. That's unfortunate. And, I imagine he regards it as an error. But, to say he "kisses the Koran" is wrong. It's not something he makes a practice of.
The pope is quite Catholic and he kisses the Holy Bible.
