hmm, don’t recall Jesus bowing to kings and queens

humility and submission are different - especially to muslims

and I wouldn’t call Queen Rania a “follower” of Christ, would you?

No, just lepers, the poor and the sick. What's your point?

You really think anybody in the Middle East believes that the Pope is submitting to the Queen of a tiny, impoverished Middle Eastern country wholly dependent on US aid? C'mon.

Also, not that it matters, but the Jordanian royal family is notoriously secular -- they're Muslims the way Joe Biden is a Catholic. They're far more likely to be attacked (literally) by radical elements in Jordan for being secret Catholics than they are to win any praise for getting the Pope to bow to them.
