Yeah, but he isn’t a normal person. He is supposed to be the Vicar of Christ. His face was evil looking as he walked off.

Anybody around here who hangs out at the Religion Forum knows I am majorly dismayed at Pope Francis about 80% of the time, with gusts of up to 100.

However this time I gotta disagree with his critics. His face may have looked *evil" but that little woman about jerked his off his feet. Look, he's 83. I think his initial look was pain (probably an arthritic pain in his hand or wrist I'm thinking) followed by anger and some impulsive verbal production like, "Ow, let me go, dammit."

Not sweet and full-of-grace, but any of us could have done the same, especially if she twisted a painful joint.

I wish he could get his Security people to find her and invite her to come back to Domus Sanctae Martae, where he lives, and get a chance to tell him what she needed to tell him. I have a hunch it might have been very important--- maybe what's going on with Catholics in China, which is a real horrorstory which he NEEDS to hear about first hand.

Evil looking or ticked off that he, an old man (83 years old) got his arm jerked off?

he's human remember - he got ticked off.
