If kisses meant "adoration," we'd have to keep away from our spouses and kids.
Kiss your neighbors spouse.
See if YOUR spouse finds that ADORATION!
Of course kisses toward our children are "adoring"... we should adore the children God gives us.........they are real flesh and bone not some icon or idol dressed up to look like something it's not....
These photo's show the Pope being affectionate with a doll in a ritualistic service...and this in full view of the audiance...with other priests attending. So this is hardly a pope just kissing a soccer jersey.....this was indeed adoration of a dresseed up idol...performed in a church worship service....hardly kissing a soccer jersey as you mentioned
