Angry Pope Francis lashes out as worshipper grabs his arm during Nativity scene visit

Pope Francis has lashed out at a worshipper in an attempt to free his arm from her grip during a visit to a Nativity scene in St Peter's Square.

He delighted tourists on New Year's Eve when he took a stroll through the Square, but he was taken by surprise as he was dragged back by a woman eager to hold his hand.

Francis exclaimed and then struck the woman's hand twice to free himself.

Yep, “vicar of Christ” that is exactly what the One you are pretending to represent would have done to the woman that touched the hem of his garment.

Given that this Frank character is a commie @hole, this shouldn’t surprise anyone in the least.

He's an Argie...I worked for two years in Argentina; coulda told everyone he would be a disaster.

I can see where any public figure might be defensive against someone who grabs them and won’t let go. But if he actually called her ‘bruja’ - in the slang or the proper sense - that says a lot more by itself.

Hillary wouldn’t allow the White House staff to even look at her. Gosh, what would she have done if someone dared to touch her?

The story of the woman who touched Jesus's cloak comes to mind. What Jesus treated this woman with the blood problem the same way? Slapped her. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Tell you what, when you’re headed in one direction, and someone jerks you by the arm in the opposite direction forcefully enough to whip you around, it will startle and hurt you.

Have a member of the family jerk you like that. Knowing it’s coming, you’ll see what it would feel like if you didn’t know it was coming.

If I saw Trump treated like that, I’d back him decking the person. He wouldn’t have to, because the SS would be on them like flies on rice.

My opinion of that creep would’ve been the same if he’d given the woman a new car.

Yes. A common reaction but the anger displayed was more deeply seated.
