Thanks for posting.

I agree that the woman’s pulling on his arm probably triggered some adrenaline in the pope. But I question his alleged foul language and then turning away from the woman with a skowl on his face.

Consider that Matthew 15:22-28 shows that Jesus initially handled the plea of a Canaanite woman for her daughter by not replying to the woman. But unlike the pope, Jesus turned the encounter into a lesson of faith.

I did not hear the verbal comment from him.

If it was a secular reaction including some cursing, I’d have to say that was a mistake.

I’m willing to give the guy some slack, but there are certain limits what he should do in a situation like this.

I think it was a massive mistake to vote this guy into this position.

He should be nowhere near leadership in the church > IMO.
