Yea, that’s right.
If he really wanted to deal with it in true Italian fashion he would have blessed her, kissed her cheeks, and gave her a warm grandfatherly smile and walked away.
And then have his paid goons deal with her in the seclusion of a nice alley . . . /NO SARC
Thank you. I think you’d probably agree with me that his language was a big mistake. It’s hard to fathom him thinking those words would reflect on the church well, him being the Pope.
It’s a mess.
I don’t have a problem with him being touched. I agree with your take about touching, but touching doesn’t translate well with what this woman actually did.
I don’t think she gave enough thought to her actions. She’s probably a much better person than this reflects. Sorry it turned out this way for her.
I just hope she can understand on some level that she also went overboard.
She wouldn’t have liked being jerked around like that.
baloney....he’s the pope....nothing unusual about what she did....
What did the pope say?
“Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!”
Matthew 9:20-22 20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” 22Jesus turned and saw her AND YELLED AT HER AND SLAPPED HER[/POPE ALEXANDER TRANSLATION]
Did he or did he not call her the Spanish word for b*tch?
This could be Bidens arch-enemy corn pope.
He will announce his resignation this year.
And Jesus slapped a bitch.......so what? Since this Pope is your guy, you have to live with him...........Not me.
Twitter, blogs, a bit here and there, people analyzing sound: desperate plea about religious persecution, “killing” of Christians by Chinese govt.
(Facilitated by the China-Vatican agreement... any wonder pope panicked?)
The Asian people have long memories. The question is, how did they perceive the pope’s action. For one thing, he caused that woman to “lose face.” You could see her expression as he walked away from him.
She looked like she might be a Filipina, and if so; the pope will be about as popular in the Philippines as the Beatles at an Imelda Marcos birthday party.
That really needs to be clarified. From listening to tape several times, I did not hear that, only “mano! mano!”
Perhaps he has a lot of threats on his life and gets spooked easily. I’m not a Francis lover, he has been a disappointment but in these days there’s a lot of kooks out there.
Poor woman should have had a burka on. The Dope would have leapt into her arms
She seemed to like him and perhaps wanted to greet him. The expression on her face turned from pleasant to surprised/disappointed as soon as he slapped her hand.
I don’t think she had bad intentions.
He is an impatient, arrogant SOB and should find another field of work.
“Had it been a tranny, he would have caressed her lovingly.”
This.
