Pope Francis, during his recent love-filled tour of the Phillippines, raised his hand in a salute and prompted some Internet tongue-wagging.
Standing next to Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle in Manila, the Pope raised his index and pinkie fingers, keeping his third and fourth fingers down and his thumb extended.
The cardinal did the same.
All of which prompted the Los Angeles Times to post on its music blog that the pontiff might have been making the sign of the horns, a heavy metal staple among concert fans, or perhaps a centuries-old devil sign.

I have to laugh at what you all come up with. An “I love you” sign is the devil sign. And what is “mahalo sign”???? It’s “hang loose” or “shaka” sign

Actually, the sign of the horns has the middle two fingers connected with the thumb...making a tacit head of a goat.
In the pick, his sign means something different.

Just looked. Deo's horns are slightly different as he keeps his thumb in. Looks like Texans keep the thumb in as well including Pres. Bush.
The Pope goes "thumb out" as do:

No need for head scratching.
Francis, the talking mule, will complete the changeover of the Roman Catholic Church to Satan’s ‘church’ on earth.
He, as well as all the so-called popes since Pius XII, will owe our Maker quite an explanation as to their complicity in creating an entirely new religion.

Seriously? Isn’t that “I love you” in sign language?
