After slapping incident, the pope kisses nun who vows not to bite
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis, who last month angrily slapped the hand of a woman who yanked him toward her, gave a light-hearted reaction more typical of his papacy on Wednesday when a nun asked him for a kiss. He said yes, although only after she promised not to bite him.
The diminutive nun promised, saying “Si” . He then kissed her on the right cheek, leaving her even more ecstatic than before. She jumped up and down shouted “Grazie, Papa”. . The video of that incident went viral on social media and the next day Francis apologized, saying he had set a “bad example”.Francis, unlike some of his predecessors, is usually very informal with well wishers at such non-religious events, stopping to kiss babies, bless the handicapped, and allowing hundreds of people to touch his hand.
