Vatican City: Pope Francis apologizes for being angry over New Year’s Eve Papa apologized yesterday for being angry with the woman he took in his arms. The incident occurred as the Pope went to Christmas Eve to greet the pilgrims at St. Peter’s Square. Just before he reached the young woman, the pope changed the direction he was walking. Suddenly, a young woman in the front row grabbed the pope’s right hand and dragged her to him.
The woman, who had been told to leave but did not hold back, was struck by the hand of the woman and proceeded to revile her. The Pope issued an apology while offering the divine sacrifice yesterday. We often have patience. The same for me. “I apologize for yesterday’s bad example,” said Pope Francis. Many people have commented on social media that the confession of the pope is rather exemplary, rather than offensive.
