VATICAN CITY: On New Year’s Eve, there has been a great debate over the Pope’s reaction to a woman holding her hand in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square. Angered by the pain of the unexpected incident, the pope publicly apologized the next day. But without stopping, Pope Francis has shown the world a classic example of apologizing to the woman he has shaken off his hands. The details of the meeting, which was held on January 8, appeared in the international media yesterday.
After a series of public lectures on Wednesday at Paul VI Hall, there was a meeting of forgiveness and love. A translator was also in place to translate the conversation between the Pope and the woman. Before that meeting, Pope Francis spoke of St. Paul and the love of God. The Pope said in his message that Christ can create good even from a failure. The message that the pope has embodied in the essence of the message is now gaining a large foothold in social media.
On January 31, the Pope was approaching Christmas Eve. 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 was not caught by the grip of the affair, smashed her hand with her back and proceeded to curse the pope. The next day, the pope said, “Sometimes we lose control, and so do we, and apologize for the bad deeds of the past day.”
