Footage of Pope Francis repeatedly pulling his hand away from being kissed by a long line of people has gone viral, becoming part of the Catholic cultural wars between conservatives and progressives.
This is baffling.... I don't know why they wanted to kiss his ring but he is clearly uncomfortable with people kissing his hands...why do they ALL try despite his obvious discomfort?!?
Only young boys may kiss his Holy Ring 🙏
katypopp 😂
Snigger guffaw.. no double entendre there then!
Stevendadams you’ll enjoy this.
Who doesn't like getting their ring kissed? ................pope Francis, that who. At least buy him dinner first.
I'd try to take his hat off, put it on my head, and take a selfie.
He probably had one go missing in the last kiss the ring scession he had. 😆
Lol... it’s almost like it makes a mockery of it all. 😂
Kissing his ring seems like a such a wet wipe thing anyway, why didn’t someone surprise him by trying a friendly headlock? That would’ve been fantastic. Little scruffle on the head.
Take off you're ring Francisco pope
OK, this is funny.
Pope Francis has many small skeletons in his closet.
Should've stayed in the pope mobile
Margaritarosadf . Esa es la explicación. 🤗
I'm confused. Is it a hygiene thing? Is he just doing it for shits and giggles? Those poor conditioned Catholics who've been taught all their lives that this is what you do - they must all be in flagellation frenzies by now.

A feeling of discontent or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions qualities or luck
Probably smells of his boyfriend!!
WOW 😲
Can someone explain why he didn’t let them? Is there a rule against it?
The only ones who can kiss his “ring” are choir boys.
Some of them people might have dreamed about kissing his ring, bit rude of him
People just shouldn't kiss the Pope's hand, it's a real hygiene issue.
Algebraic87 😮
Ye’d think he was on price work
It must be alien to a clergyman for people of that age to get down on their knees in front of them.
The ring is reserved for choir boys.
Remove the ring. Stop holding hands. wave, say hello! Look but don't touch.
This is the bloke that people call the people’s Pope right? Yeah, Nah! The eccentricities of the Catholic Church are unbelievable! Looking forward to a reformed & real Church with real people, like women & other such! Don’t need rings. Maybe some tattoos!
What no tongues?
You’d be amazed how many rings he has lost that way. 🤣
Lol Must be in contact with this polish priest 😂
hahahahahhahahaaha
Why's he so frigid
maubuitron Mira esto
He's protecting the sheep from contamination. Imagine if the sheep kissed that ring
He'd prefer another age group
More creepy weird stuff from religion... shocker
Bet he'd be good at a game of Red Hands or Knuckles.
To kiss the pope’s ring is not to honor that man, but to honor St Peter, whose successor he is. Orthodox Catholics, like the ones trying to kiss his ring, are engaging in a very traditional custom.
Old fart
What does it matter
Well better safe than sorry... any one of those Catholics could be anti-vaxxers and infested with measles or mumps! 🤢🤢
Can’t kiss the ring but rimming is allowed
i love this pope 👍
flattero 😂😂😂
That’s just a bit awkward really!
That headline again? I beg your pardon?
I just wish that all religious leaders were as effective at dismantling their doctrines as he is.
ikaveri 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trek is aan mijn vinger
I wouldn’t like to have my ring kissed so many times!
Too slow!

What's he doing wearing a big gold ring anyway! you know the priest's at the services asked for jewelry an they melted it down for their own purpose.... fucking thief's.
No ring kiss, just kids kiss
redbaron_93
He could take it OFF then. TheBestofaBadLotIsStillPartoftheBadLot
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Superb headline.
Check out my plane fights
kez09102713 haha he’s had enough
They should have chosen this move..
Usually when you see men bowing before a priest like this it's to polish their knob.
callodehacha YazRD DRDLuna no era falso
callodehacha He could have just held a sign stating he didn’t want anyone kissing his ring! 😂
planet of the apes
Just any reason why the Catholic Church is so irrelevant in today’s society
the one ring to bind them ...........................
Pingachoo is this a world redemption play for all the rings his Priests have long had hid ? just a question 🌍
I see skills. Fast like a Yedi he is!
Lol so many heart breaks
Pingachoo Thankfully I don’t think the day is too far off when people like this won’t exist anymore. That said I probably won’t live to see it.

Thank God I’m an atheist!
Perfectly normal behaviour. 🙄 humanism needed now more than ever.
Gerroff me ring! But Ted said I should kiss it, didn’t ya, Ted? Not now Dougal. I’m so sorry, Your Almighty Popeliness, you’ll have to excuse Dougal, he’s new to worshipping God an’ stuff I don’t care! Just bugger off - the both of you. Oh, and bless you my sons...
Pedo
I wouldn’t appreciate anyone kissing my ring never mind a bunch of strangers....
the church has a problem with adapting with the times. how ‘bout high fives or chest bumps?
Dead right. It was always odd behaviour.
Is this really 21 century?
😂😂😂
For the record, the reason we revile holy water is that the active ingredient is fecal matter. Everyone's seen the docudrama 'Spotlight' about the Catholic church child rape cover-ups, right?
Well.... inappropriate but if the ring fits.
A lot of Priest do not like being kissed. It is an invasion of their space. And it spreads germs.
Such a prankster!
Just take the thing off...💋💍
needs a benny hill theme tune!!
He should have explained his position before the ceremony.
If you kiss the ring do you get a prize or something?
Pope Francis killing that boomerang app
Suggestion Leave it at home in a box. Problem solved 💍Jesus never wore a ring
I see...
🤣
Click link and see why he doesn't like his ring kissed....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shocking
“No seas egoistaaaaa” antongtz91
one ring to rule them all. 'We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious' RING 🤪
At what point people realize that he doesn't want to be kissed?
He isn't emotionally available
Can't he just say 'please don't kiss my ring?'
It’s a reverse Trump handshake.
hahaha let them agahaaha it is just a ring
And this is worth being in the news...
maybe he'd just done a big watery shit and forgot to wash his hands
Silly man did not have another more polite way of doing that? Like greeting with the other hand, leaving the ringed one behind, or removing the bloody ring. But his ways look awfully disrespectful.
Como zafa Que rapidez
benhicks17 you at 0:45
I bet he plays the *points at your chest* - “what’s that on your shirt” - *bops you on the nose* game really well.
que asco !
