Pope Francis has used his New Year message to denounce violence against women, hours after slapping a woman's hand to free himself from her grip.

"Women are sources of life. Yet they are continually insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves and to suppress the life they bear in the womb," the Pontiff told worshipers gathered at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican on Wednesday."Every form of violence inflicted upon a woman is a blasphemy against God, who was born of a woman.

Pope Francis smacks woman's hand to free himself from her gripRead MorePope Francis had been making his way to the Nativity scene in Vatican City on Tuesday, New Year's Eve. When he began to walk away from the crowd that had gathered to greet him, video shows a woman grabbing his hand and yanking him toward her.He became visibly upset, slapping the woman's hand in an attempt to extricate himself. Footage of the altercation also appears to show him shouting at the woman.

CNN is cancer

ShaoyangMa That wasn’t Godly !

TheAnnaBenson No frustration---just PAIN! don't yank an old man's arm. I would have been so nice. Just a slap? How about a punch!

It appears to me that she was assaulting him and he was responding in self-defense. She was out of line.

Thats not violence, that just being human...that woman had no right pulling his arm like that. For 1 it is disrespectful and 2 it probably hurt him. I'm quite sure majority of us would have done the same thing or even worse it somebody did this to us.

I think the reason why he tap her hands was he went out of balance

What a cheap shot .

Te retrataste de cuerpo entero viejo Francisco.

Shame on you for seeing the pope's action as violence against women. Even the pope should defend himself against an aggressor. She yanked him, he could have fallen, he was taken off guard and slapped her hand. So a person defending himslf is now the violent one? She was.....

She is at fault,you cannot drag someone like that,Pope just trying to defend himself

She yank on his arm...I believe her actions were more violent than his

He was angry because the women grabbed his hand! Why it came to the level of Christian

He should have found out why she needed him instead of shoving her away!!

I saw a woman who was simply over-zealous who wasn’t thinking. I suspect she may have some personal problems and very much wanted his personal blessing. I don’t think her intention was bad. We don’t know what burdens she may be carrying. He over-reacted.

He is just human reacting to a situation...

Woman aggressively drags in elderly man. There’s your alternative headline.

WTF? IS YOUR HEADLINE ALL ABOUT? WHAT ARE YA TRYING TO IMPLY?

You are trying to make a story out of nothing. You can see him in pain when she pulls at him and completely invades his personal space. She was the aggressor, not him. Stop trying to spin this to fit your narrative.

The pope was obviously yanked violently and you know it. Don't sensationalized it please. Plus you know that he did apologize to what happened. Don't twist the story

I got your nose

Pope has a bit of a temper.

A flash of anger unbecoming of a Pope, but so is yanking an 80+ year old man backwards, IMO.

The heading should be[ pope Francis has used his New Year message to denounce violence Against women, hours after a woman forceful grabbed his hand and later on he apologizes for what happened] plus he is a human being

Really CNN? Wow. This is characterized by you as violence? Against women? What is a matter with you. You have become a rag magazine with this headline. Congrats. CNN has just lost all credibility after this

It Texas, his security would've capped that lady...

maybe that woman is chinese.

She yanked an older persons arm I think he taught her he's not a toy

He was defending himself. She was wrong man she about jerked his arm off..

So we’re just gonna IGNORE the fact that she PULLED him towards her? Is that how we wanna view this now?

Horrible headline.

No one is an idol

Like to have seen a Papal karate chop to the neck! The Dude was obviously through with the meet and greet.

هذول يسبحون بالدم ٢٤ ساعة

Yes he apologized but this is a very telling Moment about him as a person

I do not where he did anything wrong! She should NOT have grabbed him first! THE WAS STUNNED! IJS SLEEPSECURITY

. Pontifex_pt love Evo Terrorist Morales

. Pontifex_pt is SATAN

POPE IS A HUMAN , NOT A GOD..

wtf reevaluate your headline

Um tapinha não dói....rsrs Hipócrita😉

No good.

Myghaddd, ! Umayos kayo

Wow CNN, is it too hard to include that he publicly apologized during that speech? You create a public perception. Please at least try to make it accurate.

Who writes your articles? Preposterous

What is she saying though?

thisisKennyV He’s human after all

This story is typical of what CNN does. They tried to portray a normal human reaction to something unexpected into a full blown HATE issue in order to make headlines. CNN stands for Crappy News Network.

That woman should come out publicly and apologize to Christians

Are you kidding me The guy had every right to hit that women's hand. She was hurting him by pulling his hand towards her against his will. So disrespectful to the man. Don't even understand why he had to apologize?😠

Media nga naman

Can anyone tell me what the woman said to the Pope?

This is so hilarious

You make it out like he's a hypocrite. A) The woman GRABBED him, in itself rude; B) He almost fell! Would she pay for hospitalization /medical care if he did? C) I get she was excited. I would be OVER THE MOON. But to pull him like that? No bueno!

🙈🙈🙈

Wtf

I don’t blame him! She yanked him back. Have some respect lady!

That’s the new world we leave in. If you defend you self against an aggressive person and the aggressor happens not to be a man!!! Sorry for you. Because the world will always say you are at fault

if I were the pope, I would've even slap her lol you don't pull someone like that, especially an old one. shame

Shame upon you . Dont try to be this cheap. Every human being has their personal space.

Come on. He’s still human. That’s not abusing women that’s called boundaries.

He’s the Pope, not Jesus! She was lucky she only had her hand slapped.

Bad behaviour

Looked like she was hurting him...

Wtf, CNN!!!

Such sensationalism. I think anyone would react that way if you were to be gripped and pulled by someone, even the pope. Jeez.

You can do better than this

misleading

It's human beings inefficiency. He is not an angle.

benjcruzzz

The Hand of God...

what a crappy headline

There was no violence against “women”. There was a defensive slap to get away from a crazed aggressor. He did the correct thing. And I have seen him do it before. If people can’t control themselves, he just should no longer come close enough to touch.

What a hell woman?

What was the lady saying?

Really

She clearly pulled and hurt him... shut your face media.. what would the rest of us done if someone randomly pulled at you and wouldn’t let go!?!?

ZaveunalliV

To err is human...😶

He is elderly man thus she yanked badly almost gripped him about to down. She shouldn't and he apologized is again nice of him.

Why was he only touching the little kids though?

The woman deserved it to be honest, why did she pull him like that 🙄

He had the right

I would have bitch slapped her.

You said it “Her Grip”...she was agressif!! You don’t grab and pull the Pope period.

WhoCares

🤣🤣🤣🤣

your interpretation of what transpired is pretty wild. Good caption if your readers are nitwits.

What a terrible headline! Don’t actually start becoming fake news!

As Christians we should be slow to anger as we are taught by the bible,as a leader do you really practice?

Well she asked for it lol you don't just pull on the elderly shit...

As a non-catholic, let me say this is simply HOW A NORMAL PERSON REACTS WHEN HARRASSED. STOP IMPLYING AS IF HE IS A HYPOCRITE FOR HAVING TO ACT LIKE THIS. Journalists gotta step up your headline game cause people arent your fools anymore

She's wrong here

He is trash

Really! And the woman did nothing wrong here? Come on, he was perfectly in the right to get away from her.

Pope : don’t come for me unless I call you😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not very Godly of him

He is only a man....she is only a woman......they firstone maybe tired, the secondone maybe exited......keep kalm.....!!!

She pulled his arm pretty hard so she got what she deserved.

السراج_الوفاق_شرعيتنا

Anyone here care to translate what the woman was saying

LusiHQ cobak kau sebar nih video diteel kau yaak...🙄🙄 Kau buat pulak narasi2 yg sama seperti kau mengumbar kebencian thd kami Kaum Muslim.. Jgn Ngaku ATHEIS doank kau...tapi Islam mulu yg kau serang

Good for him... Do not be pulling or pushing people around.

BruceEppard2

Bobo naman ng writer neto. hahahahaha

🤦‍♀️

And then the lady keeps trying to talk to him. She must be so embarrassed to go home.

she also apologized for the aggression?

Self entitled cow deserved a good slap and more

Hypocritical pope, got caught in a moment of truth

misChivas1997 lmao hoes mad

a very misleading headline

This has nothing to do with violence against women. Whoever wrote this headline should be fired. He pulled away several times before he hit her and the woman wouldn't let go, that's assault, He had every right to hit her. Keep in mind I hate the Pope and think religion is stupid.

She probably hurt his shoulder

Only when a mosquito lands on your testicle you realize that not everything is solved in the slap.

I’m not really down with anything organized religion but this headline is trolling and in these times, especially disappointing.

That was scary...

She deserved it.

Well... she shouldn't have grabbed him. Respect of someone's personal space is paramount.

Dear CNN... read your tweet for an example why your network's ratings are in the toilet. I'd recommend to BeBetter but we all know you aren't capable.

nancylee2016

Optics

What an assinine story

Now, that’s one rowdy meet and greet.

Of course jumped on this story......but other religions stoning and burying women not so much......BTW, the Pope was wrong....

Que vergonha... cara imundo... 😠😠😠😠😠

He is just as phony as the religion and a whole practice he was mad as hell nasty motherfuker

Imagina se tivesse de conviver com uma mulher o dia inteiro? Bater em mulher pode?

He is also human the lady was not suppose to drag him she was rude

She deserved it. 👌👌

She brought it up.

Let’s all remember this man is a human and a sinner like all of us, he is certainly not god on earth but seeing that from a man in his position in the church surprised many. Say a pray for him, god will listen

You all keep believing he’s someone special. He’s a mere mortal like the rest of us. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why did she drag him that way? He could have fallen

Sad....no more comments

She very aggressively grabbed and tugged on him. He probably acted out of instinct as any of us would.

You do realize the Pope is an 83 year old man!

Omg CNN. The woman was totally out of line. The pope is not a robot. How is this violence against a woman. Smdh

The idea of suggesting that the Pipe, momentarily upset and nearly toppled by excessive clinging, was exhibiting 'violence against women' is a bit sensationalistic.

Yeah because a little slap in the hand is the same as a full on beat down. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That woman was probably planted by some government to embarrass the pope. What a shame that, out of all the good words the Pope said on New Years, this is what the world is speaking of. pope popeFrancis

To be fair, she just about pulled an elderly man off his feet, and off balance. That was aggressive. As a senior with balance problems, it would have put me on my face.

This person is not suitable for this position

This is not on the Pope, the women was rude. Sure she may have been over excited, but that is no excuse for being so rude. Her behavior needs to be called into question, not his. Typical of a space invader. No lady, its not all about you.

Most of my news feed on the Pope. Wow. 😯

That is brutality 😡

CNN you are clowns - another ridiculous false story - the man was basically pulled down. He acted appropriately

There's clickbait then there's this crappy headline. This Pope has said a lot I disagree with but for the love of all that is Holy, did you have to tie these things together? Sheesh. Starting 2020 on a desperate note are you?

LOL 😂

humans being humans

I would have fuckin slapped her too.

Who cares

He is an old guy She's viciously pulling him I'm a woman, I'm a feminist, I'm an atheist The Pope is absolutely right in his behavior

Can’t say I blame him the way she grabbed his hand, she was the aggressor!

The Pope and CNN are getting more and more famous. He apologized though...

It’s called self defense aka fake news

Agora pode né ?

This just shows again how much division and hate spreads in the world, along with most of the news agencies. Instead of spreading fictitious and poisonous headlines to the world should be sharing news of hope, peace and good vibes for this new 2020 year. Happy NewYear!

🙄

Bishops going to jail for touching lil boys this year on?

Stop idolizing these people!

She was hurting him.

Grossly overplayed 'story.' The Pope had a right to break free of her grip.

Dumbest clickbait headline I’ve ever read

All Catholics Seeing This. A leader of 1 billion followers WOW!! Skanky

She almost pulled his arm out of the socket.

Really CNN, get better at trying to select a headline especially when the incident is right in front of you!!! She attacked him and she didn’t show any respect!!

Popes baby mama say y u no pay for child

Ignorant woman

Hypocrisy at its finest. No wonder many people have turned away from the Catholic Church.

O assino do maduro ele abraço e ama o assassino e ditador que tem matado o povo Venezuelano.

Oh my god he slapped her hand!, she will have to go through countless hours of therapy and psychological treatment to get over this terrible turn of events that has befallen her, her hand will never be the same... Like STFU.

I would have done the same thing.

The woman was totally wrong,she nearly fall the pope

This should be a cnn opinion article

unprofessional security, other than that an old man was only trying to save his hand 🖐

CNN Shame on you for such a misleading headline! She should have never yanked him let that. In a crowd these days one can never be too careful. She’s lucky the body guards didn’t step in. Absolutely disrespectful that this woman took the liberty to do such a thing.

It looks like she hurt him a bit.

She started it.

His apology and honest acknowledgment of his mistake are worth emulating. God bless Pope Francis!

what a pope

She hurt him! He just reacted like any human being

How ironic that CNN spotlights this while forever ignoring the institutional violence and abuse of women in the Islamic world. No surprise.

Frankly he had nothing to apologize for. Everyone else in the crowd touched his hand and never tried to grab him. Her actions were completely uncalled for, violent. I’m sure as the Pope, you get your share of death threats, hate mail etc. He was right to pull away from her.

Pope Petulant the First. Just another man hiding his hypocrisy behind religious garb.

Give me a break. She grabbed him. Men can’t do that to women. Women shouldn’t do it to men.

People from China have no boundaries.

I’m disappointed that he felt he had to apologize. She should be apologizing.

Oooh I see. I see it now. I see why so many people hate CNN.

Do better !

And cnn New Years message was Anderson Cooper talking about c*ck size

No reason for what he did! Those religious fanatics think he’s actually a god and will do whatever to personally have contact with him! And he damn well knows it!

Hmm..would Jesus have done that..

Fire the dumbass that wrote that.

BlissTabitha Glad he apologized. Nobody’s perfect - except for Jesus.

He's the Pope not a celebrity keep your hands off

This man in a white dress is a Kirchnerista, what did ppl expect from him They are demons. If you dont know what 'kirchnerista/kirchnerismo' means... well, feel yourself extremely lucky. Worst kind of ppl on Earth... perverse, sick and evil.

Are you serious?

The video is clear - she was wrong. The Pope apologized regardless which is the correct response.

Um CNN. Fam, do y’all not see the way she was grabbing him? I’d do the same tbh. Nobody gonna grab me like that LOL

Hypocrite like most men in power. Pontifex Priests that abuse children don’t even get a slap on the wrist. They just get transferred to abuse more children in a different church. Bullshit CatholicChurch

Dude looked tired.

First day of the year with fake news. Smh. Clean it up.

Looks like the Pope started off 2020 with a bangs!😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because he makes role. He doesn't tolerate even a small behaviour that he doesn't like. Abusing people's well-intend. That is the reality.

Do not conflate “self defence” to “violence against women.” I despise violence, but self defence should morally be allowed. That person looked like they were going to yank a 83 year old’s arm out of its papal socket. HumanityFirst

wow, guess Catholicism is really bad for one's mental wellbeing...

WOWEE WOW WOW!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣

Wow. Not the sweet guy he pretends to be. Disgusting.

Delete this headline,

so simple - in crisis situations the mask falls and we show our true face

To be fair, the woman yanked him hard and may have caused pain in addition to the surprise/fear factor. This is a media-created controversy.

CNN at it again. Wtf would you do. She basically pulled an 80 year olds arm out of its socket. You guys are the most biased and race/religion baiting people in the world. It’s disgusting.

She certainly had a tight grip on him as she tugged him. Fortunately nothing was spilled.

I think he would have slapped a man's hand if he did it too.

Hippocrate just like all humans.

He's only human..

The SJW that wrote this headline needs to be slapped.

This woman is crazy, the Pope could have fallen,

The woman was violently pulling on him. A light slap on the hand is not exactly abuse. But I still appreciate that he apologized unlike some other people in positions of power.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She twisted his arm, it must have hurt. She should also apologize!

he s a normal human being as anyone else. he s not God, he s supposed to be the one in between us and God so fair enough to me.

... why do you continue to post this ridiculous headline?

I hope you're not implying this was violence...

This headline is purposefully inflammatory and irresponsible. The pope shook many pilgrims' hands by choice. This woman invaded his personal space and grabbed him roughly without permission. His reaction was a reflex and he apologized. I expect better from

Shame! 😳👀

I'm not a supporter of Pope Francis! I do not agree with the excessive politically correct of his pontificate and the continuous interference in Italian politics, especially given to the reception of illegal immigrants! But it must be said that lady behaved very rudely!

anger is invincible 😂😂😂

And he rightly so slapped her hand away. He’s 83 years old and at the age, she could have hurt him due to the force in which she pulled his arm. I’m surprised the guards didn’t step in.

Washington's real intentions in Iraq were determined by US attacks. IraqiRevolution iraqProtest

Shame on you CNN... You misconstrued the facts

I saw something that was ethical.

Not what Jesus would have done.

Dumb headlines CNN, in today's world how did he know if she had a knife, or a gun or whatever or she was going to pull him off his feet. Get real

This so unacceptable. Why are you chastising the Pope when this bizarre woman grabbed him like that. She could have harmed him. STOP THE IDIOCY!

Why in the feed from cnn in español the story is correct and not exaggerated

“From her grip.”

This is an unnecessarily inflammatory characterization of what happened. You guys are not helping anyone other than yourselves when you troll for clicks without shame.

That was a violent grip from the woman which could have resulted in anything .. Why not look at it that way?

Oh my my heart hurts for all

Get lost with the damn violence against women, ya'll are mental, she grabbed his hand hard & it was painful you could tell, even pulling him back..good for him!

She almost broke his arm.

That's a shitty take.

This is ridiculous to imply the Pope is violent. Shame on you!

fakenews

I do not care about the Pope at all, but I have to say if the lady wouldn't let go then he had the right to slap her. Gender is a non-issue here. She grabbed him and wouldnt let go, it's on her. 🤷🏼‍♀️

cnn that is absurd. That was not violence. I'm Catholic. I get this lady's excitement. But hellllllooooo. Manners? Don't even put those two situations together. No one, not even the Pope has to accept that. Come on. Do better. Pathetic.

Seriously ? She actually yanked him over.

Bad call CNN. She yanked his hand towards her Against the rules of security for him.

Leave him alone. Easy!

Well that should teach her an important lesson!

The violence was committed by her.

Hypocrite. You’re supposed to be better than that. PopeFrancis Hire better security & maybe you wouldn’t be in this position right now.

That’s a loaded tweet...

This is a really, really dumb headline. Take it down ASAP.

The Pope surely sensed that the woman might be a lunatic fanatic (the type who assassinated John Lennon and shot Pope John Paul2

ay no seas huevon a ver te jalo el brazo y de ahí no estes jodiendo

Fake news from liberal CNN!!

Don’t blame him , she wouldn’t let go of his hand.

Fake news network kicks the year off.

Fake news. She clearly wouldn't let go. Totally okay to defend yourself

Are you insinuating that an elderly man defending himself against a potential threat just because it came from a woman is some how violence against women? Cuz it sure sounds like you were.

He apologized!

Nuts. The woman yanked him and wouldn’t let go. The pope gets a pass she was simply wrong.

*Turns on Twitter* *Sees first stupid headline of 2020* *Goes back to bed*

She had it coming...

She was just as “violent“ as he was. If a man grabbed a woman’s hand and pulled her back, wouldn’t she be justified in slapping him?

He needs to step down.

Enough of the BS. What the hell does it matter that he slapped her to free himself. If that public figure was a woman, the headline will be , Assault. Stop the gaslighting, it’s just doing an injustice to the women who really have to deal with Domestic Violence

Oh come on, don't even BEGIN to equate the two situations🙄

She was too intense and strong, he is an elder, what if he was your 83 years old grandpa? This headline misleads!

OMG why did she pull his hand. The Pope was too shock at the way she pull his hand. Her feelings are hurt as well as the Pope. Pope Francis is a very gentle person.

Foolish media are contrasting the pope's speech about the violence with the pope's act to a woman who is rude and violent. Pope's act was not a violence.

the pope is human. people need to respect his personal space

RenunciaFrancisco PopeFrancisResign Pontifex The Pope is rude!

It’s one of those do as I say, not as I do things I guess.

Give this a rest.

New year, same fake news CNN here, wow.

Unfair headline . I was hoping you’d start the new year off without misleading the readers. The video itself actually needed no headline as it’s pretty clear he was reacting to his arm being yanked.

This is the 4th time I’ve seen this story from cnn on my feed this morning. All were posted within 4 hours. Clearly someone has an agenda here. Settle down cnn.

I knew that was coming. So is it politically incorrect to say the woman brought in on herself?

She deliberately pulled the hand of the Pope with force and refused to allow him go with without slapping her hand. The Pope did well to free himself from a premeditated bad behaviour.

Y’all still believe in this bs 🙈 it’s 20/20 open your eyes 😂

Since your so pro women, where is your reporting of Hunter Biden refusing to pay child support to the women he had a child with. You are negative to the Pope but that scumb-g gets a pass from you. No wonder your ratings are lower than a Bonaza reruns.

After she attempted to dislocate his shoulder.

The woman was assaulting him IBelieveHim

He gave her hand the same tap that I'd give a toddler who grabbed something they aren't supposed to. She was completely in the wrong and she wasn't hurt.

Oops...a slip of the mask for a second there.

tell me what you want but she started it

Why is he apologizing for defending himself against forcible touching?

And the Pope apologized. He’s human. Meanwhile, back in the US...

Yeah, you guys suck for this headline. lol She's lucky she didn't receive more from security to be honest. I can't believe I wasted my time in college studying journalism only for it to fall into a lawless state of chaos and corruption. Happy New Years.

This is a bullshit headline.

This headline is stupid. You surprised me , in the worst way...

She wouldn't release him. What was he supposed to do? SHEESH!

Bloody Asian's

...and a ridiculous headline. CNN should be ashamed of themselves.

CNN, are you beginning to compete with the National Enquirer. You may wish to rethink your strategy but then again maybe your top management is only interested in competing with the National Enquirer! What a shame?

So he can’t claim sovereignty over his own body?

Politics cnni Business you have serious issues with your messaging... stop interpreting your own bias headline grabbing comments and just report the news let people make they’re own conclusions... 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is bad journalism.

She obviously was hurting him. He done the right thing.

Well you just don't grab someone's hands that's rude , To no women violence and being rude Happy New Year's

Women will never advance or be safe as long as they trust old white men to create their lives for them.

Great headline . He’s an elderly man. She pulled him so hard she nearly knocked him over and then wouldn’t let go.

He had every right. She was wrong.

She was gonna drag him down..CNN get a life that’s not violence

I think it isn't the first time he did something out of line..

If you took it to a court of law the woman committed the first offence. End of. Some people need to take a chill pill and get a life.

Ya gotta love the Catholic Church. Just like the US Government

This headline is redic.

I am not a fan of the Pope but this Network is scum.

What a misleading headline! 🤦🏻‍♂️

What a hawt garbage take. Truly. Bravo!

There’s a huge difference between violence against women and what he did to that woman who grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her without his permission. This is such a ridiculous story.

CNN with more clickbait bullshit already.

Anderson was talking about his cock on CNN last night, that was far more disturbing 🤮

What a way to start a new year . Keep up this kinda garbage journalism and you'll be irrelevant before the end of the next decade. Happy F******* New Year.

Stupid CNN

Haha

This headline is pretty bad. This kind of crap is bait for the trump crowd and their loathing of you.

Simply more misleading news from media attempting to distort the truth. Remember this stretch with all other stories as well.

A person crossed the line and was hurting another person and they defended themselves, has nothing to do with gender....

Ok sure. Others might get the message too....

Horrible take.

Not the same thing.

Not newsworthy if it were a male. Equality? Let go of him of get smacked on the hand. Big fricken deal

Grabbing a man (Pope) like that is violence towards men. She should have been charged with assault.

Oxymoron

Even celebrities have personal boundaries

He too has the right to personal space.

Unwanted touching. If a woman can defend herself, definitely the Pope can.

He wasn’t violent, she was. Grabbing his hand and yanking him. He slapped her hand several times to let go in defense. Get the headline story straight.

Cnn = always twisting the story to create hate.. unbelievable

Your headline sucks! She was rude and should never have yanked him toward her! He was obviously surprised and in pain!

From an atheist: that's a ridiculous slander of a headline.

That's a BS headline, A woman was hurting him and after crying out in pain she slapped her hand, he didn't continue to attack after she released his hand.

You need to go pray to that black God you knell down and pray to a little more, Pope.

Really CNN. Don't make dramawhere there isn't any.

The mask slips. Demon.

She has strong hand as well as power, the way she managed to grab the Pope's hand and he had no way to resist.....
