Pope Francis avoided at all costs the faithful who kissed the ring: why?

In a pastoral visit that does not seem to have been one more, the dad Francisco health to a large number of Catholics who came to the Sanctuary of Loreto to admire its silhouette. However, a striking gesture surprised many people because on approaching to kiss him, the fisherman's ring avoids at all costs that he did it and even for many he took away his powerful form hand.

The video that was immediately spread via social networks was broadcast by Edward Pentin, Rome's correspondent for the Catholic city EWTN. And according to what the reporter said, it was not the first time that the Sovereign Pontiff was observed to avoid being kissed by the ring.

In addition, Pentin pointed out that this time he had attracted attention because the Holy Father had repeated the gesture in front of each faithful who was approaching and that some of them had withdrawn his hand almost without touching or kissing his right hand (almost guessing). kiss the ring), the wearer of the polmica ring.

Beyond that, the correspondent revealed that he had consulted the Vatican press service to obtain explanations about the curious behavior of the bishop of Rome, while stating that I still have not received an answer.

While waiting for an official explanation from the Holy See, the truth is that Francisco's attitude had already been seen at another time and would not result in a gesture of fatigue or lack of good will towards the faithful. On the contrary, apparently, the pope interprets the act of "kissing his ring" as a gesture of submission and he does not wear the fisherman's ring as a sign of authority, but as a sign of service to God on Earth.

As he did with many traditions of the Church, the pope seems to want to eradicate once and for all these hierarchical gestures and that, on many occasions, they seem to invoke an act of submissiveness typical of the Mafia or of another sphere foreign to the Christian institution, and not of a pope to his faithful.

Similarly, we will have to wait in the coming hours if an official voice of the Vatican clarifies the problem that some users have misunderstood or even seemed out of place, as shown by the comments of social networks.
