Locked. Religion isn't my thing, and I know that Catholicism has issues, historically and now. Still, we don't abuse groups here. There were way too many comments that were really nasty about Catholics.

he seems to be having fun with that game.

Why are they still trying to kiss his hands in spite of him being uncomfortable? I almost feel bad for the guy. Are they really messing with him?

I'm pretty sure he would normally let people kiss his ring, if I remember correctly, this was during covid

The fact that they keep trying is still very off putting. Like if he said no to the 7th person in front of them I would think they would get the point but...

They're in a line, most people are only seeing the back of the person ahead of them, they might not catch him pulling his hands away and are just seeing everyone lean forward to kiss the ring... so they go ahead and do it too.

Wild that angles need to be explained to people.

[удалено]

they do/did. I was in Italy when pope john paul the 2nd died and they let people walk past his body. Signs everywhere to keep moving and don't cross the barrier, still had TONS of people attempting to circumvent the barrier, hop it. Just to touch, kiss the pope or leave flowers and keepsakes on his corpse. I didn't envy the swiss guard that day, stressful as fuck. People are fucking weird with religion.

People are fucking weird

And yet I don't remember seeing anyone getting stabbed or slashed with a halberd, on the news. Are they even using those things?

mostly for show, they have sub machines guns if I remember correctly and they def don't fuck around.

Nobody reads Latin anymore.

People are just too obtuse.

Every time a bell rings, an angle gets its wings

Yeah this is funny they think everyone else infront is getting to kiss and suck his juicy fingers so they go for it also but they getting denied

It's almost like they are in some type of a brainless state of mind. Weird for that crew.

Gotta get that culty nut. Need to be able to kiss the ring so you can prove you're a better cultist than your fellow cultists

>Gotta get that culty nut. 

That is not true it was during Covid. Also, he would be wearing his mask. He absolutely didn't want ppl to kiss his ring/hands.

I looked it up. It was in March 2019, which was pre-COVID. But it was a long line and he was concerned about spreading germs.

He only lets certain people kiss his ring, these people were too old

Kiss.......his.......ring.......😂😂

Screw his ring, probably has poo poo on it

it's just weird culty celebrity worship.

Weird medieval culty celebrity worship.

Weird medieval culty cult worship.

Weird cunty celebrity worship.

That makes it evem worse because they don't even have a legit reason for trying to do that. And they see he's visibly uncomfortable and they're getting off on it. That's creepy as fuck.

You see creepy everywhere...

He doesn't want to spread germs

Kissing the Pope's ring is a traditional act that has been done for centuries but this was during covid so he was protecting his flock by denying it.

>so he was protecting his flock by denying it. Church continues perpetrating child abuses worldwide: *Pope sleeps* Random weirdos at risk of catching virus through their own stupid concious acts: *activate Wing Chun Super Hands mode*

Someone should go thru the line and instruct visitors to not do that.

I’m assuming that it’s a monkey see- monkey do situation. I don’t think the people waiting in line can fully see what’s happening. From the angle, when the person in front of them goes to kneel, it LOOKS like they’re kissing the Popes hand. so they’re just copying them, thinking that’s proper etiquette.

So you don’t know, do you? If you kiss his hands you get extra luck until next Sunday, it’s one of the magic powers of the pope, people use it to gamble at the casinos. Read the Bible sometime

We should not be sorry for the boss of the world's biggest child molesters organization imho

The ring is sacred because Jesus gave it the the first ever pope.

Uh, don't they destroy the Pope's signet upon his death? With a giant ceremonial hammer, no less. Each Pope get's their own ring.

It's payback to them for trying to do things with kids.

Another thought I had. "Way to get a taste of your own medicine"😂

I'm confused. Why are they all trying to kiss his hands when he's obviously not comfortable? Am I missing something here?

They’re trying to kiss his ring, which is a tradition he warned beforehand that he didn’t want to engage in for sanitary reasons

Still confused as to why they keep trying though. He said no to like 10 of them and the next person still tries. They act like they have Alzheimer's or something.

Would need to see the line from the people in lines perspective. Its moving pretty fast it seems there's a possibility that they aren't even aware he's pulling his hand away until it's their turn.

>! Boomers !<

Religious people are pretty famous for not respecting boundaries and pushing their beliefs on others.

Oh that makes sense.

“Kiss ‘em low… too slow! Hahahaha”

If they manage to kiss the ring and say SHAZAM, they become the new pope.

Wololo

Rogan?

This made me laugh more than it should’ve. Take my upvote sir.

I’ve been on Reddit too long. I can’t even be bothered to look up the last time this was posted and the top comment was exactly the same.

That’s because it’s 82.375% bots. Shits just on a cycle

Maybe, bots got a good sense of humor then.

Nah if they had a good sense of humor they would say aomething about people trying to blow the pope.

Shazam is slang for habemus papam?

Yes, Gay Pudding.

Habemus shazam

So what's the song called?

No result found

You didn't believe hard enough, that's your problem.

I think they turn into Shaq.

This woke up an ancient memory. I always thought that movie was a fever dream.

People think church and god are boring, devoid of all humor. Let them chuckle on this knee slapper.

I thought this is real until I read comments😭

Nothing to be ashamed of. If you're not Roman Catholic and don't know about superhero pop culture in the USA, why wouldn't it be true?

Must be hard for the Pope to smile for everyone





Another commenter somewhere said this Meatball Ron watching baby ducks get run over or something similarity horrible and I think of that shit every time.

And people say Arnie can't act.

Arnie is so good at pretending he's bad, folks don't even know! Love this dude.

I mean... that was literally the point of this particular scene, which I think he nailed, but I can't speak for any other Arnie roles.

He's pretty solid in Kindergarten Cop, and many others, imo. I could be biased, though.

thought he did a pretty good job in "Maggie" about not being a bad guy and actually doing some acting.


I’m here for only 30 minutes, then I have an autograph signing at WalMart, so let’s keep this line moving.

Sorry, no hand kisses unless you're purchasing the book.

You have to buy a wristband at the gift shop for hand kissing

Down low, too slow

😭😭😭

In Space In Your Face

This is some tradition where they try to kiss the pope’s ring and the pope doesn’t let them. It’s edging but for religion.

Half of them dont kiss the ring they kiss his hand so he pulls away

actually disgusting if you think about it, he shakes 50 different peoples hands, everyone kisses it.... ugh

Dude doesn't like sloppy fifties what a prude

They're way too old for him, DOH!

You probably dont want to hear about communion wine then.

Communion wine is so dumb. I have to sit, kneel, stand, recite poetry, sit, kneel again, stand, then stand in a line for a sip of shitty wine. I could just go get a box of wine without all the hassle. Eating a Jesus cracker put in my mouth by an old man is dope though.

The Blarney Stone has entered the chat…

I thought they were kissing their own hands lol

lolllllol

One dude straight up head-butted the hand

Maybe he was aiming for the genitals? 💀

He didn't look that young

The mission must be to retrieve the Pope's skin cells

Hashirama cells

How do you explain the holy trinity, immaculate conception, and the resurrection? All Hashirama cells

It all makes sense now

They’re trying to kiss his ring. I believe this was in [2019](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47736614.amp). It was a question of hygiene? Just before covid too

Well 200 People kissing the same spot sure isnt sanitary ever

[удалено]

I never thought about it but of course the pope needs to take a dump too from time to time. Thanks for that

A big old holy shit.

You think he's ever on the toilet, poops, says "holy shit!" then giggles to himself?

Missed opportunity if he didn't.

“Does the pope shit in the woods?”

Is a bear Catholic ?

After coming out, they magically disappear, leaving a clean bum. Perks of the job.

In the woods.

Maybe he should have had such a big old mudpie. Maybe he should have used a bigger slice of toilet paper.

This video is from 2019. He said afterwards that it was because he didn’t want to spread germs. Maybe he’d heard that covid was being released in the next 12 months and didn’t want to take any risks! Conspiracy!!!

Good bot.

But I…I’m not a bot. …am I?

Pull the plug guys, it's waking up.

WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

You pass butter

OH MY GOD

Good bot was short for good butter bottom all along. Conspiracy!!

Crap, crap, crap! HOW DO WE GET IT TO JUST LIKE THE MEMES AGAIN!?!?!

ERROR! ERROR! INTERNET OVERLOAD! REBOOTING FROM LAST VIABLE STATE... … … This video is from 2019. He said afterwards that he didn’t want to spread germs. Maybe he’d heard that Covid was being released in the next 12 months and didn’t want to take any risks! Conspiracy!!!

Good bot.

…I knew some prick would do this. The madness ends here! 😂

Does it?

There was just a video of him washing women's feet in a prison, though. And it didn't even look like he was using soap. I can't tell what's going on in this video. Are they trying to be blessed?

I think the charitable interpretation here is he's avoiding spreading germs from kisser to kisser. Washing feet without soap sounds useless, idk bout that one.

Not everyone is in the club.

That is bizarre to watch

Pope looks so disgusted

That's because he is.

It's normal to kiss the Pope's hand as a sign of respect, but Francis was trying to remain humble. I have no idea if he's still humble, but we're talking about a man who got put on house arrest by his own guards because he would sneak out of the Vatican to feed Rome's homeless when he first became Pope.

Why do they instantly try after he just refused someone, man people are disappointing

Hehe, You gotta be quicker than that 🎣

The one guy looked like he was trying to fellate the pope. I guess old habits die hard.

If they kiss the ring they get a free ride on the merry go round.

But only if they are under 16.... Im sorry, i'll see myself out

Get outta here you filthy animals.

I live in Edmonton, a few years ago I was at an intersection.. police stop everything, I'm like what's going on... big motorcade drives by, I see a little white car in the middle, I'm like, no way that's... the pope?.... sure enough, car drives by, pope is sitting shotgun, window down, arm hanging out... I nod, he nods back in passing.. that was a weird day.

I can't handle this much of cringe!

I find the kissing of the ring in general off putting because it seems more like you’re worshiping the pope and not God in that instance.

Is this some sort of fun game Ive missed?

I love how pope hide his hands but at the same time he have smile on his face. It's like he's happy to troll them

why are they still going for it? they must've seen he doesn't want it at some point?

From behind it would be pretty easy to interpret as everyone just kissing his ring. It's only really obvious from the angle we have that he's avoiding it

reminds me of the vatican museums where they scream at you to not take photos or talk in the sistine chapel and everybody takes photos and talks

why the fuck is he doing that?

I picture him going *"Too slow!"*

High five with the pope would be awesome.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thats so awkward

I swear I thought this was from a Naked Gun movie

This is fucking disgusting and sad.

The power of Christ compels you, the power of Christ compels you, the power of Christ com…. Jesus H Christ guys personal space purleeeze.

Hey, Hey, to many cameras here. Gotta go. To many trying to kiss rings and things 🤔 They weird, Bro. I'm out.

Feel bad for him and the people. They should have had someone further back in the line telling people to shake hands only.

Was waiting for someone to give the pope a good bitch slap. Disappointed.

No kisses. I'll take that money though

Psyche!!!!

Dodge 100%

Is this a COVID prevention thing or what?

Sike. Gotcha b*tch

Imagine this happens in islam

Oops! Too slow!

Imagine if one hundred of people’s kissing your hands, it is danger to they.

Y'all seen that Robin Hood Cartoon? They're trying to steal his gems 😂🐍💎

I wonder if The first person to maintain eye contact and shake his hand will become the pope

Hasta cuando los seres humanos siguen confinado en estos personajes

His trying so hard to not have that ring stolen lol

ES COMO SI FUERAN RETRASADOS ??

He needs a people handler that prepares people in advance. No saliva spreading on this hands and then sharing thart saliva with other people !

Popin’ be tough

The perfect sound track to this is Murder on the Dancefloor.

Doesn’t seem like he understands his main purpose in the catholic hierarchy……so sad!!

The guy that stayed there talking like he had something serious to talk about 😅😅😅

Sike 

Too fast bitches

[удалено]

I restrain myself from writing how lame I find this all...

To be fair, kissing the Pope's ring is EXTREMELY un-christian. Jesus himself would smack your ass to the floor for trying to kiss a Pope's ring. Jesus is famous for eliminating this behavior from the church. Do you all really go against the wishes of your own savior? In the hope he'll come back again? Becaue you really wouldn't want to him to come back. If Jesus had to come back, it would only be becaue YOU, his 'followers" fucked up his deign SO MUCH it required Devine Intervention. Get ready to see Jesus when he's angry.

So ridiculous

Gross. Gross, gross, gross. Gross, also gross, no, no, no thank you, gross, no, gross. Don’t, nah. No. Gross. Don’t, thanks, nah, gross.

First guy about to suck his dick.

That's extra-devoting yourself to the chuch, lot's of brownie points

Catholics are so wired, bending down like they're worshipping another man. He's just man, no different than you or I.

I'm not Don Ponitiff !

carrying on like the godfather, kiss mah ring I am the man ffs!...although I was thinking as they are bending so low what else would some twisted ultra religous nutjob want to kiss as its the pope and of course a god or thee god! 

Pfffffff

Imagine disrespecting your highest religious leader and still pretending you're devout

This gave me anxiety

Wtf is wrong with those idiots? Can they not see the person in front of them trying and being denied? Wow.

Bunch of blowjob enthusiasts
