Showtime: Francis Kneels To Kiss Feet Of South Sudan Muslim Politicians
Pope Francis received on April 11 the participants of a two-day retreat at the Vatican which involved civil and ecclesiastical authorities of South Sudan. During the audience Francis knelt down and kissed the feet of two Muslim men officials and one woman.
There was a look of shock on the faces of the more than 20 dignitaries in the room as Francis dropped to his knees in front of the individuals and kissed their feet. The prelates who were along side of him struggled to lift him to his feet each time. He looked as though he had overexerted himself in dropping to his knees when he stood up.
His actions were all the more shocking to all who witnessed his behavior because he is notorious for not genuflecting or kneeling in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed for adoration.
Sudan is Muslim. South Sudan is Christian and seceeded after years of religious and ethnic persecution. Alas, since it got independence there has been a major civil war. I am not sure of the religion of those whose feet he kissed.
He recently crossed the line and now he is descending.
This pope becomes more of an embarrassment each week. His behavior is indeed abnormal. We can’t kiss his ring, but he kisses the feet of men responsible for genocide? I think the pope is losing his mind
Unbelievable! PF must be losing his mind! This is horrible to watch!
Francis the Merciful needs our prayers more than ever!!!!
This was outlandish. It was disappointing to see EWTN’s soi-disant “Papal Posse” trying to put a positive spin on this episode earlier this evening. Huge mistake at the very least.
