New pictures of Pope Francis embracing and comforting a severely disfigured man have gone viral on the internet.

Last Wednesday, the leader of the world’s 1.3billion Catholics was greeting pilgrims following his weekly public audience when the man covered in neuronal tumors approached him, asking for a blessing.
The man suffers from a rare and painful disease called neurofibromatosis, which causes boils, impaired vision and in some cases cancer.
Patients suffering from the ailment, which is genetic and not contagious - are often shunned by society because of their appearance.

People were amazed when Pope Francis instead, kissed the man on the face and blessed him with the sign of the cross.
He was photographed with his eyes tightly shut in prayer for the man.

How many pastors of today will agree to touch a man with glaring disease on his body. Our perfume wearing pastors will rather distribute handkerchiefs and anointing oil.

yes oh you are right jare.. his is just a kindhearted man

Was the man healed? I didn't see that in the news.

Must he be healed immediately. We should commend the gesture and not whether or not he was healed.

Afam4eva:

When your book say you can do greater miracles than christ
, an instant healing to a neurofibromatosis patient is not a big deal

Afam4eva: We should commend the gesture and not whether or not he was healed.

What was the popes motive in the first place? A gimmick to make the sheep commend his gesture?

The damn sickness is genetic, not fair God save us

Afam4eva:

hmmmm his gesture first bro

God created everything; including the gene factor responsible for that condition. Question is, why?

big question that we have to find an answer to man

Saw d footage on tv, I felt like "wow"

Can I even do this? It requires special grace to what this Pope does.

*saying hail Mary + the Lord's prayer for the Pope's intention*

Is he healed? Is not by empty touching.

At least they cure the sick.

Good question . Godliness is not by laying empty hand on empty head. It's by demonstration of power of christ through healing . Anybody can touch . Nurses of better in dressing wounds

Did pope heal the man or it's just show of piety. If that's the case it's empty publicity . The pastors you are condemning and criticizing are busy healing sick people. Before you criticise or condemn others you should have something better to offer.

God cures the sick and not the pastors. Is the gesture that's most important to me. This is definition of selflessness and love for the common man. The Pastors in Nigeria are only interested in fleecing the poor of the poor on the alter of private jet and neglecting the tenets of Christianity which includes love.

I dear pastor adeboye to touch a leprocy patient

Afam4eva:

Firstly a pastor or christian can heal the sick or cast out devils . It's a command Ftom God.

See the instruction Jesus gave.

Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:freely ye have received, freely give.

Did the pope cast out the devil ?

Bring the man over to Nigeria and see how the devils get cast out by the ministers you are criticizing .

Is the gesture that's most important to me. This is definition of selflessness and love for the common man.

That's catholic style . Laying empty hands on empty head it's not bible.

Besides pastors do lay hands on sick . Except if they are many. You heal the sick by laying hands and you drive out devils by command . It's not every sick case that requires hand laying . Jesus didn't lay hands on every body.

I don't have any problem if you pope is busy taking photos with leepers , that's his business . But don't use is to judge others because that's not Jesus command . HEAL THE SICK , CAST OUT DEVILS.

Does your pope fly commercial plane? They even have to custom build a special bullet proof car for him, what's the name again? Popecade or something . Whatever.

I don't have problem with your rejoicing over public photograph . It's good pope packaging . But if you want to criticise others by using your photograph as standard for Christianity Think twice . Ministers do touch when such need arise but it's a touch for cure.

Empty bragging by those who stage fake healing shows.
We know better, a man who is sick has finnally been tagged demon possesed.
