Pope Francis apologised Wednesday for his widely-viewed slap of a woman who had grabbed his hand as he greeted Catholic faithful on New Year’s Eve.

The image of Francis slapping his way free from the clutches of the admirer was an instant hit on social media.

A personal apology followed.

“We lose patience many times,” Francis confessed.

“It happens to me too. I apologise for the bad example given yesterday,” the head of the Catholic church said before celebrating Mass at the Vatican.


Twitter enthusiasts commented with abandon on the pontiff’s prompt riposte to the woman.

Francis had greeted children before the Nativity scene on Saint Peter’s square and was turning away when the woman who had crossed herself then cried out something, pulled on his hand and almost caused him to fall.

The 83-year-old pope grimaced before managing to break free by slapping her hand twice.

He continued his tour, walking with some difficulty while maintaining a slightly greater distance from visitors, and gradually relaxed again as he came into contact with other children.

If it was Donald Trump that did this the pope would have called for his resignation ...I think this is the worst pope in recent history , very partisan and dark

He has nothing to apologize for. She 'manhandled' him

The expired evening newspaper has finally regained her voice.

The woman overstepped boundaries.

But the Pope's apology reflects true leadership.

I have constantly reiterated the fact that these fools in robs are the major problems of the world.

Yea, the woman went too far and the pope's reaction is just of human.

The woman would have felt offended though, but I think it will be mainly because of the media hype.

Meanwhile BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO Slapped a Church Member right before the congregants and his BLIND FOLLOWERS including SANS who worship in his tabernacle defended him outrightly with every alacrity..

I'm not surprised at the POPE'S PLEA for forgiveness after all, it's a feature of the WHITES...

Ok

The way the woman dragged the Pope back was very wrong.

What choice does he have.

Francis don turn embarrassment to those calling him Father
