A post about the Pope kissing a man with boils and some mean responses but some good ones as well.

I certainly have my issues with the RCC church, I left it at 18 years old. I do however like this new Pope and have high hopes for him.

The healing being done is to his soul.

1. This new pope is looking like the best I've seen in my 50+ years.

A man of the people, of the downtrodden, and willing to dispense with many of the bullshit formalities that have characterized the roman catholic church.

Though I did enjoy mass in Latin.

3. I like him as well. Things move slowly in the RCC and people want change right away.

2. There certainly are some boils being pricked in that thread.

A healthy enterprise.

4. There were a lot of hurtful things said there.

Can not say I am surprised.

5. What a beautiful example of compassion for all humanity.

I'm sure that man has suffered in body and soul, likely for many years.
I hope he gets lasting comfort from the touch of our dear pope Francis.
