Pope Reacts Angrily After Woman Grabbed His Hand

The social media space went into a frenzy after videos emerged of Pope Francis slapping a woman’s hand to free himself from her unexpected grip.

The Pope was greeting children before the Nativity scene at the Saint Peter’s Square on Tuesday night when a female worshipper from the crowd grabbed his hand and almost caused him to fall.

The 83-year-old head of the Catholic church had to slap the woman’s hand twice before he could free himself.

The action obviously unsettled the Pope who had to maintain a slightly greater distance from visitors as he continued his tour before he gradually relaxed again as he came into contact with other children.
