Yes, Padraig I agree with you. I too feel the same about shaking hands, it can be a little awkward, but I would never refuse. To think that the Holy Father would refuse a gesture of respect from the faithful is incomprehensible to me. I feel so disappointed with his behavior I am always searching for a reason to justify it. He does seem emotionally immature, I suppose that explains the comparison I made with my grandson. As much as I hate to admit it, the facial expressions he wears in some of his photos come across as scary, and not befitting for our Pope. I will say one thing, PF has the ability to keep us on the edge of our seats. You never know what's coming next.
Yes, but being kept on the edge of our seats is not a good symptom of a healthy relationship. Being kept on the edge of the seat is fine while while eating popcorn , watching a horror movie. But its no way to find yourself with a Spiritual Father.
You made a very good point I hadent thought of. I have to think about this. God bless...talk to you later.
