Pope Francis was almost held back in 2019 by an overzealous fan, who grabbed a hold of him and wouldnât let go ⊠that is, until Francis gave her a swat and a scolding.
The Pontiff was down in Vatican City Tuesday, ready to ring in the new year with a line of adoring fans and worshippers â many of whom he was happily greeting and shaking hands with along his route. It was all going great, up to the point some woman got handsy.
Check it out ⊠itâs a pretty surreal scene, especially seeing how PF handles it. Kinda feisty!
You see Francis going down the line â and as he approaches the grabber, she actually ramps up by doing a crucifix blessing on herself in anticipation of making contact. Sure enough, he ends up shaking her hand, but she clamps on to his arm and yanks him back.
It definitely took the Pope by surprise, and not in a good way either. He slaps her hand a couple time and when his handlers finally step in, she releases him. Looks like his Holiness wasnât too pleased either ⊠walking away with a stern look on his face đĄ
This evening, whilst on his way to pray before the Christmas crib in St. Peterâs Square, a child fell from the barriers on to the floor by Pope Francisâ feet. The Pope made sure he was alright and gave him a rosary. Pope Francis at his very best. pic.twitter.com/sS5GUoTy7c

Oh, and that wasnât the only incident along the guard rails either. Apparently, some kid fell right in front of the Pope as he was walking along, and Francis was quick to attend to him and give him a pat on the head once he realized he was alright.
Take note, folks ⊠you can fall for the Pope, but donât try to make him fall for you. Heâll get pissed.
