*After a zealous female worshiper yanked his arm waaay too hard, Pope Francis has apologized and admits he “lost patience” after slapping her hand (and giving her a deserved scolding) as he later used a Vatican speech to call for an end to violence against women
The incident happened in Vatican City on Tuesday, as he was ready to ring in the new year with a line of adoring fans and worshippers — many of whom he was happily greeting and shaking hands with along his route. It was all going great, up to the point the woman got a little too aggressive with her hand and his.
Check it out … it’s a pretty surreal scene, especially seeing how PF handles it. Dude wasn’t havin’ it!
You see Francis going down the line — 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 of time and when his handlers finally step in, she releases him. Looks like his Holiness wasn’t too pleased either … walking away with a sour look on his face ?

This evening, whilst on his way to pray before the Christmas crib in St. Peter’s Square, a child fell from the barriers on to the floor by Pope Francis’ feet. The Pope made sure he was alright and gave him a rosary. Pope Francis at his very best. pic.twitter.com/sS5GUoTy7c

And as TMZ so eloquently (not!) points out … “you can fall for the Pope, but don’t try to make him fall for you. He’ll get pissed.”
