re: #29 Guanxi88

A guess? Maybe His Holiness doesn’t speak or understand frothing-at-the-mouth Arabic?

Read the comment I was responding to:

Word is that the Pope didn’t know what the guy had said, but walked out as soon as it was clear that he had been unscheduled and abusing the forum to engage in an anti-Israel rant.

I don’t understand how this explains the handshake, although quod said:

That’d explain the handshake which must’ve happened when the guy wrapped up his “contribution”.

The pope shook hands and walked out. I understand the walking out, but not the shaking hands.
