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

Seems the speaker pulled the same stunt when JP2 visited. No wonder he wasn’t on the programme - just a pity the authorities let him attend at all.
