Human Reaction

We are all human beings no matter what our job is. In the moment, we all react on instinct. This week there has been a lot of press on the Pope slapping a woman's hand. Being the Pope does not supersede being human. A woman grabbed his hand and would not let go. He tried to pull away but she obviously had a tight grip. His security was not quick enough to remedy the problem. His instinct kicked in and he slapped her hand to get his loose. Why is he being criticized? He is entitled to have his hand back, even if his position as Pope calls for understanding and compassion. She was wrong and he was right. Leave the man alone.
