@pulsewyre: Video of Pope Leo XIV Passing Black Priest in France Sparks Online Racism Claims A brief moment involving Pope Leo XIV during his visit to St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Metz, France, has sparked claims online that he deliberately ignored a Black priest and refused to shake his hand. However, the short clip does not establish why the Pope changed direction at that moment. French broadcaster TF1 reviewed the wider footage and reported that a member of the Pope’s protocol team directed him toward other officials. The full footage also shows Pope Leo greeting other people, including Black attendees, during his arrival. Pope Leo XIV was in Metz on September 28 as part of his four day apostolic visit to France, where he celebrated Mass at St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The moment has raised questions online, but the available footage alone does not establish that the interaction was motivated by race. What do you think? Should short viral clips be viewed with more context before conclusions are drawn? Source: TF1 Info and Vatican #PopeLeoXIV #France #pulsewyre

hii guys I just wanna say that in this clip, it's cropped so you can't see it, but there is another priest who walked behind the pope right before he turns around and says to the pope that he must shake hands with the officials (he was supposed to do this before he started shaking other hands)! also in the same sequence he shakes the African American priest! please do not jump to conclusions based off a short and edited clip!

Giovanni Di Mineo :
Stava girandosi per cambiare direzione e chi ha rallentato il video vuol far capire altre cose che non possono essere nelle intenzioni di Papa Leone, perché lui è molto umile. Io dico a questo punto nessun uomo è superiore ad un altro, ma nemmeno una religione o un credobè superiore a un altro. Ognuno preghi e si salvi col credi che ha conosciuto senza mettere a confronto nulla.

no... their religion is ALL BULLSHIT... more fool anyone - especially black people for believing and enhancing their bullshit.
Religion's promise enslaves you while they live their heaven here and now, at the believer's expense.
