Pope Francis yelled the the crowd using Spanish shouting 'Don't be selfish, don't be selfish'
"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." John 17:11 (KJV)
The Vatican says that Pope Francis is the stand-in for Jesus Christ in this world, and his absolute representative. And like Jesus did in the Bible, the Pope allows people to worship him by
screaming, crying, weeping, and desperate to touch him because they think it will give them a "blessing". Last year Congressman Bob Brady
actually stole a partially-drank glass of the Pope's water and gave it to his close friends and family members to drink from. Crazy, right? Things in Mexico got equally crazy when the crowd attempted to pull the "holy father" down onto their level for a "blessing". What they got was a Pope Francis freakout, complete with crazy eyes and bulging neck veins.
What would Jesus have done in this situation?
The Pope has shown a rare sign of anger during his trip to Mexico
after an eager crowd tugged his arms and caused him to topple over. Francis was at a stadium in the western city of Morella on Tuesday greeting fans at an open air mass for young people.
However, when one eager person pulled at his robe, it caused him to crash down into a wheelchair-bound man. And although the Pontiff recovered and kissed the man on the head, he did not hide his irritation.
The head of the Catholic Church yelled: 'No seas egoísta. Qué te pasó, no seas egoísta', which translates to 'Don't be selfish, don't be selfish.'
INTERESTING NOTE: If you will read the Bible verse at the top of this article, you will see Jesus using the title 'Holy Father' when He is talking with His Father, the God of Abraham. So why, I wonder, is the Catholic Pope also called 'Holy Father' when it is a Name of God alone?
Reading this article may clear that up for you....
