Pope Francis chuckles as boy climbs on stage and interrupts speech

A boy broke through security, clambered on to the stage and pulled the sleeve of a Swiss guard on the podium metres from the pontiff while he was speaking in the Vatican audience hall.

'Leave him, leave him to play here,' the pope said as the child, who he said was speech-impaired, rolled around in front of him on the carpet. As the weekly audience continued, the child was allowed to keep roaming around the podium.

[@RazgrizWing]

Religion is ultimately the worship of power, humble is not exactly something you think of when its comes to power. The rhetoric of the text leads inherently to the worship of power while directly contradicting the teachings of humbleness, and acceptance. Thus when a pope comes along that is humble, that is accepting, the pope will be viewed as the devil, because that pope will not be powerful.
