My eyes filled up when I saw the photo Easter Sunday. How wonderful a simple kindness can be..and even more so by our Pope.

As far as encounters go....
What are the odds of meeting your favorite movie star? shaking his hand?
What are the odds of meeting the President of the United States? (whether you like him or not) shaking his hand?
All that pales in comparrison to being kissed by the Pope.

Wouldn’t it be great if th child were cured.
I am sure there would still be some doubters, but we need a sign, and that would be a good one.

I was wondering....
...and I am not being funny or mocking...
But how is this child perceived now? I mean, is this the ‘ultimate blessing’ apart from being touched by the hand of God Himself?
Would people consider this child ‘special’ now and want to touch him? Really, I am not being sarcastic.

My daughter sent me that YouTube clip. Dominick’s mother, Christiana, was a high school classmate of my daughter. They went to Lincoln High School in Buenos Aires. Christiana has a twin sister. I emailed my daughter back, telling her that my screen got very blurry; she said hers did as well.

No.
And no offense taken.

Wouldnt it be great if the child were cured.I said to a friend a week ago, "I would not be at all surprised to see a miracle one of these days when Pope Francis blesses the sick in the square outside St. Peter's."

He’s just a man, not God. I might say he himself would not like the kind of attention and big deal people are making over him.

No, Catholics would not look upon this boy as now having had any special attributes resulting from the encounter with the pope. That would not fit into our belief system.
Why the story of this embrace is significant, I think, is that it highlights our new pope’s gracious way of reaching out to people on a very real human level.

Would people consider this child special now and want to touch him? Really, I am not being sarcastic. Some people might, but it would be solely a personality trait of theirs and not have anything to do with being a Catholic or Catholic teaching, as seems to be implied by your post.

Try explaining your obvious bigotry. It will be more appropriate than trying to insult me. Either that or put some teeth in your insults.
