I am sorry but this appears to be a planned stunt. Okay I understand rambunctious children I am the father of 7, but where oh where are the parents of this child. I understand the initial running up and saying hello even the playful attention both the Pope and the child exchange; but it would have taken a full squadron of Swiss Guard to hold me back from retrieving my son if he was interfering that much in an event like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd why is it posted in these short repeating clips?
ReplyDeleteNo, if that were my child I'd be hiding and pretending I didn't know him!! Perhaps that's what his parents are doing. (Just kidding everyone!) God bless this child and our Holy Father Francis!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the parents? Rebellious behavior is not cute. CONTROL YOUR KIDS!!!
ReplyDeleteRebellious? Are you kidding?? He's just a cute kid doing what cute kids do.
ReplyDeleteMore "sour faced saints" on the Catholic blogs. Yes, Catholics, let's all "control" our children.
ReplyDeleteI think this was planned, it was too easy.
