VATICAN CITY - - To kiss the ring on the pope’s hand or not to - that is the question.
The footage went viral and the pope’s refusal quickly entered what are known as the Catholic cultural wars between conservatives and progressives. Rorate Caeli, a website read by Catholic traditionalists, Tweeted: “Francis, If you don’t want to be the Vicar of Christ, then get out of there!” “It’s high time kissing bishops’ rings disappears altogether. It’s just ridiculous and has nothing to do with tradition. It’s an import from monarchies. Much of the pomp around bishops should be ditched,” Tweeted Jesuit priest Russell Pollitt.
