Mea Culpa
Pope Francis has done the right thing with his apology for slapping a women's hand when she grabbed his. He might be saintly but he has limits, and he transgressed one when he became impatient with the tourist. One could defend his action because the woman was over the line, but the Pope's reaction was out of order as well. It was a human moment that defines a person, and the Pope didn't handle it well. So, he has said he is sorry. That was important too. He understands he needs forgiveness as much as anyone. Chances are he won't lose his temper again, but if he does, that will be telling.
