On Tuesday, December 31, 2019 during a browsing Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square, a believer pulled his hand. A woman grabbed the hand of the Pope and pulled him toward her. Dissatisfied, Pope cried the woman and struck her hand to release. A little later, Pope apologized because he lost his patience: 'Many times we lose our patience. It happened to me. I apologize for the bad example I set.'.
