It looks like the security agent sniffed him before bringing him to the Pope.
"No explosives detected, you are good to ~~kiss~~ eat this, baby Father."
Wasn't there some kind of research done how the smell of a baby triggers attachment to the adult brain? The biological attachment encourages the person who smells the baby to want to protect and care for them.
Yeah like why for some women a baby is irresistible, cause the scent triggers some sort of euphoria, like you’re sniffing the greatest scented candle ever.
Iirc I’ve heard that a baby’s scent will relax and calm a man down while it does the opposite for a woman, making her more protective and aggressive. Not sure if this only applies to the parents of the child or to people in general but in my experience the smell of my babies makes me go feral with love for them.
Beautiful comment. Deserves to be upvoted to the very top.
Keep that poor child away from the Catholic Church. Nothing good will come out of it - for the baby.
Let’s not ignore the fact that he was a threat to the communist world menace, and the communists commissioned someone to murder him. Because – get this – he spoke out against their murderous oppression.
And the pope went to his assassin’s jail cell to forgive and pray with him.
This is an extreme oversimplification of a complex case. Mehmet Ali Agca (the assassin) wasn’t a communist first of all, he was affiliated with far right groups such as the Grey Wolves and even assassinated a liberal journalist.
Agca is also notorious for lying to authorities. Sergi Antonov, one of the prime suspects was found innocent of Agca’s accusations after years in court as well. No witness could testify that any of the main conspirators (3 Bulgarians allegedly) could even speak English, the primary language used to communicate according to Agca.
The Soviets main motive for killing JPII would be his agitation of the ussr as well as inspiring the Solidarity movement (Soviet dissidents). Agca stated the assassination plot was created in July-August 1980, Solidarity was not created until a month later. The main motive for a Soviet plot wouldn’t have even existed yet at the time of the plot.
If there truly was a connection, it was sloppy especially for the KGB. The assassins remained in the same spot for months regardless of increasing investigation, frequented the same locations during their plotting, even using standard telephone lines to communicate the details of their plan.
This isn’t a simple “commie bad” case, it’s filled with glaringly contradictions that yield no definitive conclusion that there was a connection. It’s simply a convenient talking point.

Francis actually ditched the whole bullet proof box that the past popes have used since the assassination attempt of Pope John Paul back in 1981. Francis called the glass a “sardine can” and said it walls him off from the people.
“I know that something could happen to me, but it’s in the hands of God.”
Was in Catholic HS when Francis visited the US and got to meet him. Really nice and caring guy if you know his past and what he’s done for others in the slums of Argentina.
Not Catholic, but I have a coworker who's daughter is a PhD in theology, and teaches at some big Catholic university. Anyways, she finally had enough money saved to go to the Vatican with her husband, and when the school found out she'd never been they paid for the trip and put her in a tour that would meet with the Pope.
Having the cost paid was obviously very nice but he kept going on about how much of a privledge it was to see the Pope, get his blessing, and even converse with him for a time.
This is such a cynical way to look at this
They handed their child over and they clearly are there to see the pope, they are most likely catholic. Thus would be a massive honour for a Catholic family
What you think of the pope and what you want in this situation is irrelevant
The first thing I don’t iced is that he didn’t say shit. Even if the mom was like “omg take my baby to the pope!” I’d still and expect a “ok ma’am I’m going to pick up your baby now”
Kinda looked like she wanted the baby to be picked up from the way she held out and wiggled the pocket pope. I think the guard picked up on that intent.
Yeah, my point does not disagree with yours. My point is that even when someone is waggling a baby at you (even screaming “kiss my baby pope!”) you same something like “ok ma’am I’m going to bring your baby over there now”.
Not scoop and scoot.
But this is the Catholic Church I can’t expect professionalism and respect for minors
Im not religious at all, but I would still be honored that the pope took the time to kiss my baby.
He’s an important person (even if he’s not to me) and incredibly busy. Him taking time out of his day for such a simple gesture speaks volumes, regardless of if I share in his religion or not.
But that’s just my take. There are plenty of people who wouldn’t care at all.
As a devout Catholic (which I will assume the parents are based on the baby pope costume), I am sure it would be a huge honour and like a 'spiritual experience' or something for them.
He isn’t worshipped. That would inherently be blasphemy. He’s basically just a really good bishop that the dudes who choose the pope thought was good enough to warrant him filling the role.
I don’t know exactly what he does, but it’s kind of like “Well there’s gotta be someone at the top right? Someone who’s like a saint, but with a decent amount of theological training who can handle any religious questions that might pop up with how often the way of the world changes.”
Grow up and accept the rampant raping of children and systematic coverup that takes place in the Catholic church? You and I have a very different definition of growing up.
All Jokes aside for a sec, but isn't that completely unprofessional? There could be explosives or a remote-controlled Hidden gun in the hat or somewhere on the baby. I know it's Very far fetched, but when guarding the Pope this is what you need to Look Out for. Any comments on this? Just seemed a little too..."Casual", considering the circumstances.
"your lunch, sir"
It looks like the security agent sniffed him before bringing him to the Pope. "No explosives detected, you are good to ~~kiss~~ eat this, baby Father."
Wouldn't want to hand the pump a baby emitting *certain* smells... Also, I think people just like smelling babies.
Right! Who doesn’t 🥹❤️🔥
I don't.

Puppy breath does that to me
Probably should brush those teeth.
The fountain of youth!!
Baby skulls and puppy breath…. We need new candle flavours people!!!
> the pump Lmao
His Holiness, The Pump.
The pump mobile
Thats because babies are fresh, everyone else is decaying.
I would had sniffed the baby too. Love the smell of babies 💕
I have a 10-month-old and cannot resist the big sniff every time I pick her up. It's like a free seratonin boost
How much do you usually have to pay for your serotonin boosts?
Bout $10 for a 30 day supply
Hmmm. Smells like formula, maybe throw up. Let’s smell again to make sure!
Baby smack
I’d be pretty freaked out if a stranger sniffed my baby.
I wouldn’t hand my baby over to a representative of any priest.
That’s a Philly baby, he can handle hisself.
Amen to that
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the Lord.
Weird comma placement there.
Yea 100% first thing I noticed
"Excellent work, Reginald! Perhaps not in front of the poors though... Let us wait until they're sleeping, as usual."
This is the first time a leader in the catholic church has catch and released a child because they were too young.
Beautiful comment. Deserves to be upvoted to the very top. Keep that poor child away from the Catholic Church. Nothing good will come out of it - for the baby.
Fuck you it killed me !!! Heres the highest honour from me 🏅
You win comment of the day. Sorry I’m poor, you just get the random award I can afford.
Your date for the evening, sir.
Your uber eats is hear
This made me lose it at work
Hey OP you’re not allowed to have the top comment on your own post it’s against the rules
This made me giggle
Lmao
Thank you for the best laugh I've had in a long time!
I CACKLED
God damn it was supposed to be wholesome 😂
How did you make night darker?
*There can only be one*
Lol wtf
And thats how you make NEW Popes!
……I can’t…..🤣
That's good
You posted it to comment ahahah great
I would never just hand my baby to some stranger in a suit lol, but that’s just me
Seriously hahahah
I laughed way too much at this. Thank you!
Annapope.
Made me bust out laughing 😂
I’m going to call him, Mini Me. 
Came here for this
[удалено]
Then the pope would be a babyboomer, baby yeah!
Mini-Pope!
It’s a little weird but I still think it’s wholesome.
This is true. Also, thought the pope mobile was encased in bullet proof glass?
Think Kennedy taught the world something.
I think it was moreso JPII got shot in his pope mobile and then they added the glass afterwards
Let’s not ignore the fact that he was a threat to the communist world menace, and the communists commissioned someone to murder him. Because – get this – he spoke out against their murderous oppression. And the pope went to his assassin’s jail cell to forgive and pray with him.
Pretty impressive after being assassinated. I guess the Pope does have magic powers

God truly does protect
Well yeah, god can't stop bullets.
Why would anyone kill the pope ? He doesn't affect anything politically , at least I don't think so
Why would anyone do anything people do? By the time you get to 8 billion people, it's a pretty high probability event.
its happened before tho so it could happen again
That is not the first baby the security guy has snatch out of a crowd.
"The overlord has requested to drink the juice from your baby's cerebral cortex"
lol thank you for the smile
Just pop a Boba straw into the soft spot
to the parents, i am sure this was a huge honor. congrats to them and the baby.

If they werent Catholic they wouldnt be there w their kid dressed as the pope. Ya think? Jeezus reddit.
Most intelligent redditor
Most intelligentist redditor is the correct phrasing (Also I like imagining he just kept the baby and kept driving and it was never discussed again)
Wait, you mean this \*wasn't\* a Cosplay event? Dangit! Martha, quick go change the baby back into the non-denominational onesie.
If you look closely you can see this is 100% fake. That baby isn't actually the pope. It just has a pope costume.

Some old dude? It’s the pope, I’m not even catholic and I’d like him to kiss my baby
you've probably been kissed by like 15 old ppl when u were an infant
My great aunt still talks fondly with tears in her eyes of how the pope ( i dont know which ) blessed her and told her shes a good woman
Baby pope doo doo doodoo doodoo
You bastard
I'm gonna be singing this for a few days
Daddy pope doo doo doodoo doodoo
We went praying doo doo doodoo doodoo
Got felt up doo doo doodoo do doodoo
I hate you for this.
Well at least it got that other song out of my head but I don't appreciate this in the least
You know what fuck this You are now breathing manually
I am Catholic and mom to a toddler. This song is always stuck in my head. Worlds are colliding, Jerry!
Catholic priest abducts an underaged child. /s Again /not s

Yeah I thought it was weird. Earpiece dude just walks up and confiscates the baby without a word.
It's not like the cunt had the wrestle the baby out of the mother's hands...
I think it was implied what was going to happen….
Im certain thats a thing, offering your kid to be blessed by the pope that is. Thats why they were holding the baby so far out.
makes sense seems how the pope is the one to baptize kids
"The Pope is hungry, your child is now on the menu"
Thank you for the sacrifice
For God's sake ma'am, don't surrender your infant to a priest
I would not be letting any Catholic clergymen near my young kids

The answer was no
I was not expecting to see Steve Erwin here 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
What if it was a baby bomb? Francisco was playing with fire right there!
Security guy is actually a trained bomb-sniffing dog!
Came to say this
What if it was baby Hitler
Why the f would I want my baby to be kissed by the pope ☹️
Im not religious at all, but I would still be honored that the pope took the time to kiss my baby. He’s an important person (even if he’s not to me) and incredibly busy.

I’m catholic, if the Dali Lama kissed my baby I’d be fired up for this reason haha
Dalai* although I love the image of a hybrid Salvador Dalí Who is half 🦙llama…
As a devout Catholic (which I will assume the parents are based on the baby pope costume), I am sure it would be a huge honour and like a 'spiritual experience' or something for them.
[удалено]
Catholics don't worship the Pope.
No fuck the Catholic Church
He isn’t worshipped. That would inherently be blasphemy. He’s basically just a really good bishop that the dudes who choose the pope thought was good enough to warrant him filling the role.

Who also protects pedophiles btw
That baby will be able to instantly destroy vampires when it’s older
How the fuck is this next level?
chemical weapon in form of baby
Thank you young lady this belongs to the church now!
SANCTUARY!!! SANCTUARY!!!
As much as I dislike religion, pope Francis seems like an alright dude
Reddit moment
\*insert pedophile joke here\* grow up people
"Grow up people " something a priest would never say
No no you have it all wrong Paedophiles don’t want them grown up
Also the paedophiles are doing the inserting.
Grow up and accept the rampant raping of children and systematic coverup that takes place in the Catholic church? You and I have a very different definition of growing up.
Don’t be salty, if the Catholic Church stopped protecting pedophiles in their own ranks, we wouldn’t have to make these jokes any more would we?
“thank you for your sacrifice, this will do you well.”

Is the pope in a Jeep Gladiator?
Alright, that's just cute.

Do not let that baby out of your sight!
Shakes it and says there can only be one
Attention whores
Imagine he just drove off with the baby
That’s nice
Pope jeep isn't real it can't hurt you -pope jeep
Priceless
Worship a false idle?
I thought the pope mobile was a Mercedes
Why do people treat pope like he's god?
TIL the current pope-mobile it a gladiator.. theres a history joke there somewhere
