History Photographed on Instagram: "In 2019, Pope Francis slapped a woman's hand in St. Peter's Square after she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward her. ⁠ ⁠ The incident occurred on New Year's Eve as the pope was greeting pilgrims near the Vatican's Nativity scene.⁠ ⁠ Just over a week later, Pope Francis met and shook hands with the woman at his general audience, where photos show the two smiling together.⁠ ⁠ Credit: @rtenews"
