No offence,bt its because dis is not islam, in christianity men and women r equal bfor God,and d pope jst proved it.

The Pope's simplicity is innate and not pretense, he was like this before he became Pope. However, he never knew he was going to be Pope someday. We should always remember that humility is a virtue that unites everyone together. Lets put aside our individuals pride and respect one another.

Humility...

ganase2: The Pope who is the leader of the world's 1.2 billion-strong Catholic community, protocol usually dictates that visitors bow to him when they meet him at the Vatican but the Pope has once again shown his willingness to break with tradition by bowing to Muslim royal Queen Rania of Jordan as a Vatican official said the new Pope Francis 'is not interested in protocol'

'Francis behaves as he did before he became pope and is not interested in protocol', a senior Vatican official told Journalist.

Up until the 19th century, those meeting the pope stoop to kiss his slippers and, to this day, the tradition remains that all visitors, including women, bow to him, the official said.

He even took a "selfie" picture with young teenage girls to show that he is well in tune with modern life
The pope has already amassed more than three million followers on the social networking site Twitter, with his latest picture believed to be the first ever 'papal selfie'.

Pope Francis has made a concerted effort to understand and integrate with worldwide youth since he succeeded Pope Benedict XVI as he has already charmed the masses with his informal style, simplicity and sense of humour.
He has also being known to personally call people up who have written to him asking for prayers or told him of personal tragedy.

What a good way to go by a leader with simplicity and humility

Humility my friend..

taiocol: but why will a man. Pope in that matter bow 2 a woman

Hun!the pope that bowed is not complaining neither the queen....but,what i think is wrong with this gesture is that,the queen failed to reciprocate.Hope my dear christian and Muslim sisters can learn from this.This gesture by the pope speaks volume,in the family and above all between lovers.Thumbs up for pope Francis.

False! no source to your lies

HYPOCRISY OR IGNORANCE? When Tinubu bowed to Buhari a former head of state, he was insulted; when Pope (world christain leader) bows to a woman- it is called Humility!!!

nneh1: For God's sake why is it that all the countries that felt God in the past are muslims. Eygpt,damascus,jordan etc

After the death of Jesus Christ and persecution of Churches began by the non-christian, christians were forced to scatter around the world and most of the scattered christians began evangelism with serious vigor and zeal. I believe places in the middle east( Egypt, Jordan among others) were hot beds for evangelism at that period and civilization was much more pronounced in places like Athens, Greeks where information was easily moved round and people were more open to receive other people's view . To put it mildly, Middle East has always had a strong views of things (Middle East Uprising is an example), very unopen and extreme and such position can be conquered through force ORDINARILY SPEAKING. Though many of them were pagans at that times, It took series of wars to convert them to islam. Such methods were not the way of early christians and neither is it biblical.

And she refused to bow to a man older than her. So stupid of her

Shame on Jordan. As the monarch of a Muslim country, how could they waste time meeting the leaders of the idolaters? What example are they setting to the Muslims of their country? SMH

Muslims, seek only to be ruled by believing Muslims, not by nominal ones who would meet an idolater spreading falsehood about God all over the world!

speak of things you know not things you think. Islam advocates HUMILITY.

Could you please tell the religion of your Creator, the God Almighty?
Is it Christianity, Islam or otherwise?
Does every child born even at this second chose the faith or religion of his family?
Why are human beings still born in so-called Christian, Islam and other religious nations?
God is above all these, human division.
And Africans should think deeply and practise the religion they want but to remember the Infinite Spirit of God is Love that transcends...
All the great prophets and Christ came with a message of love but are we practising thet greatest open secret?

Babiloko: patiently waitin 4 my endtime teammates

Yea, these are the true signs of the end... Dresses in purple around, sits within 7 hills.
Come Jesus come and take your saints away. I await your return desperately.
