Just what the "relevant" world needs, is for the QoE to order someone to kneel (like Ronald Reagan), and have them not do it. I'll never be asked, so it's a moot point, either way. Tim Minchin said it best- "Fuck the Pope, fuck the motherfucking motherfucker".
I would forever be exiled from my home if I got an audience with the pope and didn't act like it was some kind of blessing.
I wouldn't bow, and would ask him where he got his dress?
