Considering that Pope Francis is going around Canada meeting people, I was wondering what would you as unbelievers (either atheist or member of some religion that is not Catholicism) do if you found yourself in a room with the Pope?
Would you not want to be rude so you would follow the protocol which means bow to him and kiss his ring? Or would you just shake his hand and smile at him? Or would you just ignore him and go out of the room? Or would you tell him to go fuck himself?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
