Tense moment as parishioner almost pulls Pope Francis over while trying to greet him; Pope says, 'Do not be selfish' parishioner almost pulls Pope Francis; Pope says, 'Do not be selfish' For a pope known for enjoying affectionate gestures from his flock, it was a familiar scene Tuesday afternoon in Morelia as he waded through a throng of youngsters, touching hands, kissing children and exchanging greetings. But some people apparently took it too far, and the pope didn’t like it. As he reached down to kiss a disabled girl, several people jostled the pope while trying — too aggressively, apparently — to touch his robe. Moments later, someone else appeared to try and pull him into the crowd. The pope was knocked off balance, and security guards had to help him straighten up. Perhaps it was the accumulated stress and travel of a long trip, but the pope finally seemed to have had enough, flashing an angry look and raising his voice in a moment captured on video.
