The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, is in the news again and this time, it\u2019s not for slapping a pilgrim.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis, just a week after he was filmed slapping the hands of a woman who grabbed his hands has shown the world how loving he can also be.<\/p>\n

The pontiff kissed a nun on the cheek, after jokingly asking her if she won\u2019t bite him, seemingly in reference to the incident where his hand was grabbed by a supposed fan last week.<\/p>\n

Walking through a large hall on Wednesday before his weekly General Audience, a nun gestured to the pope asking for a kiss, \u201cA Kiss, Pope!\u201d She said.<\/p>\n

The pope responded with a joke, replying: \u201cYou bite!\u201d Calm yourself I\u2019ll give you a kiss\u2019<\/p>\n

Francis then said, \u201cPromise you won\u2019t bite?\u201d<\/p>\n

The nun nodded affirmatively and the pope then kissed her on the cheek.<\/p>\n
