Notice the wee child on the left hand side of the Satanic Beast who appears to be looking at that hand symbol.

Is this a deliberate a link to pedophilia and all manner of  wickedness that screams to heaven for vengeance?

It's true that there are only so many things you can do with your fingers when it comes to hand signs, handshakes, and what not.

The devil is rocking angel wings too. But those aren't bad...it's because he used to be an angel.

Likewise, the devil wants nothing more than to be powerful, kingly, and adored like God. So he will strike all kinds of poses to that end. Remember, the devil "apes" God or tries his utmost to imitate Him. Usually with a twisted, demonic version. God invented marriage, Satan responded with "open marriage", the orgy, shacking up, sodomy, and same sex marriage. The devil has his own prayers too, which his dupes pray to him. God has the Ten Commandments and the Two Great Commandments, the devil responds with "do what thou wilt".

Anyhow, hand signs aren't like the 8-note musical scale, which is capable of millions of different melodies. I'm sure every possible pose of the fingers has been "taken" by some group, organization, or gang.

Matthew

Here Francis blesses with an open palm, not using the Trinitarian symbol.

I don't see this in the OP.

Take a closer look at the raised two-fingered right hand of Satan pictured in the OP.

The thumb of Satan is not raised, but is pressed down and touches the bent ring finger. These three bent fingers (two fingers and one thumb) form a thrice bent or inverted unholy trinity (Satan, Prophet, and Anti-Christ). Everything concerning Satan is inverted or reversed.

Then compare that thrice-unholy Satanic hand signal with the papal hand raised in a Trinitarian blessing by St. Pius X. Popes for centuries have used this Trinitarian blessing.

Isn't there more symbolism associated with the Papal Trinitarian Blessing? Don't the two bent fingers represent Christ as True God and True Man?

Christ came down to earth and humbled Himself becoming a babe for our sakes. That the Pre-incarnated Christ would take on human nature to redeem us angered Satan. That the Blessed Virgin Mary, born of man, would be raised higher in honor than all the angels and become the Queen of the Angels incensed Satan and led to his fall and to his becoming our greatest enemy. For Satan could never venerate the Holy Mother of God.

I don't understand whwat you mean by" the pinky and ring finger" raised.
I see the index and middle finger raised.

Probably just a typo.
Yes, the index and middle finger are raised.
While the pinky and ring finger are bent.
