The beatification of the Maid of France in April,1909, was one more token of the Pope s love of the country that had given so much for God, and thepresence in Rome of forty thousand of her children,led by sixty-seven of her Bishops, was but another proof of her true spirit. And when at the end of the ceremony, borne in the Sedia Gestatoria through the crowd, the Holy Father, leaning forward, lifted the fold of the French flag that had been lowered at his passage and reverently kissed it, the enthusiasm knew no bounds. That flag had stood for much that was not noble; the memory of its origin was still in the minds of many. But by that kiss it was consecrated for ever blood shed in battle for the right was to wash out the stain of blood shed in mad passion it stands now for the soul of France.
Thus, if Pope St. Pius X kissed the French tricolor flag, what is the big deal about John Paul II kissing the Koran?
