(Moves a footstep) *camera goes off 2000 times*

[johnmarquez]

This is disgusting. I’m not against Pope Francis, but why are there so many unnecessary people there taking pictures. It ruins the moment. What could have been an even better moment was ruined once again by media.

[axel_lies]

peace and silence: *exist*

cameras: *allow us to introduce ourselves*

[charlie]

everybody: silent
camera: click click click click click

[gunnar]

hasnt anyone made a camera THAT MAKES NO CLICKING SOUNDS?!??!! ITS 2019 people! there was supposed to be flying cars by now...

[PersianBTW]

Pope: Moves an inch
Cameras: *WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!*

[TheMJrealms]

The cameras just sound like my mom talking to me after exams

[skylerrash]

I find it so uncomfortable how much of a scene the camera crew and everyone else is making it. It's somewhat disrespectful.

[thatguytobyplayz]

The poor guy looks distraught, mesmerised by what he’s witnessing
At that he’ll camp

[MOTOMAWZ]

He's a nice guy and I appreciate this. I'm not religious but I can respect him. Wonderful guy.

[maplematt]

I don’t think this is something you should be filming

[decoture]

i thought the wars of religion were ended hundreds of years ago, but its still happening in the comments clearly

[lucasbrown]

i honestly believe this is one of the purest videos i’ve ever watched. i myself am a protestant christian, but I know many catholics and have attended a few services of catholic mass myself. there should be no room for hate, both inside and outside of christianity. love and peace for all.

[cwbird]

I like that he is walking by himself and not having a million guards surrounding him. This just shows that he trusts his fellow humans.

[sugandhakohli]

This was heartwarming for some reason, even I not being a Christian

[bionacle]

Religious or not everyone can respect pope francis

[Maria-xfyx]

The person who made this video: "He walked in alone"

The media: " *NOT ON MY WATCH* "

[brandonsimpson]

People: Wow the pope must be really taking this in

Inside Popes head: *hearing a million voices*

[vohung]

"Work sets you free" when you die from over working

[madison-lkvf]

he's like one of the only people i genuinely respect.
