A little boy interrupted Pope Francis while he was speaking during a rally in support of family life in St. Peter’s Square. The pope smiled at the boy as he continued his speech in front of a crowd of thousands.
Pope Francis was speaking in St. Peter’s Square about the important role grandparents play when a little boy walked up behind him and confidently climbed up and sat down on the pontiff’s white chair.
Acting like an indulgent grandpa, Francis let the boy explore the area undisturbed before tens of thousands of people. The pope smiled while reading his speech as the boy sat in the empty chair, gazed up at him and even at one point clung to the pontiff’s legs.
The little boy wandered over to Francis and refused to leave his side.
