Being in the presence of the Pope can be a "Beatles Concert circa mid 60's" experience for super devout Roman Catholics. Looked to me like a woman overcome with zeal wanting to perhaps touch the hem of his garment.
I was blessed by the Pope back in 1976 at his summer residence outside of Rome. I was in a fairly small courtyard that probably only held about 800 people and it was fascinating to watch the truly faithful RC's get so emotional when he appeared.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Well... whatever her reasoning... It certainly wasn't going to happen.
Oh I just abhor seeing all of that pagan robery, pomp & circumstance and it pains me that most of the world is blind to such a blatant display of everything that is against God.
The garb of the priests of dagon are worn so openly and blatantly and yet no one sees.
God open the eyes of the world to this pagan display and bare their nakedness that they deceive no more.
Well... whatever her reasoning... It certainly wasn't going to happen.

Do you think they know they're "against God"?

No sir... that is what I had said... they are blind to the fact that it is against God. Hence the prayer at the end that God would open their eyes so they would be able to see it.
