Pope Francis chuckles as boy climbs on stage and interrupts speech
A boy broke through security, clambered on to the stage and pulled the sleeve of a Swiss guard on the podium metres from the pontiff while he was speaking in the Vatican audience hall.

'Leave him, leave him to play here,' the pope said as the child, who he said was speech-impaired, rolled around in front of him on the carpet. As the weekly audience continued, the child was allowed to keep roaming around the podium.

The pope first jokes about himself, then compliments the kid and comforts his mother. Shows a kind heart in an intelligent man.
This kid is going to grow up and realize he met the pope as a child
This boy literally upstaged the freaking Pope.

Those were really wise words and a very mature response from him.
I’m not Christian but this Pope really is a man of deep wisdom to learn so profoundly from every moment. I’m glad I got to learn this from him today. Much respect!
I am a Buddhist but I really admire Pope Francis.....He is so kind...🤗🤗🤗🤗 Whenever my Christian friends talk about him I keep listening happily.😊😊😊😊
"The boy cannot speak, he is mute. But he knows how to communicate."
The guard looked like a gigantic colorful candy stick.

Traslation for non spanish natives:
This is so, so, beautiful, The Holy Pope is right it is the children that teach us all.
Props to that Swiss guard for keeping professionalism
The Swiss Guard looks like a jar of Goober Peanut butter and jelly. My favorite as a kid.
How times have changed. If I did this with our local parish priest when I was a kid I would be punished horribly.
Half of the hallway is in Italy, and the other half in Vatican City
Why does the Swiss Gaurd always remind me of PB & J
That child's action is a great sermon to me. A great sermon.
Brought tears to my eyes. My son is on the spectrum but it’s fortunate enough to have the power or speech. Still he is often looked at by many as strange in his wandering and often doesn’t respond when spoken too. Warms my heart to see and hear such acceptance.
