I think it makes them feel like it's their way of showing the pope that he rocks when he really doesn't....

Well, kissing the Pope would be a little extreme; anyway, I think it was originally a gesture of humility given to royalty, so it shows a lot of respect

why do people try to make their selves visible by ridiculing the old customs? nothing but a custom of reverence.
what do you think people should kiss on the Pope? :-))

I think it is an old world sign of respect that is/was reserved for royalty and important people. If also seems a bit Italian/ "Godfatherish" doesn't it?!

I think his has to do with Italians - like how Italian mobsters kiss the Don's ring or foot or something.

It's a sign of respect for the Office.

it's supposed to be out of respect for royalty. funny though that he;s a man, appointed by other men to be gods token figurehead. i see no royalty in him at all. he is simply another man.
