There was also a photo of the two smiling at each other as they shook hands.

Pope Francis had already apologized for the December 31 hand-slapping incident prior to this, admitting he had lost his patience.

“Many times we lose our patience; me too. I apologize for yesterday’s bad example,” the Pope had said during his January 1 Angelus.
