> After 20 though?
Having 20 people kiss your ring is observing custom. Any more would be vanity.

1 would be TOO humble. 20 is clearly the maximum allowable. More than that and it just gets weird.

Hygiene? The Catholic Church is the leader and guardian of child molestation for centuries. Kissing a ring by comparison ugh.

That was the Vatican spokesman's explanation. He's obliged to say that. The Pope could hardly announce that he was being humble because that in itself would not be humble.

Not defending, just getting some context.
