Pope Francis, in Plea for South Sudan Peace, Stuns Leaders by Kissing Their Shoes.
[ROME — Pope Francis on Thursday got on his hands and knees before the leaders of South Sudan’s government and its opposition, kissing their shoes and imploring the two men to maintain the tenuous peace that exists between them.
“I’m asking you with my heart,” the pope said to the president, Salva Kiir, and the opposition leader, Riek Machar, clutching his hands in front of his chest. “Stay in peace.”]

Like Wow! That's some deep show of humility.. I was kinda expecting them to kiss his ring or something... But hey if that's what it takes to stop bullets from flying then, as an agnostic I'd say go with God???
