An overeager crowd in Mexico was chastised by Pope Francis after they pulled him by the sleeves, dragging him forward and almost tripping him over.
“Don’t be so selfish,” the pontiff said to the person who tried to pull him forward.
Pope Francis visited the city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, near the U.S. border. An estimated 200,000 Catholics crossed four bridges from El Paso, Texas, and headed south of the border to see the pope, the Guardian reports.
The northern city is the pope’s last stop on his tour of Mexico, a primarily Catholic country.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection added extra agents and security ahead of the event to prevent anyone from using the extra activity of the papal visit to sneak contraband or people across the border.
