Pope Francis has stopped his car as it left the airport in Philadelphia to bless a child in a wheelchair.

The Pontiff kissed the head of 10-year-old Michael Keating and shook hands with family members.

What is the Pope supposedly achieving? Has he got special powers to "fix" this poor boy? Or is he just trying to point the boy out to God because he's probably so busy he's not noticed the boy needs some attention? Or is something else going on?

Confused!

Simple human compassion perhaps? :)
