I'm not a big Francis fan, but accepting the gift seems fine? It would be a lightening bolt occasion if he worshipped it or made offerings but he's not so

It's such a bullshit thing. The North Koreans (yes, I'm gonna just call them that) did that with the wife of the South Korean president recently. Stuck a bag into her hand at a public event and then called it a scandal because inside that bag was a smaller bag which cost... $2,000!!!
Can you imagine? I've certainly never met a Korean woman who could afford to drop $2k on a handbag without thinking too much about it. Because I was born in the fricking 1870s or something and don't know how much money is worth.
