You have to be a completely ignorant of the bible and show disregard to the instructions of God through Jesus Christ to not know that this is repulsive and idolatry at its worst! The Word of God is clear "And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." - Matthew 23:9
In Mt, Jesus told his disciples to call no man on earth Father. Christ knew that in the future there would arise such systems and warned his true disciples to call no man on earth Father. One man was about to kiss the disciples hand at one point, and the disciple immediately directed him to give glory to God, not to him.
The Pope's ring has a piece of the ACTUAL cross that Jesus Christ died on.
So does the rings of all BISHOPS worldwide.
That is why we kiss the ring, and of course, no where in the Bible does it say that the Bible is the ONLY AUTHORITY.
I urge you to message us in private so that you may understand <3
The Catholic (Universal) Christian Church is the only true Christian Church of God which has existed for over two-thousand (2,000) years since the time of the Apostles.
@BrezzEasyy lol. the Bible doesn't have to show you every single thing. There's also a proper way to address a court judge, which is also not found in the Bible, etc.
Customarily, a genuflection on one knee is made as one kisses the Pope's ring. Women are dressed in black and should have their heads covered. Men remove their hats. Catholic Queens wear white in the Pope's presence. A person should also genuflect (on both knees or one knee when kneeling on both knees would be inconvenient) when the Pope gives his blessing.

@BrezzEasyy
it's not in the bible. no one is commanding you to meet the pope, this is meant to inform of traditional courtesies. some people might appreciate it.
