[sw-l] your sign for the Pope

[Charles Butler]

Bishop_2 looks better but how can I tell that it is not a facial expression of a kiss and the "back of the hand" (however awkward) touching the chest?

Is there not a definitive (meaning ONE way only) way to show a finger is being kissed rather than laying against the chest?  How would one, for example, show someone kissing their hand to "blow a kiss".  It's the awkward point of covering the face with the hand.
