They kiss the papal ring, not the hand. Anyone can kiss the ring if the pope presents his hand in such a manner that would allow it. All bishops and cardinals also wear a ring that may be kissed if the person allows it. Many have discontinued the practice, however, and would prefer a simple handshake instead.

Do you kiss the ring of the archbishop?
Do I? No. I am Russian Orthodox, and our Bishops do not wear rings. When we ask the Bishop's blessing, we lay our right hand (open hand, palm up) over our left hand, and gold them in front of our chest area; the Bishop will make the Sign of the Cross over us, then lay his right hand on our hands, at which time we kiss his hand. Roman Catholics kiss the ring of the Bishop-any Bishop, "arch" or not...and, of course, the Pope and Cardinals...who are, after all, Bishops too.

What is 'Kiss the ring' in Latin?
Basia annulum is the Latin equivalent of 'Kiss the ring'. In the word by word translation, the verb 'basia' means '[you] are kissing, do kiss, kiss'. The masculine gender noun 'annulum' means 'ring'. The phrase is pronounced 'BAH-see-ah ahn-NOO-loom'.The phrase may be considered an observation on, a prompt for, or a reference to an audience with the Pope.

But all papal rings include an image of St. Peter [c. A.D. 1-64].
