Pope Francis Begins Papacy, Reaction [VIDEO]
Thursday marks the first full day for Pope Francis as leader of the Catholic Church, and he began the day in the humble fashion that he is known for. Among the first stops for the new Pope, a prayer for the Virgin Mary at the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome, as well as returning to the Rome residence that he stayed in – as Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio – before moving into the dorms at the Vatican for the conclave, picking up his bags and offering to pay his tab.
