VATICAN CITY Thousands of people are pouring into St. Peter's Square to witness the official start of the papacy of the first pope from the New World.
(snip)
The installation Mass is simpler than the 2005 ceremony for Pope Benedict XVI in keeping with Francis' style, but still grand enough to draw 132 official delegations and religious leaders from around the world, including the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians who is attending for the first time since the two branches of Christianity split 1,000 years ago.

If his homily is any indication, I think he will be the kind of pope we need at this time.
To: Ron C.
Pope concludes homily by asking for the intercession of God and the saints. Asks people to pray for him and to do good.
Wants the Petrine Ministry modeled after Joseph, Jesus, Matthew and Francis. The poor should be kept in mind by all!
Prayers commence.
