Pope Liu XIII’s bloc attracted tens of thousands, including Prime Minister Carne

Pope Leo fourteen officially opened Pontevisat as the first American Pope of History on Sunday, as he heads the opening bloc in Saint Peter Square, tens of thousands of people, presidents, patriarchs and princes at the ceremony of the ancient rituals, and the hopeless symbols.

Liu launched the celebration by carrying out the first round of Bouboopille across the square, which has become a synonym for the global access of the Babylu and the middle clouds, and is used at home and abroad to bring the popes near their herd.

The 69 -year -old missionaries smiled and waved from the back of the truck, but he did not stop kissing children. Security was narrow as civil protection crews in the neon turned pilgrims into a quadrilateral in the square and up and down the street to which he is leading.

US Vice President JD Vance, one of the last foreign officials who sees Pope Francis before his death, pushed his respect in the grave of the Argentine Pope upon his arrival in Rome late on Saturday and head of the American delegation honored Leo born in Chicago.

After the public tour of the square, Leo went to Bazilica to pray in the grave of St. Peter, who is considered the first Pope, under the altar of the Bazilica Church and then was treated to the scene for the block.

A strict sitting plan

The strict diplomatic protocol dictates the seating arrangements, as both the United States and Peru obtained seats in the front row thanks to Leo’s dual nationality.

Vans, an author of the Catholic who was intertwined with Francis on plans to deport the mass immigrants in the Trump administration, joined US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who arrived in Rome early to try to strengthen Russian-Ukraine peace talks.

The Peruvian President Dina Bolwart is one of about ten heads of state heads who are attending, as well as Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski. Russia is represented by the Minister of Culture, Olga Lubimova.

Prime Minister Mark Carney left Canada on Friday night on his first official trip to the Vatican. The Mass with members of Parliament attended the liberal gathering, who practice Catholics or who represent large Catholic circles

The diplomatic protocol dictates the bases of dress: While most of them wear black, a handful of Catholic queens and princesses – Charlin from Monaco and Litzia from Spain from among others – wore a white in a special privilege that allowed them to do so.

Delegations, a loyal herd of all over the world

Three dozens of other Christian churches in the world and their own are sent, headed by patriarchs, priest, ministers and the capital, while the Jewish community had a delegation of 13 members, half of them.

Ethan Mining, 21, concluded from Omaha, Neb. , In an American flag, it was purchased at a truck station in Iowa, to celebrate.

“Rome has always felt that she was home to Catholic, but now it comes here and seeing one of us on the throne of Peter … It is almost made Jesus himself easy to reach,” he said.

Calin Hill, a pilgrim from the United States, arrived at St. Peter shortly after the opening of the gates at dawn on Sunday morning and said he had never expected an American to lead a strong church of 1.4 billion.

“I would like to say that all Americans are emotional about it,” he said. “It is really strong for the American Catholics who sometimes feel separated from the World Church to be brought and included in this society through Pope Liu.”

Rituals

During the block, Liu will receive the strong gossip of the door: stole Lambswool, known as the blame, and the hunter ring. The balm, who wraps through his shoulders, symbolizes the priest who carries its flock while carrying the believers. The ring, which becomes the official seal of Liu, returns to Jesus’ invitation to the Messenger Peter to throw his fishing networks.

The other important moment of symbolic aspect of the mass is the representative rituals of obedience to Leo: While in the past, all Cardinals will undertake obedience to the new Pope, and the most modern papal installations include representatives of the Cardinals, Bishops, priests, lips, mines, marriage, and youth participating in the classes.

Another change in the past is that Sunday Mass is not a coronation, which included the Pope who received a crown, but is only known as the bloc to start the Pope’s Ministry of Rome.

In the days after his historical election, Leo actually drew some of his main priorities Kababa. In his first foreign policy speech, he said that the three diplomacy pillars of diplomacy were peace, justice and truth.

In the first speech of the main economy, he emphasized the social doctrine of the Catholic Church and the search for the truth. It is not known whether to use the sermon as an important statement as some of its predecessors did.

The Americans discover

After the sermon and at the end of the mass, there will be a final blessing before going to Bazilica to salute the heads of more than 150 official delegations. Security was narrow, as was the case for Francis’s funeral on April 26, which attracted an estimated 250,000 people. The Rome authorities are planning another 250,000 on Sunday.

Piaza and Raisi Street were created, two of the nearby square were created with giant television screens, and dozens of mobile toilets were built in a nearby garden.

Gregory and Susan Hodak, who lived for 40 years in the Chicago region, found themselves in Rome after reserving a trip in February, with a faint hope to take a look at the Pope. Gary Hodak, a former altar wearing a hat in Chicago Beers, said that seeing the bobbble corridor in front of them, with Leo born in Chicago, was better than watching Michael Jordan Play.

“Originally, it was the only hope I had here was to see the inner part of the Sistine Church,” he said. “I was happy that Conclave has ended, because I could see the inner part of the Sistine Church. The Pope’s date was not determined, it was a long hope. This was a treasure and simple.”
