Pope Francis lands in Washington, DC and begins whirlwind tour of the U.S.
  • 9 years ago
WASHINGTON ? Pope Francis landed to a red-carpet welcome on Tuesday on a chartered Alitalia jet at Joint Base Edwards with President Obama there to greet him with Michelle and the kids as Francis begins his first visit to the U.S. Hundreds of guests cheered for Francis before he jumped into a modest Fiat 500L hatchback for a ride to the Apostolic Nunciature.

The Pope's six-day whirlwind tour will take him to DC, Philly and the Big Apple, where he will hold masses and other public events. As he meets with President Obama, how will he react to the rainbow carpet on the White House lawn?

But no doubt everyone is waiting to see what Pope Francis will say when he addresses both houses of Congress. Can the Pope slap some sense into the global warming doubters in the Republican party? Will Francis give the Democrats a tongue-lashing over abortion and gay marriage?

And with a Pope as chill as Francis, we wonder how he's going to interact with everyday Americans. What's the Holy Father going to do with his spare time? What sights will he take in? Either way, it's sure to be one hell of a ride.
