YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

ABC News’ Maggie Rulli reports from Vatican City as the first Roman Catholic pope from the U.S. formally took over as the leader of the church and greeted the faithful in the popemobile.

Pope Leo XIV spoke on Sunday of the remarkable times during which he's been elevated to the papacy, saying in his first homily as pontiff that he will rise to the task "with fear and trembling," while still seeking to serve all with "faith and joy."

That homily was delivered during the American pope's inaugural mass, called the Holy Mass for the Beginning of the Pontificate, in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. An open-topped popemobile had driven Leo on Sunday morning through St. Peter's Square, where about 100,000 people had gathered to catch a glimpse of him, according to the Vatican's press office.

The pope said during his homily that there's "too much discord, too many wounds caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, the fear of difference, and the economic paradigm that exploits the Earth's resources and marginalizes the poorest."
