The dress of humility

Francis I--A New Man in Pope's Clothing






He did something that other Popes have not done.  He walked out on the veranda and spoke first in Italian to greet the people.  No formal, official blessing in Latin.  Then he asked for the people to pray for him.  And then he bowed his head--and for the first time in anyone's memory, St. Peter's Square fell silent as a new man donned robes -- dressed in humility.
