The Philadelphia native has overseen the planning and execution of
scores of events since then, though none as important politically or on
as grand a scale as the Francis and Xi visits.
During the USA visit, Francis met with abuse victims and issued an apparent message of consolation to American bishops that the church also suffered blows from the scandals.
“The people of the United States love the sisters”, he said. He was seen off by a number of dignitaries, including Vice President Joe Biden. As for the refugee crisis sweeping much of Europe, Francis said the construction of barriers – like the one Hungary built along the Serbian border – to stop the influx is useless.
