SPRING STARTS AND THE WEEKEND AT 6:14. Rhonda: AND RIGHT NOW, A SPECIAL CEREMONY IS UNDER WAY IN ROME JUST HOURS BEFORE POPE FRANCIS, I, IS INSTALLED AS THE FATHER OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. Guy: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IT IS! HUNDREDS OF DIGNITARIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE THERE, INCLUDING VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. Rhonda: HE CERTAINLY IS. AND JAY GRAY IS ALSO THERE TO BRING US A LIVE REPORT FROM ST. PETER'S SQUARE IN VATICAN CITY. GOOD MORNING! Reporter: GOOD MORNING, FROM A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN ROME. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF WHAT'S BEEN HARSH RAIN, AND SUN SPILLING INTO ST. PETER'S SQUARE THIS MORNING. LET'S TAKE A LIVE LOOK INSIDE AT THE INAUGURAL MASS FOR POPE FRANCIS, AND COMMUNION. THE POPE DELIVERING HIS HOMILY. SEVERAL APPLAUSE DURING THE HOMILY AND URGED THE FAITHFUL TO PRAY FOR HIM AS HE OFFICIALLY BECOMES THE NEW LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. AFTER WAITING FOR HOURS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WELCOMED POPE FRANCIS TO ST. PETER'S SQUARE. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE, IT'S VERY EXCITING, VERY EXCITING! IT'S AMAZING! IT'S THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH AROUND THE WORLD. Reporter: AFTER GREETING THE FAITHFUL FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES, FRANCIS WAS USHERED INSIDE ST. PETER'S BASILICA. AND THE CEREMONY BEGAN. THE NEW POPE LED BY THE CARDINALS AS THE PROCESSION MOVED BACK INTO THE SQUARE WHERE HE RECEIVED HIS VESTMENTS AND PALEAL RING. DIGNITARIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS JOINED IN THE CELEBRATORY SERVICE. AND AGAIN, A LIVE LOOK INSIDE ST. PETER'S SQUARE AS THE MASS CONTINUES HERE. IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING MORNING, DRAPED IN THE TRADITIONS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. BUT AGAIN, WITH THE NEW POPE WHO HAS THE HUMILITY ABOUT HIM, SOMEONE WHO HAS REACHED OUT TO THE FAITHFUL, TO THE CROWDS THAT HAVE GATHERED HERE, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS NOW TAKING PART IN THE COMMUNION INSIDE ST. PETER'S SQUARE, AS THE MASS IS BEGINNING TO ROUND TOWARD A CLOSE HERE. THIS IS ALSO THE END OF THE CELEBRATIONS, THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE SURROUNDING HIS ELECTION. AND MANY WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO LOOK FOR THE REFORM, THE REPAIRS TO THE CHURCH THAT THEY SAY ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED AND THEY EXPECT FROM THE NEW LEADER OF THEIR FAITH. THAT IS THE LATEST LIVE HERE IN ROME. I'M JAY GRAY, BACK TO YOU. Rhonda: THANK YOU.
