President Obama welcomed Pope Francis to the White House on today with an elaborate ceremony with more than 15,000 invited guests on the South Lawn. A Marine band played both the pontifical anthem and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Pope has a full day of activities today in Washington, D.C. including a papal parade, his address to the U.S. Bishops and speaking to joint session of Congress before heading off to New York late this afternoon.
