The '''papal inauguration of Pope Francis''' was held on 19 March 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/homilies/2013/documents/papa-francesco_20130319_omelia-inizio-pontificato_en.html|title=19 March 2013: Mass for the inauguration of the Pontificate|publisher=Vatican.va|access-date=1 December 2014}}</ref> in [[St. Peter's Square]] in the [[Vatican City|Vatican]]. Holy Mass was celebrated by [[Pope Francis]] before political and religious leaders from around the world. The crowd was estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Official delegations from 132 states and various religious groups attended. It was the first [[papal inauguration]] attended by the [[Patriarch of Constantinople]] in over 1,000 years.
In his homily Pope Francis focused on the [[Solemnity of Saint Joseph]] that was celebrated . He stated that we all need to care for the earth and for each other as Joseph cared for Jesus and Mary. He set forth a plan of his own actions: "The pope, too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service, which has its radiant culmination on the cross."<ref name="reporter"/><ref>[http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/homilies/2013/documents/papa-francesco_20130319_omelia-inizio-pontificato_en.html Full Text of Pope Francis's Homily]</ref>

[[File:Francis Inauguration fc10.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Pope Francis waving to the crowds after the Mass]]
About half an hour before the Mass, Francis toured the square in the [[popemobile]] to greet the crowds. He stopped and left the popemobile once to kiss a disabled man. Pope Francis wore a simple [[mitre]], which he has had since he was bishop, as well as its matching [[chasuble]]. He used the [[Papal ferula|pastoral staff]] that [[Pope Benedict XVI|Benedict XVI]] used, but in contrast to Benedict XVI's grand liturgical sense, Pope Francis kept the songs and liturgical actions simple. According to Cardinal [[Timothy Dolan]], Pope Francis's lack of singing during Mass is attributed to him having only one lung.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ny1.com/content/special_reports/papal_election_2013/178943/dolan--pope-francis-healthy-enough-to-lead-world-s-catholics |title=Dolan: Pope Francis Healthy Enough To Lead World's Catholics |publisher=NY1.com |access-date=22 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615231520/http://www.ny1.com/content/special_reports/papal_election_2013/178943/dolan--pope-francis-healthy-enough-to-lead-world-s-catholics |archive-date=15 June 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
About half an hour before the mass, Francis toured the square in the [[Popemobile]] to greet the crowds. He stopped and left the Popemobile once to kiss a disabled man.


After the pope's arrival, the ceremony began with the new pope descending to the tomb of St. Peter in St. Peter's Basilica. The pope, along with the patriarchs and major-archbishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches prayed at the tomb.<ref name="Inauguration video">{{YouTube|id=L8UkpJI-6hM|title=Inaugural Mass of the Pontificate (Vatican video of Pope Francis' papal inauguration)}}</ref> Afterwards, the [[pallium]]—a lamb's wool shawl—and the Ring of the Fisherman were taken by two deacons from the tomb where they had previously been laid and carried up to be borne in procession.<ref name="Inauguration video"/> Then the pope and the Eastern Catholic patriarchs and major-archbishops went up to the basilica main floor and proceeded along with the other cardinals, bishops and other clergy in procession to the square chanting the "[[Laudes Regiæ]]".<ref name="Inauguration video"/>
Pope Francis used a [[miter]] that he has had since he was bishop. His [[chasuble]] matched the miter. He used the same [[crosier]] that [[Benedict XVI]] used. In contrast to Benedict XVI's grand liturgical sense, Pope Francis kept the songs and liturgical actions simple.

The attendance of the [[Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] is a historic first. The Patriarch has not attended a [[Papal inauguration]] since the [[Great Schism of 1054]]. In recognition of Bartholomew's historic gesture, the pope's installation ceremony included a singing of a passage from the [[gospel]] in [[Biblical Greek|Greek]], rather than in [[Latin]]. Orthodox leaders state that the decision of [[Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople]] to attend the ceremony shows that the relationship between the Orthodox and Catholic churches is a priority of his, but they also note that Francis's "well-documented work for social justice and his insistence that globalization is detrimental to the poor" may have created a "renewed opportunity" for the two church communities to "work collectively on issues of mutual concern."<ref>Demacopoulos, George E., [http://www.archons.org/news/detail.asp?id=619 "The extraordinary historical significance of His Holiness' presence at Pope Francis' installation as Bishop of Rome"], Archon News (Order of St. Andrew the Apostle), 19 March 2013, Retrieved 19 March 2013</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/19/pople-francis-inauguration-crowds-gather|publisher = The Guardian|title = Papal inauguration: crowds gather for installation of Pope Francis|date = 19 March 2013|accessdate = 20 March 2013}}</ref><ref>[http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130319/orthodox-patriarch-rare-rome-visit-papal-inauguration]</ref>

Among the people at St. Peter's Square during The Inauguration Mass

The papal inauguration of Pope Francis was held on 19 March 2013[1] in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. Holy Mass was celebrated by Pope Francis before political and religious leaders from around the world. The crowd was estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Official delegations from 132 states and various religious groups attended. It was the first papal inauguration attended by the Patriarch of Constantinople in over 1,000 years.

Ceremony

[edit]
Pope Francis waving to the crowds after the Mass

About half an hour before the Mass, Francis toured the square in the popemobile to greet the crowds. He stopped and left the popemobile once to kiss a disabled man. Pope Francis wore a simple mitre, which he has had since he was bishop, as well as its matching chasuble. He used the pastoral staff that Benedict XVI used, but in contrast to Benedict XVI's grand liturgical sense, Pope Francis kept the songs and liturgical actions simple. According to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Pope Francis's lack of singing during Mass is attributed to him having only one lung.[2]

After the pope's arrival, the ceremony began with the new pope descending to the tomb of St. Peter in St. Peter's Basilica. The pope, along with the patriarchs and major-archbishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches prayed at the tomb.[3] Afterwards, the pallium—a lamb's wool shawl—and the Ring of the Fisherman were taken by two deacons from the tomb where they had previously been laid and carried up to be borne in procession.[3] Then the pope and the Eastern Catholic patriarchs and major-archbishops went up to the basilica main floor and proceeded along with the other cardinals, bishops and other clergy in procession to the square chanting the "Laudes Regiæ".[3]

The cardinal protodeacon, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, bestowed the pallium on the pope.[3] The senior cardinal-priest present, Godfried Danneels, read the prayer for the new pope before the Ring of the Fisherman was presented.[3][a] Angelo Sodano, Dean of the College of Cardinals, presented him with his Fisherman's Ring of gold-plated silver unlike his predecessors' which were gold.[3][6] Six cardinals, two of each rank of cardinal, then professed their obedience to Pope Francis on behalf of the College of Cardinals.[b] In previous ceremonies, all the cardinals did so.[8][c]

According to a Vatican spokesperson between 150,000 and 200,000 people attended.[10]

Homily

[edit]

Pope Francis delivered his homily in Italian. He focused on the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, the liturgical day on which the Mass was celebrated. He stated that everyone needs to care for the earth and for each other as Joseph cared for Jesus and Mary. He set forth a plan of his own actions: "The pope, too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service, which has its radiant culmination on the cross."[10][11]

Official delegations

[edit]

Some 132 states and international organizations sent delegations to the inauguration. The delegations included 6 sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, 3 princes, and 11 heads of government.[6][12][13][14]

The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople had not attended a papal inauguration since the Great Schism of 1054. Orthodox leaders said that the decision of Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople to attend showed that he considers the relationship between the Orthodox and Catholic churches a priority. They also noted that Francis' "well-documented work for social justice and his insistence that globalization is detrimental to the poor" may have created a "renewed opportunity" for the two church communities to "work collectively on issues of mutual concern."[62][63][64]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The cardinal protopresbyter or protopriest reads the prayer for the new pope, Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns did not travel from Brazil to attend so the next senior cardinal-priest Godfried Danneels, read it.[4][5]
  2. ^ The six cardinals were Giovanni Battista Re and Tarcisio Bertone representing the Cardinal-Bishops; Joachim Meisner and Jozef Tomko representing the Cardinal-Priests; and Renato Raffaele Martino and Francesco Marchisano representing the Cardinal-Deacons.[3][7]
  3. ^ In previous papal coronations and inaugurations up to and including Pope John Paul II's inauguration, all cardinals present professed their obedience. Pope Benedict XVI's inauguration was the first where only selected cardinals made the public profession of obedience.[9]
