Pope Francis was officially inaugurated as The Vatican's 266th pontiff Tuesday in front of the biggest crowd yet to see the new pope, according to The Guardian. The Italian police said they were expecting over 1 million people on St. Peter's Square to watch the Inaugural Mass of former Cardinal Jorge Begoglio from Argentina. In his homily, Pope Francis implored the faithful to "never forget that authentic power is service, and that the Pope too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service." He said that today, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope.
