From Richmond-Pope Francis is a rock star.

When I met him in mid-October, I saw firsthand something of the surprising source of his magnetism and strength.
Our group of 10 bishops of the Episcopal Church traveled to Rome at the invitation of the bishop of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe to learn about the ministry of the church there. One Wednesday morning, we headed across town to St. Peter’s Square for a public audience and brief individual meetings with Pope Francis.
