Pope Francis Carries His Own Luggage
Pope Francis boards a plane at
Rome's Fiumicino international airport, Monday, July 22, 2013. It's
wheels up on Pope Francis' first trip abroad as pontiff. A special
Alitalia flight carrying Francis, his entourage and journalists who will
cover him on his week-long visit to Brazil took off 10 minutes behind
schedule Monday from Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport. Keeping to his
example that the Catholic church must be humble, Francis carried his own
black hand luggage. He even kept holding it with his left hand while he
used his left to shake hands with some of the VIPs who turned out to
wish him well and while he climbed the stairs to the jet's entrance.
Among the dignitaries was Italian Premier Enrico Letta. (AP
