Pope Francis greets the faithful crowding the square next to St. Francis basilica, in Assisi, Italy, Friday, Oct. 4, 2013. Pope Francis made a pilgrimage Friday to the hillside town of Assisi and the tomb of his namesake, St. Francis, the 13th-century friar who renounced a wealthy, dissolute lifestyle to embrace a life of poverty and minister to the most destitute. St. Francis was famously told by God to “repair my house.” (AP Photo/Pietro Crocchioni, Pool)
