Pope Francis has landed in New York as he begins the next leg of his whirlwind American tour, after charming Washington, DC for two days with his inspiring sermons and down-to-earth demeanor.
The Pontiff's American Airlines plane was seen landing at John F. Kennedy Airport Thursday afternoon, where a 200-strong welcoming party awaited him.
Francis removed his skullcap as he walked down the steps of the aircraft on a breezy day, before putting it back on as he gave New York Cardinal Francis Dolan a hug and a kiss, before sharing a warm handshake with Bishop Nicholas DiMarzo of Brooklyn.
A high-school band played 'New York, New York' as Francis made his way to the crowd, where Catholic schoolchildren were waiting to present him with a bouquet and a collection of prayers written by students in the city's 86 Catholic schools.
After the short welcome ceremony, the Pope boarded a helicopter which will take him to Manhattan, where he will lead evening prayers at St Patrick's Cathedral.
On Friday, the pope has an even busier day with appearances at the United Nations, the 9/11 Memorial, and a Catholic school in East Harlem, in addition to a parade through Central Park and mass at Madison Square Garden.

It is the first papa trip to New York since Pope Benedict XVI visited in April 2008.
Pope Francis humbly carried his own bag onto the airplane as he boarded the jet to New York, and spent a good amount of time on the tarmac saying goodbye to the many who turned out to see him off on his journey - including Secretary of State John Kerry.
The pope landed in the nation's capitol on Tuesday and spent the last few days meeting with President Obama, addressing Congress and greeting tens of thousands of faithful American Catholics who waited hours to catch a glimpse of the pontiff.
Earlier Thursday, Pope Francis made history by becoming the first pontiff ever to address Congress.
Following the monumental meeting, in which he called on American leaders to lead the change on issues like global warming and immigration, the pope briefly addresses the crowds of about 50,000 gathered on the Capitol's West Lawn.
Flanked by Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner, both Catholic, the pope spoke in his native Spanish, and said: 'We are so grateful for your presence here...the most important ones here, the children.'
Boehner, a former altar boy, was brought to tears just being in the pope's presence and had to wipe his face and blow his nose during the brief appearance on the Capitol balcony. Boehner has personally invited three popes to speak to Congress since he was elected into office more than two decades ago, and Pope Francis is the first to accept his offer.
'I ask you all, please pray for me. And if there are among you who do not believe or cannot pray, I ask you please to send good wishes my way,' the pope said.
After the blessing, the pope waved to the crowd and said: 'God Bless America!'

'Good day everybody. I'm so thankful for your presence here. The most important ones here, children,' he said

After the address, the pope traveled to St Patrick's Church in the City, where he spoke to roughly 400 people, addressing parishioners, people served by Catholic Charities and choirs from two local high schools. He called for charity and compassion toward the homeless and the least fortunate. And he said there is no social or moral justification for a lack of housing for the people. He then went to serve lunch to the needy at Catholic Charities.
Pope Francis started the second day of his American tour by speaking at a joint meeting of Congress, marking the first time that a reigning pontiff has addressed the United States legislature.
There's not much that Republicans and Democrats agree on these days but politicians from both sides of the aisle were equally starstruck when Pope Francis walked into the House Chamber just before 9:30am.
Like the president's State of the Union speech, the pope stood at the center podium, while Vice President Biden and Speaker Boehner, were seated behind. Biden is the first Catholic to hold the position of vice president. He is also rumored to be considering a run at the White House, and if elected would be only the second Catholic president.
The pope's warm reception in Congress on Thursday shows just how far attitudes toward the church have come since 1960, when John F Kennedy became the first Catholic to be elected president. During his campaign, many raised fears that he would be a puppet of the Vatican due to his religious beliefs.
The 500 politicians, Supreme Court justices and other guests lucky enough to get a seat for Thursday's event stood up and clapped as the Pope entered the room, dressed in his simple white gowns.
As Joe Biden and John Boehner looked on, Francis opened his speech: I am most grateful for your invitation to address this Joint Session of Congress in the land of the free and the home of the brave

The pope originally wanted to travel to America through Mexico but that was reportedly not possible. Nonetheless, he used his speech as an opportunity to make reference to migrants, saying: 'View them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories'
The pope implored America to abolish the death penalty. He cites Matthew chapter 7, verse 12 before saying: 'Every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity, and society can only benefit from the rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes'
Several presidential candidates were in attendance including Senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and Bernie Sanders. Dr Ben Carson and New Jersey Gov Chris Christie, though not members of Congress, received invitations.
Three of the four Supreme Court justices in attendance were Catholic: Chief Justice John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, and Sonia Sotomayor. The fourth justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is Jewish.
'I am most grateful for your invitation to address this Joint Session of Congress in the land of the free and the home of the brave,' the pope said to start his speech.
He then waded into several topics close to his heart including climate change, immigration and the abolition of the death penalty.
He also invoked the legacies of four extraordinary Americans, as figures for the gathered leaders to aspire to: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, Franciscan monk Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day, a founder of the Catholic Worker Movement.
Boehner was the first to greet the pope when he arrived at the Capitol ahead of his speech on Thursday, and the speaker didn't hide his excitement for the momentous occasion.
'Our world is increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of God and of religion'
Around 900 people crammed themselves inside the room to listen to the pope on Thursday afternoon
In a rallying cry to combat polarization, the pope declared: 'No religion is immune from ideological extremism'
'I would like ...to dialogue with the many thousands of men and women who strive each day to do an honest day’s work,' he said
The pope said: 'You are called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good, for this is the chief aim of all politics'
'Our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Second World War,' the pope said as he hailed immigrants
Standing under the historic gold ceiling, the pontiff turns his attention to the arms trade and armed conflicts around the world: 'Here we have to ask ourselves: Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society?'
Democrats and Republicans alike repeatedly join in standing ovations as the pope lays out his progressive beliefs
'How essential the family has been to the building of this country! And how worthy it remains of our support and encouragement! Yet I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without,' the pope remarked

Congressional staffers and guests strain to view and photograph the departure of Pope Francis in his Fiat 500L, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, September 24, 2015, after his speech before a joint meeting of Congress
As he stood in his ceremonial office, awaiting the pope, Boehner was a bundle of nerves and told everyone in the room that the day was 'a big deal' for him as a Catholic.
When the pope walked into his office, accompanied by a few bishops, Boehner smiled, shook his hand and said: 'Your Holiness, welcome, really glad that you're here.'
The Ohio Republican's eyes moistened as the pope told him he was glad to be there, too. The two men then sat next to each other, accompanied by Vatican and church officials and Boehner aides.
Boehner told the pontiff that his staff had urged him to wear the green tie he was sporting. That drew a compliment from Francis, delivered through an interpreter.
The interpreter told Boehner, 'He says it's a tie with the color of hope.'
Francis' speech marks the first time a pope has addressed Congress, and the speech had politicians on both sides of the aisle wary. While Republican admire the pope's opposition to abortion and defense of the traditional family, they are not as excited about his advocacy of social causes near and dear to the hearts of Democrats, like climate change and immigration.
Pope Francis didn't shy away from any of these issues when he spoke to a rapt Congress, issuing a ringing call to action on behalf of immigrants.
Introducing himself at the Capitol as 'a son of this great continent,' the Argentine pope, read his remarks slowly in English.
Lawmakers of all political backgrounds and religious affiliations eagerly welcomed the pope, pledging to pause from the bickering and dysfunction that normally divide them and hear him out. Yet Francis spoke to a Congress that has deadlocked on immigration legislation, at a time when there are more than 11million people in the U.S. illegally, and where some lawmakers have balked at Obama administration plans to accept more of the migrants from Syria and elsewhere who are now flooding Europe.

Indeed, Francis arrived at a moment of particular turmoil for Congress, with a partial government shutdown looming next week unless lawmakers can resolve a dispute over funding for Planned Parenthood related to the group's practices providing fetal tissue for research.
Francis steered clear of such controversies, alluding only in passing to the Catholic Church's opposition to abortion when he noted, to applause, 'our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development.'
He advocated abolition of the death penalty, something that enjoys support from a number of lawmakers of both parties at the federal level, and spoke out against fundamentalism of all kinds, while urging care in combating it.
'A delicate balance is required to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an economic system, while also safeguarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and individual freedoms,' Francis said.
On immigration, Francis urged lawmakers - and the United States as a whole - not to be afraid of migrants but to welcome them as fellow human beings, not things that can be discarded just because they are troublesome.
Francis, the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, recalled that America itself was founded by immigrants, that many lawmakers are descended from foreigners and that that new generations must not 'turn their back on our neighbors.'
Referencing the migration crisis in Europe as well as the United States' own struggle with immigration from Latin America, Francis summoned lawmakers 'to respond in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal.'
'We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best as we can to their situation,' Francis urged.
Given an ovation when he spoke of the Golden Rule, he said, 'Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated.'
He reiterated his stance on climate change, 'the environmental deterioration caused by human activity.'
Yet in calling for action on the climate and to combat poverty, Francis took care to insist he was not anti-business, as some conservatives have suggested. He quoted a Catholic teaching document calling business 'a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world.'

Before the pope's arrival, Boehner told those waiting with him that the pope's visit was 'a big deal' for him, as a Catholic.
Many lawmakers had vowed to preserve decorum throughout the speech and members of both parties listened intently, yet they did not completely contain their reactions. The mention of climate change drew standing cheers from Democrats while Republicans stood to applaud the reference to abortion. One Democratic House member let out a whoop of delight at the pope's call to abolish the death penalty.
Republicans in particular also loudly applauded as Francis asserted the importance of family life and bemoaned that 'fundamental relationships are being called into question as is the very basis of marriage and the family.' The Catholic Church opposes gay marriage, recently legalized by the Supreme Court.
Francis also criticized the arms trade, significant before Congress because the United States is the world's largest exporter of weapons.
On Thursday, security was tight outside the Capitol, with streets blocked off and a heavy police presence that rivaled an Inauguration or State of the Union address by the U.S. president. The scene on the West Lawn was festive but orderly.
Francis enjoys approval ratings the envy of any U.S. politician as he's remade the image of the Catholic Church toward openness and compassion, yet without changing fundamental church doctrine. Addressing a chamber full of elected officials Thursday, he may have been the most adept politician in the room.
The first time Congress invited a foreign dignitary to speak at the Capitol was in 1874, for King Kalakaua of Hawaii.
It wasn't until 1934 that another dignitary was invited, but since the 1950s such addresses have become commonplace.
Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth II and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, have all spoke to the members of House and Senate.
It was Netanyahu's recent visit that was the most critiqued, as he took the opportunity to condemn President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.

Ahead of the speech, Boehner said he expected the pontiff to rise above political bickering to provide bipartisan inspiration.
'The pope transcends all of this. He appeals to our better angels and brings us back to our daily obligations,' Boehner said Wednesday.
'The best thing we can all do is listen, open our hearts to his message and reflect on his example.'
Some 30 per cent of U.S. lawmakers are Catholic, while nine in 10 are Christian, and the pope is widely admired by Republicans and Democrats alike.
Buildup to the speech has not been without controversy, however. Several Republicans have expressed wariness about Francis bringing a politicized message. One congressman said he will boycott the pope's address.
'In theological matters, as a Catholic, I believe that... he's infallible in those decisions,' Senator Marco Rubio, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, told Fox News.
'On moral issues he speaks with incredible authority, and he has done so consistently, on the value of life, on the sanctity of life, on the importance of marriage, and on the family,' he added.
'On economic issues, the pope is a person' just like any other.
Senator John Thune said he hoped lawmakers could learn from the pope about mercy and compassion.
But he added that 'there are also some things we hope that he can take away from visiting our country for the first time.'
Among them, Thune said, was 'recognizing that free enterprise is the greatest anti-poverty force that the world has ever seen.'
Francis said on his flight from Cuba to Washington that he likely would not bring up the U.S. embargo against the island nation, which Republicans in Congress oppose lifting.

So far, it seems that just one congressman publicly boycotted the pope's speech - Representative Paul Gosar, R-Arizona.
Goasr, a Catholic, wrote an op-ed on Friday saying he was at first excited to hear about the pope's visit, but decided not to attend the speech when he learned that the pontiff would be speaking mostly on climate change.
'It is difficult to convey the excitement I first felt when it was revealed that His Holiness Pope Francis was invited to Washington D.C. to address the world from the floor of the House of Representatives.
'Many believed, like I did, that this was an opportunity for the Pope to be one of the world’s great religious advocates and address the current intolerance of religious freedom....
'Media reports indicate His Holiness instead intends to focus the brunt of his speech on climate change–a climate that has been changing since first created in Genesis,' Gosar said.
When fellow congressmen heard about Gosar's decision, some were not thrilled.
'I don’t understand why anyone would do that,' Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida, who is also Catholic, told the Hill.
'I’m sure I’ll disagree with something the pope says. I mean, I don’t exactly agree with all of the Catholic Church’s views on contraception, for example. But I still embrace my religion. It’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit here and listen to the Holy Father,' Curbelo said.
On Wednesday, his first full day in the United States, Francis was greeted with pomp and ceremony at the White House, then crisscrossed Washington to huddle with bishops, greet ecstatic well-wishers, conduct mass and elevate a Franciscan friar to sainthood.
Francis was cheered by euphoric crowds with breathless wall-to-wall televised coverage as he toured Washington's stately boulevards.
Among the fans was five-year-old Sofia Cruz, US-born but whose parents are from Mexico, who clambered over a barrier, darted out onto Constitution Avenue and caught the attention of Francis - and of the world.
Sophie Cruz, 5, of suburban Los Angeles reaches to give Pope Francis a letter and t-shirt during a parade in Washington, DC on Wednesday
There are approximately 70million Catholics in the U.S. and about one-third of Congress are part of the church
'She handed the pope a letter asking him to support the drive to legalize undocumented migrants living in the United States,' her family's parish in Los Angeles said, contacted by AFP.
Cruz's ability to get past the parade barrier is raising some questions about the pope's security while touring the U.S.
While such an encounter is routine for Francis, who is known to wade freely into crowds to greet well-wishers, his security has been tighter during this visit.
On Wednesday, Francis was surrounded by a phalanx of security that include suit-clad Vatican security officers and Secret Service agents, uniformed federal agents and local police keeping most onlookers at a distance.
It's a far cry from the freewheeling motorcade routes of many of Francis' past pilgrimages, where he would hop on and off his popemobile to kiss babies and catch soccer jerseys thrown his way from ordinary folks who had done no planning other than to show up early to get a good spot.
For the first time, tickets were required for most of Francis' pope-mobile processions, and those lucky enough to get one through lotteries or their parishes still had to pass through metal detectors to get into position.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said that despite the tight security, Francis 'intends to move around as he usually does.'
Nearly all the pope's movements have been scripted well in advance and Secret Service agents are prepared for his inevitable spontaneous decisions to get closer to crowds along parade routes or outside other events in Washington, New York and Philadelphia, said Arnette Heintze, a retired senior Secret Service agent who worked on protection details for Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
Planning for Francis' visit has been in the works for nearly one year and included at least one visit to Rome by Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy and two senior agents assigned to the protection details.
Before any foreign trip by the pope, the Vatican's security team always engages in detailed negotiations with local security forces as part of the trip preparations.
Local security forces typically seek to seal off the pope as much as possible for fear that anything might happen to him on their watch; Francis, though, insists on being able to mix with the crowds, requiring a balancing act between the perceived threat levels and Francis' wishes.
The pontiff will address the United Nations Friday in New York, and wraps up his historic six-day US trip Saturday and Sunday in Philadelphia at an international festival of Catholic families.
