Asian Catholics Welcome Pope Francis
Catholics in the Philippines welcome the new the pope - Argentina's Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio - with a prayer. Filipino Catholics say they will throw their support behind the 76-year-old pope, and are optimistic that he can deal with the church's challenges. Faithful in Beijing offered up prayers of their own. Beijing and the Vatican broke formal diplomatic relations shortly after the Chinese Communists took power in 1949. The Vatican says it is willing to start talks with China.
