Pope Francis Shows Angry Side After Crowd Causes Him To Fall On A Disabled Man

Pope Francis rarely loses his cool. However, that wasn't the case when he showed a rare sign of anger and proved he is only human during his recent trip to Mexico, after an eager crowd tugged his arms and caused him to topple over.

Francis was at a stadium in the western city of Morella on Tuesday greeting fans when one person pulled at his robe and caused him to crash down into a wheelchair-bound man.

Sweet Lord! A Life-Size Chocolate Pope Francis

Pope Francis has been presented with a life-sized chocolate replica of himself, during a general audience at the Vatican.

The pontiff received the gift from master chocolatier Mirco Della Vecchia, who spent 30 days crafting the figure with his team of students. Mr Della Vecchia said 1.5 tons of cocoa was used for the replica - and that another 1.5 tons of chocolate would be donated to the umbrella Catholic charity organisation Caritas.

The chocolatiers worked on the figure with sculptor Paul Moro Belluno, who is renowned for his ability to make sculptures from unusual materials.

Pope Francis Inauguration Mass held at the Vatican

The inauguration Mass for Pope Francis has been held in St Peter's Square in Rome, marking the start of his papacy.

Francis earlier toured the square in an open-topped vehicle, descending to bless pilgrims behind the barriers.

His homily called on global leaders and all people of the world to protect the weak and the poor. Tens of thousands of pilgrims attended the Mass.

Francis was elected by a conclave of cardinals last week to take over from Benedict XVI.

Benedict became the first pontiff in 600 years to abdicate last month. Citing his age, 85, he said he could no longer continue in the post.

Potential Pope: WHO takes Over from Benedict XVI?

With Pope Benedict XVI now officially in retirement, Catholic cardinals from around the world begin on Friday the complex, cryptic and uncertain process of picking the next leader of the world's largest church. 



Some details are still unclear, owing to Benedict's break with the tradition that papacies end with a pope's death, so these "princes of the Church" will first hold an informal session before traditional rounds of talks begin on Monday.



No front-runner stands out among the 115 cardinal electors - those aged under 80 - due to enter the Sistine Chapel for the conclave that picks the new pope, so discreetly sizing up potential candidates will be high on the cardinals' agenda.

Lightning hits St Peter's After Pope Benedict Resignation. A signal from above?

A sign from GOD? As Lighting strikes the basilica of St.Peter's dome in Rome on the same day Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation.

The Catholic Church was thrown into turmoil today after Pope Benedict XVI made the shock decision to quit the papacy because of his deteriorating health.

In a decision that has surprised even his closest aides, the 85-year-old Pontiff said his strength was 'no longer adequate to continue in office due to his advanced age'.
