New Pope Leo XIV visits Francis's tomb

Leo XIV prays at the tomb of Pope Francis two days after being elected new head of the Catholic Church and hours after vowing to humbly follow in his predecessor's footsteps.

The surprise visit to Santa Maria Maggiore, a papal basilica in Rome beloved of Francis, who died on April 21 at age 88, capped a busy day for Leo, the first US pope now charged with leading the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
