Pope Francis stops after Mass to kiss a few disabled children.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Shortly after his arrival Saturday in Philadelphia, Pope Francis attended Mass at the Basilica.



During his homily he talked about acknowledging immigrants, prison inmates and the sick.



Leading by example, the pope stopped by the chapel of immaculate conception, where some 500 people watched the Mass, after the ceremony to bless disabled children in wheelchairs.
