Pope Francis Visits America

Pope Francis keeps up with his challenging schedule by maintaining a strict personal regimen. Reportedly, he is in his bedroom by 9pm, awakes at 4:00am (naturally), prays for 2 hours before seeing anyone, and takes at least one 40-minute nap during the day. His 6-day trip to Washington, New York, and Philadelphia in the United States will end on Sunday.
