Pope Francis arrived in Philadelphia Saturday morning–the final stop on his historic, three-city U.S. trip. Crowds gathered at dawn there amid high security as Francis prepared to promote religious freedom in the birthplace of American independence. The city awoke to 8-foot-tall mesh fences, concrete barriers and bike racks lining the streets. Airport-style security — including TSA agents — was installed for the pontiff’s visit. He arrived at the City of Brotherly Love after taking off from from New York’s JFK airport at 9:10 a.m.
