VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has made the first Sunday window appearance of his papacy to a crowd of more than 100,000 in St. Peter’s Square.

Breaking with tradition, Francis delivered off-the-cuff remarks, about God’s power to forgive, instead of reading from a written speech. The crowd roared in delight.
