Pope Francis embraces Emeritus Pope Benedict as Holy Door opens - Daily Mail

Pope Francis declared that mercy trumps moralising in the Catholic Church as he opened a special Holy Year marked by unprecedented security aimed at thwarting a Paris-style attack at the Vatican. Security was tight, with police and civil protection crews checking bags and passing metal-detecting wands over each of the tens of thousands of people including nuns (left) attending the Mass. Priests also stopped to take selfies in St Peter's Square (right). Some 5,000 extra police, carabinieri and soldiers were deployed around Rome, and a no-fly zone imposed on its skies, to protect the pilgrims who are flocking to the city on foot, by car, train and plane to participate. The celebration was capped with the opening of the basilica's big bronze Holy Door through which upward of 10 million pilgrims will pass over the course of the year. A frail-looking former Pope Benedict, 88, made one of his few appearances since his shock resignation in 2013, embracing Francis before the holy door (inset).
