CWN Editor's Note: In a brief exchange with an NBC News reporter following last evening’s concert in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo said that “nothing is set in stone yet, but I certainly hope to be there [in the United States] soon.”
The Pontiff also reflected on being the first American pope and spoke briefly about his ancestry, which includes slaves and slave owners.
