Pope Leo XIV has now undergone the final formal ceremonies as the new pope and can thus also call himself bishop of Rome, a title and responsibility that comes with the office of pope.
After Sunday's high masses in the Lateran Basilica and Santa Maria Maggiore, Leo XIV was welcomed by Rome's mayor Roberto Gualtieri.
The Pope said to him and all inhabitants of the million-city that he feels a "passionate responsibility" to serve all.
With my title, I can say today that for you and with you, I am a Roman! he said.
