Pope Francis boards the airplane on the occasion of his trip to Sri Lanka and Philippines, at Rome's Fiumicino International Airport, Monday, Jan. 12, 2015. The Pontiff embarks on his second Asian pilgrimage visiting Sri Lanka and the Philippines exactly 20 years after St. John Paul II's record-making visit to two countries with wildly disparate Catholic populations. Francis will make headlines of his own, drawing millions of faithful in the Philippines and treading unchartered political waters following Sri Lanka's remarkable electoral upset this week.(AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia)
