In what has garnered lots of applaud for the Pontiff, Pope Francis on Thursday stopped his motorcade and came down from his car – the Pope mobile – to attend to a policewoman who was thrown off her horse, in Iquique, Chile.
The Bishop of Rome is wrapping up his visit to the country on Thursday with an open-air mass celebration in Iquique, before heading to Peru for the final leg of his two-nation trip.
Recall that the Pope made history earlier today by performing a wedding ceremony for two flight attendants on board a plane travelling from Chilean capital, Santiago to Iquique.
