T-shirts of Rocky and the pope, as well as dolls of the pair, have become the best-selling souvenirs over this past weekend.
But the best way to ascertain the true amount of support for the pontiff was to count the flags waving across the historic city’s major avenue.
Sunday’s Mass marked the first time he had seen the pope in person.
At one end of the avenue lies the city’s art museum, whose steps have become a tourist icon after they were famously used in fictional boxer Rocky Balboa’s training regime in the 1976 Sylvester Stallone movie.
With the banners of Argentina and Mexico the most visible, Latin America was well represented with the colors of El Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Venezuela also in evidence.
