Bridge from El Paso to Mexico draws papal enthusiasts

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Pope Francis won’t step foot in El Paso on Wednesday, but his presence across the border in Ciudad Juarez was still being widely felt in the West Texas city.
Thousands of people from El Paso as well as other parts of the U.S. were expected to make the short trip over the various bridges that link the cities to attend an outdoor Mass that is expected to be attended by more than 200,000 people and will cap Francis’ visit to the Latin American country.
