Francis has a General Assembly on Wednesdays, where thousands of people congregate in the square in front of St Peter's to see/hear him. It starts at 10AM, but I assume that's when people are asked to arrive. (There's no charge, but it's ticketed to keep things orderly.)

They were eagerly waiting for the moment. When the two of them met privately for over an hour, the wingers were stunned. (It's likely that they were discussing the Cuba situation, which made the loons even angrier when it came out.)
