Pope Leo said on Friday he hoped that his election can help the Catholic Church bring light to the "dark nights of this world" as he delivered his first Mass since being elected on Thursday.

Leo, the first pope from the U.S., told cardinals in the Sistine Chapel that he hoped to be a "faithful administrator" for the entire Church, and added that the Church should identify itself through the holiness of its members and not "the grandeur of her buildings."
