A US-born pope marked the Fourth of July in a unique way. He traveled to a Sicilian island to pay respects to those who died seeking a better life. This visit comes as the US celebrates a major anniversary.

The pope's actions are notable given his past disagreements with US officials. After visiting a cemetery, he attended a Mass for island residents. Later, he made a rare visit to the US ambassador's residence.

Further details about the pope's visit and his meeting with the ambassador are available from CBS Texas.
