one thing that's not in the social doctrine of the church. here in washington, the pope will sit down with president obama, who has called him a transformative leader. on thursday, he will deliver a speech to congress, a papal first. >> i think the things we'll hear, are income disparities and the poor. something about the environment. and also, something about migrants and refugees. >> reporter: the visit is an immense security challenge. large crowds expected in every city. but true to the humble nature of pope francis, this isn't just v.i.p. speeches. instead of dining with people in congress, people, in a tent set up outside on the street. makes francis so popular. for the first time in 20 years, a majority of american catholics say the church is in touch with their views. and nine in ten say they approve the direction francis is taking the church. phillip and reena, that direction has been a big shift

a statement, as well. >> you mentioned tens of thousands of people that will be there today. a lot of preparation going on at the nation's capital. what's the feeling like, now that he's finally arrived? >> reporter: so much excitement has been buzzing in the capital for a couple of days. one security official said, it's like having an inauguration, over the course of a morning, an afternoon, and the next day and afternoon. inauguration after inauguration. the security presence is immense. the road closures are going to be stretching through many parts of the city today and tomorrow. in fact, people are being encouraged to stay home from work and commute -- work from home if they can. i'm keeping my daughter home from day care today and tomorrow because it's just not worth it to try to bring people down in vehicles. there's a local news site that had a headline, sums it all up. it just said, seriously, don't drive in washington while the pope is here. i think that point, hopefully, will get across to people. home. >> good advice there.

standing firm. not signing the marriage licenses. though her deputies are. your name is not on the licenses. in your mind, are they valid? >> they're not valid in god's eyes. i have given no authority to write a marriage license. >> reporter: to defend that principle, davis spent six days in jail. one of the voters who finally received a marriage license, said he finally felt human. people will question why is your moral conscience, kim, more important than someone else's happiness? >> i think dignity is something you find within yourself. i feel really sad that someone could be so unhappy with themselves as a person, that they did not feel dignified as a human being, until they got a piece of paper. >> reporter: it's not just a piece of paper to some people. and it's not a piece of paper to you. >> but that's what it took to

this morning on "world news now," the pope touches down as the historic visit gets under way. pope francis and his big day ahead, including the massive security effort along the entire east coast. we're live in d.c. with a full report. and the other visit. the president of china also here in the u.s. ahead of this week's state dinner. will president obama be able to calm the tensions and strike a deal on some very tough issues? and new this half hour, trump on late-night. >> doing some damage control last night. and trying to recapture the energy of the summer. but there was one question the donald would not answer. and hollywood's war of words. sean penn going after the creator of the hit show, "empire," with a massive lawsuit. what was said on that show that got penn seeing red. and how much green he's looking to get for it.

wednesday, september 23rd. good morning, everyone. so, let's start this half hour with pope francis. the 78-year-old leader of the catholic church, ready for a very busy day in our nation's capital. >> francis is the fourth pope to visit the united states. after flying from cuba, he said at the vatican's diplomatic residence overnight. >> a group of children greeted him singing and waving the flag of argentina. abc's terry moran is traveling with the pope. >> reporter: as the papal plane touched down in the u.s., the crowd here started up a very american cheer. ho, ho, hey, hey welcome to the usa >> reporter: they rolled out the red carpet. the obamas and the bidens took their places. and there he was. the man in white, who has touched so many with his gift for simplicity. on a windy afternoon, he removed his zucchetto from his head.

the president greeting him warmly. a moment of laughter between the two. and meeting the families and walking past the honor guard. when it was time to go, a signature francis moment, with with the president's limo, dubbed the beast, hulking nearby, the pope squeezed himself into a fiat and began his journey. the greeting just hours after francis' final moments in cuba, meeting with families. we're boarding the papal airplane now, bound for the united states. just 90 miles across the florida straits, but a world away. onboard, the cameras were lined up. and we took off with a seatback screen view, leaving cuba behind. and francis answered some questions, declaring he would not mention the u.s. embargo to cuba. and taking on the conservative critique of him, when asked about this "newsweek" cover. is the pope catholic?

leftist, he said. but this is in error. i'm certain i have not said one thing that's not in the social doctrine of the church. francis is a man who knows exactly the kind of controversy he creates. and so, his mission here in america, he wants to push the progressive agenda on inequality and climate change. while reassuring skeptics on the right, it's all part of the gospel of jesus christ. terry moran, abc news, joint base andrews, maryland. the president and his family were there to greet francis. this morning, the obamas are hosting a formal welcoming ceremony for the pope at the white house. >> from there, francis will ride the popemobile a few short blocks to st. matthew's cathedral for a prayer service. this afternoon, he will say mass at the basilica at the national shrine. it will be the first canonization mass on american soil. he will make a missionary a saint, a missionary that also founded the california network of missions. >> there will be so many people

at today's mass, planners say there will be at least 140 positions at which communion will be distributed. some monks living in washington simply can't wait. >> tune your ears because he's coming, specifically, to say something. and i think that we need to be ready to hear whatever it is that he has to say. >> while plenty of people will be listening to his scripted words, francis is a pope known for unscripted moments. during his u.s. visit, he will have plenty of opportunities for those, including visits with immigrants, prisoners and the homeless. >> it's an immense challenge to protect a pope that loves to wade into the crowds to connect with ordinary people. >> security measures are in place for thousands, who plan to turn out to see pope francis, in washington, new york and philadelphia. barricades have been set up. manhole covers have been sealed. snipers are in place. and miles of city streets will be closed at a time. there's right now no specific plot or threat.

an eye out for possible attackers, ranging from isis to the mafia, even lone wolves. let's get more on francis' visit. for that, we go live to washington. >> abc's karen travers is on capitol hill. good morning, karen. the white house has hosted many world leaders. give us a sense of how this morning's event might be different. >> reporter: this feels bigger and better for americans than some of the world leader events, phillip. this is going to be 15,000 people later this morning on the south lawn at the white house. you could get tickets. you could get them through the white house. and it's going to be a wide range of people. and i think if you look at this, compared to a world leader coming, it's more personal for americans. 22% of americans identify themselves as catholic. that's nearly 70 million people. so, there's that connection to pope francis that, perhaps, you don't see when a world leader comes, no matter how big the events are. back in 2007, queen elizabeth of england came to the white house. and i was there for that.

numbers. that was only 7,000 people. tomorrow, twice as people will be there, later this morning. going to be quite an event. >> there is controversy about junipero serra. he's the man who will be canonized as a saint later today. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: this is a very historic moment later today, reena. this would be the first catholic saint canonized on u.s. soil. there's some controversy. serra has come under fire from native americans who say that the 18th century missionary mistreated indigenous populations. forced conversions, enslaving converts. he's been hailed as a hero in california, founding 21 missions there. there will be protests. we heard about some native americans who were there yesterday, at the basilica, who are planning to be there today for the mass, as well. >> all right. let's talk vehicles and that fiat at the airport.

lots of buzz over his choice of wheels. why is that? >> reporter: wasn't that amazing yesterday? you had president obama's vehicle, known as the beast, which is a very sturdy vehicle, that limousine. and there's pope francis, jumping into a fiat, with two guys in the front seat. he crammed into the backseat. and the first thing he did yesterday was roll down the window so he could wave, setting off the heart attacks among the secret service. they know this is the thing he likes to do. that motorcade wound through the streets of washington, before making its way to the vatican embassy last night, where the pope was going to sleep. many people turning out to get a glimpse. there was a lot of videos on twitter saying, that car he's driving, it's so little. later today, he'll trade that in for the popemobile when he does a parade around the white house area. so, much more familiar sightseeing the pope in that white vehicle. but of course, he's going to be there waving, trying to get as close to the crowds as he can. >> karen, you might want to ask him to keep standing by if there's a government shutdown at

the end of this month. the president might need it. >> reporter: yes. littler cars for everybody. >> exactly. karen travers in washington. thank you so much. >> stay with abc news throughout the morning for more live coverage of pope francis in america. the president of china has also arrived in the u.s., ahead of a state dinner at the white house in his honor. president xi jinping said that china is ready to set up a joint effort with the united states to fight cyber crime. his statement comes when hacking attacks are approaching epidemic levels. and the chinese president will be in seattle, where he announced an agreement with the u.s. to advance renewable energy. tensions remain as he prepares to be hosted by president obama friday night. the smog test scandal engulfing volkswagen is widening with a startling admission from the automaker. volkswagen says 11 million of its diesel cars worldwide,
