We are having to wait until the Pope settles back in Rome to get an idea of what happened while he was in the US (a.k.a: upstaging).
Francis may have brought the House down in DC, but it's Xi Jinping who really rocked da house in the West Coast.
It's a convoluted piece from the Asia Times that I really don't understand:

Also, as the Pope was leaving, 60 Minutes was interviewing Putin and Trump, pictures of the Pope's 'flying cape' appear along with an announcement of a 'Pope' music CD going on sale. All of these events either add to or take away from the intention/emotion/popularity of the Pope's visit. Very subtle, but it is there.
