Pope Says Got Stuck in Vatican Lift, Freed by Fireman

Pope Francis said Sunday he was late to his weekly Angelus prayer because he had been stuck in a Vatican elevator and had to be freed by firemen.

"I have to apologize for being late. I was trapped in a lift for 25 minutes, there was a power outtage but then the firemen came," the smiling 82-year old pontiff said.
