“I have to beg your pardon,” the smiling pontiff said as he started the address about 10 minutes late.
He then explained that there had been an electrical power problem in the Vatican and that he had been stuck in the elevator until freed by Vatican fire officers.
“A round of applause for the fire brigade,” he told the crowd.
