Call from the Pope was not a prank
Hang up on Pope Francis and you might get a hug.
Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano says Pope Francis dialled an ailing Italian man to comfort him. The Pontiff has a habit of calling people who he has heard are suffering and saying: “Hello, I’m Pope Francis,” when they answer their phone.
The newspaper said the man, Franco Rabuffi, hung up twice, thinking it was a prankster.
On the third call, he realised it truly was the Pope and was speechless. The paper says Pope Francis told Rabuffi he was amused.
Rabuffi and his wife were invited to the Pope’s public audience last Wednesday in St Peter’s Square, where head of the Catholic Church hugged them and assured them he really did dial the man’s phone.

Murder charge after fake eulogy
Police in South Africa say a man has been charged with his wife’s murder, days after local media reported that the heartfelt eulogy he delivered at her funeral was plagiarised.
