Pope gets stuck in traffic jam.

Trip to Brazil is proving memorable for some amusing reasons. Pope Francis has refused much of the pomp and circumstance usually accompanying the Pontiff. He dislikes the 'PopeMobile' preferring regular cars.

The driver of his van made a wrong turn today and the Pope found himself stuck behind a line of busses on a busy street. The crowds that were there to see him took advantage of the delay to swamp the van, poking their hands into the partially open windows.

A little scary for a moment but another story of how this is a Pope like no other.
