An electrical fault led to the malfunction of the facility, thus holding the pope until Vatican’s firefighters intervened.

That made the pontiff arrived late for his weekly address in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday.

“I have to beg your pardon,” he said as he started the address about 10 minutes late, according to Reuters.
