Pope surprises newspaper seller with phonecall

Pope Francis, who is earning a growing reputation as a 'regular guy', surprised his newspaper vendor at home with a phonecall.

Kiosk owner Daniel del Regno said he got a call from the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires to say he would regrettably be cancelling his subscription.

The 36-year-old had been delivering the paper to the archbishop's office since 2005.

He said their relationship was not just commercial but personal since the archbishop baptized del Regno's son in June of last year on the church feast day, Corpus Christi.
