@apnews: I had arrived at John Prevost’s home in New Lenox in the early evening after packing up and driving three hours from Indianapolis, where I am based. After walking by other media and news equipment outside, I knocked on the door. Prevost let me come in. As we talked, a ringing came from the basement. Prevost hurried to a tablet downstairs and I followed, my camera on. “That might be the pope,” he said. He found he had a few missed phone calls from his brother. He called the pope back, using a speaker to play the audio out loud. The pope picked up.
