Pope Francis In New York

When retired New York City teacher Rosalie Frangella's marriage ended in the 1980s, she might one day have hoped to wed again - except for the big money that her local Catholic church wanted in order to issue her with an annulment.

A four-door hatchback Pope Francis used while visiting New York in September has fetched $300,000 at auction, said the website that held the sale.

It's a rare chance to own a mini-Popemobile, but the price tag of the four-door hatchback is steep: $195,000 as of Wednesday, with a day to go in bidding.

Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne are two of the world's best cricket players, which means little to the bulk of Americans.

Pope Francis met secretly while in the United States with a Kentucky county clerk who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing her lawyer.

A Hindu community leader and two prominent Sikhs will be among a select group of inter-faith leaders who will participate in a prayer service led by Pope Francis during his visit to the 9/11 memorial in New York this week.

Pope selfies, a basilica made of Lego, even pope-themed toast: Pope Francis has been popping up all over the northeastern United States ahead of his visit next week.

Next week's visit by Pope Francis presents an unprecedented security challenge to US authorities, particularly in New York where his heavy schedule coincides with 170 leaders descending on the United Nations.
