Pope Francis phoned a Spanish convent on New Year's Eve because they were celebrating 400 years as a convent. But the nuns did not answer so the Pope had to leave a voice message. He is quoted as saying, "What are you doing that's so important you can't pick up the phone? This is Pope Francis.
I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year.
I'll see if I can call you back later.
God bless you." The Carmelite convent is in Lucena, near Cordova, Spain.
The call, came at 23:45 local time, was followed shortly after by a second call from the pontiff lasting 20 minutes.
Pope Francis has acquired the nickname of the 'cold-call pope' for his unannounced personal phone calls to the faithful.FOR BREAKING NEWS AND MORE LIKE US ON FACEBOOK NOW
