Pope Francis walks to the podium to address Congress.



CNN's live microphone caught an embarrassing comment from someone in the audience of Pope Francis' speech to Congress. The woman has not been identified, but as Pope Francis, the pope of popes, entered the chamber of the U.S. Congress, she can be heard saying wanted to "take my shoe off and throw it."



Watch and listen:
