Texas Rep. Michael McCaul's statement that agents had "disrupted" a potential threat against Pope Francis during his upcoming U.S. visit sent Philadelphia officials scrambling for information Monday - and questioning the warning itself. The city's top police official, Charles Ramsey says the threat had nothing to do with the Pope’s visit to Philadelphia. Today, ABC News is reporting a 15-year-old Philadelphia area boy has been taken into custody for allegedly planning an ISIS-inspired attack on Pope Francis during the pontiff's visit later this month.

World Meeting of Families organizers have announced actor Mark Wahlberg will emcee the Festival of Families lineup September 26th on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Marky Mark says, "As a Catholic, I credit much of my success to my faith. It is an honor to be a part of welcoming Pope Francis to Philadelphia and I am humbled to join this celebration." Organizers also announced more acts who will perform for the event and Pope Francis: soul icon Aretha Franklin, the rock band the Fray, comedian Jim Gaffigan and Philly's own Sister Sledge.

iRadioPhilly will carry LIVE BROADCASTS from the World Meeting of Families Events, Festival and the Papal Visit. For more information, go to Papal Visit Broadcast

Motorists will pay more to cross the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol bridges. Starting at 10 o’clock tonight, tolls will increase to $4 for motorists who pay cash and $3 for E-Z Pass customers. It is the first toll increase in 15 years at the bridges. The Burlington County Bridge Commission says the higher tolls are needed to fund improvements.
