Even the Pope doesn't get respect.

Pope Leo called his bank to change his address and phone number; they hung up on him

“‘Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?’” the pope asked his bank, according to the Rev. Tom McCarthy, a longtime friend of the Chicago-born pontiff.

Well, from a security perspective, I can understand not changing letting someone call in to change the address on the Pope’s bank account.

Pope Leo is my homie, I grew up a block away from that crazy bastard. However it’s disappointing to hear that the rules don’t apply to him and he had to pull “the pope flex” to get his way. If a regular Catholic breaks the rules it’s a big deal but not for the pope. Not that I give a sh!t about anything religious but I’m just sayin’.

Prince Adewale Okonkwo, the son of a former government minister in Nigeria, had a similar problem with that bank. Fortunately, the Prince was able to get help from a US citizen who transferred the Prince $2,850. Then, the Prince rewarded him with 30% of $18.5 million dollars.

Going forward I'll bet that bank gets a lot of Popes calling them up...
