An elderly Pope, arriving in New York, convinced his limousine driver to let him drive. Speeding at over 100 mph, he was pulled over. The shocked officer, seeing the Pope, told his sergeant he’d stopped someone more important than the President. “Who?!” the sergeant asked. “I don’t know… but the Pope’s driving for him,” the officer replied. In another tale, a priest, pulled over for speeding, smelled of alcohol. Denying drinking anything but water, he exclaimed, “Good Lord, He’s done it again!” when the officer noted the wine smell. These stories show even holy figures enjoy a bit of mischief, blending faith with humor.
