In today's world, I don't really think that come in for an in-person confirmation is that bad of a thing. So much social engineering happens to specifically take over an account. Hanging up on the Pope does seem extreme, but at the same time, the odds of the Pope calling would be very low and a very strange one. You gotta imagine the number of crank calls and unruly callers the people have to deal with on a daily. The whole thing just made me think that the Pope would still have personal accounts. Does he still use his personal AOL email address? All of those things we take for granted, but nobody ever changes to a for life new persona like this.
