So the Pope has gotten bored staying in the vatican for years on end

So the Pope has gotten bored staying in the vatican for years on end, so he decided to travel the world doing services and meeting cardinals and bishops around the globe. Despite all this travel, he, of course, never drives. He always has a different chauffeur to take him wherever he is going who always meet him at the airport and take him wherever he wants to go. The Pope misses driving, so one day he asks his driver, "Do you mind if I drive, just this once? I haven't driven ever since becoming pope."

Now, the chauffeur was a very pious man and didn't want to offend the Pope, but doesn't want to get in trouble with his boss. Eventually he decides that that it was a quick drive and that no one would know, so he agrees.

They both get in the car with the Pope in the driver's seat, but as soon as the car got out of the parking lot, the Pope started speeding, cutting people off, running red lights and stop signs, just driving terribly in general. The chauffeur is panicking. He would lose his job, surely. And yet, he doesn't say a thing, being too afraid to offend the Pope.

Sure enough, they get pulled over. As the cop walks up to the car, the chauffeur nearly faints. However, he takes one look in the window and turns right around and phones base.

"Sir, I've got a problem here. I've just pulled someone ever that is very important. I don't think I can book him."

The chief responds, "Too important? Impossible. Who is it, some celebrity?"

"More important sir."

"The mayor, then."

"Even more important."

"Governor?"

"More important, sir."

"The president?"

"Even more important."

The chief was stumped. "Well, who could it be?"

"Sir, I think it's god."

"What? Why could you possibly think that?"

"Well, sir, his chauffeur is the Pope."
