Tom McCarthy recounted the story during a Catholic gathering in Illinois, explaining that the incident occurred shortly after the Pope, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, assumed the papacy last year. After verifying his identity with security questions, the Pope was told he needed to visit the bank in person.
