I liked the examples of people meeting him and saying “Don’t you know who I am?”

How arrogant. Why don’t they just introduce themselves,

“Hi, Monsignor Pope, I’m John, Melanie’s son.”

“Hi, Monsignor, my father just died, I’m his daughter, Jennifer.”

Really, until Father calls me by name I don't assume that he knows who I am. To many people for them to know us all. Plus the way they move priests these days.

I think people forget that we only have one or two priests to keep track of at a time. They can have 1000 or more.

I know what you mean. If I know I have met someone before, I will still say my name, as I don’t expect that person to remember it. He might remember that we had met on such-and-such an occasion, but it is a little silly to expect everyone to remember may name, especially since I don’t always remember someone’s name. Not the least bit insulted by it.
