He wouldn’t answer the “call of God”!

An Italian man hung up on the pope twice because he thought he was a prank caller pretending to be the pontiff, he admitted.

Franco Rabuffi had written Pope Francis a letter asking for support because he was sick — but he never dreamed he would actually speak to his holiness, Rabuffi told the Vatican newspaper l’Osservatore Romano.

When Francis called him Monday, Rabuffi slammed down the phone on him two times. But Francis — who just laughed it off — called Rabuffi back a third time and convinced him he was the real deal, Rabuffi said.

“I was speechless, but Francis came to my rescue, saying that what had happened was funny,” Rabuffi told the paper.

Rabuffi apologized to the pope for the mistake in front of the Vatican’s general audience with his wife Wednesday.

The pontiff grinned and gave him a hug.

Pope Francis randomly contacts strangers who write to him about problems, earning the nickname “the Cold-Call Pope.”

Last month, he called an Argentinian journalist to discuss his column.

In 2013, he called to comfort a pregnant woman whose married boyfriend had tried to pressure her to have an abortion.
