If you were elected as the next Pope, what papal name would you choose?

He expects to follow Pope Kiril.

I thought everybody knew that Microsoft has already purchased the Catholic church.

Pope Muhammad would be fine if you simply called it Pope Antonius. Since both names mean the same thing; praiseworthy.

Pope Onarope would be tempting but Pope Anastasia because it has a regal quality about it that appeals to me.

And my first order of business would be to replace the Popemobile with the Batmobile. Or a donkey. I’m not sure which.

Pope Kickass Fucknut

zombie or no

il

then i would start doing tv commercials.

May as well do the full monty – Pope Chuck Norris

Pope Loki

Since Pope Innocent is taken, I will go with Pope Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity.

How about Pope Innocent Bystander?

nvm

Just the first thing that came to mind: Pope Adope.

I should hope that my successor would choose to be Pope Onnarope, though that might be tempting fate.

Pope PeterofRome, just so I could claim to be the final pope, send everybody home to await the Rapture and liquidate the art and jewelry collections in peace.

Gotta love Zombie threads

Pope Iman

Fun two ways

I haven’t checked to see if this is a dupe, but I’m going for that Irish-Korean appeal: O’Rhee

I’d use my Yiddish name, which is Moish. Pope Moish Ultimus (because there wouldn’t be any Catholic church when I got through with it.

My impression is that, during the election, the College of Cardinals pauses to allow the possibility of divine intervention guiding their hand. With God guiding their choice, they could choose literally anyone, and the Church would just have to deal with it. I recall one story in Analog science fiction magazine that had the cardinals all choose an American named Dave, much to their consternation.

James Cameron.

I would choose the most obscure name on the list, like say Pope Zosimus.

Someone beat me to Sidious by four years :frowning:

Pope Aaron E. Pizza
