Next papal name. Place your Bets!

Shouldn’t that be : Episode DCLXVI ?
ETA :I’ve always been partial to Carbon XIV

Spooky. Tie that in with Sixtus VI somehow and let the conspiracy theories begin!

Pope Lando II. (Lando I was 913-914. The name Lando as a Pope name must be revived!)

Pope Conon II. (Conon I was 630-687. Not quite as awesome as Lando.)

But I really gotta go with Pope Cletus II. (Cletus I, 79-92.)

In a vote of confidence, Benedict XVI will be reappointed.

What, nobody mentioned Pope Sicola yet?

Seriously, I think it’ll be Paul. Pretty much the only name that won’t be considered is Peter; traditionally, only Simon Called Peter, considered the first Pope, can have that name.

With nothing to do with all her money, Oprah will buy the papacy and thus we will have:

Pope Harpo.

At least there will be no objectionable pronouncements. Well, none at all really.

Not Pope Rah?

Pope-A-Dope (Float like a cardinal, sting like a bishop.)

Pope Guido Sarducci

Ralph

I’m really hoping for a pope named Skip or Chet.

I opened this thread just to post that! Damn, a guy has to be quick around here. :slight_smile:

Wasn’t that Malcolm X’s kid brother?

Nicknamed “Chevy”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ayden I.

It’s coming, people. Just wait.

Oswald Leopold II

I think it should be Pope Kickass the First. Since he will likely have to save us from the Zombie Apocalypse.

Or he could be Pope Piel and sell us kitchen gadgets and Pocket Fishermen.

I’ve always had a soft spot for “Pope Guilty I.”

Perhaps a Latin American: Pope Jesus.

As we don’t really have emperors any more, I’d settle for a Pope Fabulous as well.

Pope Impius would also be quite good, if perhaps a bit less religiously devoted than one might hope of a pope.

Clement XV

Clement is a very traditional Pope name, but it’s not something like Boniface that would sound stupid to modern ears.

:smiley:

George: “I wanted to wear the shoes of the fisherman!”
Ringo: “Yeah, I got me own Pope clothes and everything.”
