Next papal name. Place your Bets!

The most recent Pi(o)us Pope died in 1958.
The most recent Innocent Pope died in 1724.

Look all the way back to post #3

Any reason Pope Steven X can’t be used? There were nine other Pope Stevens in the past. The last one was in 1058. I know nothing about Catholic history. Was Steven IX a tyrant or something?

Pope Larry I

WTF was that?:eek:

How about Pope Henry VIII, just to screw with people’s heads?

Of course there’s the whole English Schism thing, along with the fact that there’s never been a pope named Henry, but that just adds to the mystique.

That was Sylvester! Neither gay history nor music history would be complete without him.

Any votes for Elvis?

Yeah, there are.

One Vote for Pope-no Toad. All Glory To The Pope-No Toad!

Got to be Pope Chuck.

The guy makes a compelling case.

Pope Twink

Pope Chauncy. Because I saw a “Friends” rerun the other day.

Pope “Hitler did nothing wrong”. Although I’m sure some would argue that we’ve basically had that already.

I would really like a Pope Linus II. Peanuts fans would rejoice!

Ok, I did not see that coming! Excepting John Paul, that is a new name after how long?

1100 years! The last original Pope name was Lando in 913!

Now I’m picturing Billy Dee Williams in papal gear.

I always did.:cool:

I can’t believe he’s the first Francis. It seems like a name that would already have been done.

(I wrote this post like an hour ago and just realised I never pressed submit.)

So we’ve got a woman Pope now, do we? At least the altar boys will be safe now. You never have to worry about women messing about with the children.
