My vote for the name: The Papal Bulls.
The Cardinals would work.
This was my first thought.
The Holy Goalies.
The Padres
Comedy options:
The Devils
The Trojans
The Packers
The Funny Hats.
The Paul Bearers
The Smokin’ Popes.
The Crusaders?
Has to be the Cardinals or the Padres.
The All-Saints
JC United?
I dunno about the team name, but they’re inspirational teambuliding motto should point out that they are VatiCANs, not VatiCAN’Ts.
The Inquisition
(although I DO like “JC United”)
Deus Ex Machina should be fun, too.
What’s Latin for “hot man-boy love”?
The Holy Rollers.
During my (very brief) time in seminary, one of our intramural football teams (the seminarians had two or three teams) took the name ‘Hyperdulia’. Someone drew (and had printed on shirts to be used as jerseys) an image of the Virgin Mary in full pads (and old style leather helmet without facemask), in the classic Heismann stiff-arm pose, with a swaddled infant Jesus in place of the football. Good times.
The Primates.
1 often capitalized : a bishop who has precedence in a province, a group of provinces, or a nation
2 archaic : one first in authority or rank : LEADER
3 [New Latin Primates, from Latin, plural of primat-, primas] : any of an order (Primates) of mammals that are characterized especially by advanced development of binocular vision, specialization of the appendages for grasping, and enlargement of the cerebral hemispheres and that include humans, apes, monkeys, and related forms (as lemurs and tarsiers)
Do they have cardinals (the bird) in Italy?
How could they not win the Italian premier league? The pope just needs to threaten ex-communication on anyone who scores a goal against them.
My vote is for the Angels.
