Any bets on the Papal Name? (And yes, there are already Irish bookmakers taking bets and giving odds on this stuff)

Top choices:
Pius XIII (Oddsmakers' favorite, 9-2 odds)
Leo XIV (Betters' current favorite)
John Paul III (5-1 odds)
John XXIV (10-1 odds)
Benedict XVII (12-1 odds)

Some other options:
Paul VII
Clement XV
Gregory XVII
Innocent XIV


My favorite option:
Sixtus VI, just for the trollish aspect (Sixtus the Sixth). And then when he falls ill, the prophecies shall be fulfilled! (Sick Sixtus Sixth...the Tongue Twister of the Beast)

Benedict XVII? Has anyone ever just named themselves after the previous pope?

Fiiine, I give in:

Neon Papal Evangelion

Happy? v:

Yes, now I'm imagining a magical girl series based around the cardinals and the pope. Who are all teenage Japanese girls who use superpowers to battle Satan and are really awkward in High School.

I think that anime already exists, though.

Benedict XVII? Has anyone ever just named themselves after the previous pope?

All the damn time.

John Paul I, John Paul II
Pius IV, Pius V
Pius VI, Pius VII
Pius XI, Pius XII
Clement IX, Clement X
Clement XIII, Clement XIV


there's more, that's just in the last 400 years.


If I was Da Pope, I'd also be sorely tempted to troll conspiracy/prophecy nuts and go with Peter II. There hasn't been a Pope Peter since the very first Pope, St. Peter. And the Prophecies of Malachy call the supposed Last Pope (which this will supposedly be, #266) Petrus Romanus, "Peter the Roman". If the new Pope turns out to be an Italian and dubs himself Peter II....Church be trollin'. Especially since the Left Behind books also feature a Pope Peter II who is part of the Satanic new world order.

Many times, I think there were three consecutive Piuses in latest century?

EDIT: Ninja'd :c

Argentinian pope it seems.

Edit: Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, Jesuit cardinal of Buenos Aires, AKA pope Francis the first.

[Cthulhu]

I already know who won.

[GreatJustice]

Here's to a Pope Urban IX!

[MonkeyHead]

Argentinian guy apparently - Runner up behind Ratzinger last time around. Waiting on his name...

Edit: Name is "Francis" apparently.
