What should the next Pope call himself?

As we all know - or should by now - the Pope can, and usually does, choose a new name upon his election to the Papacy.

What should the new Pontifex call himself?

Pesonally, I would prefer something modern, like Elvis, but I doubt this will happen, so I would be satisfied with a return to the Urban series, because that name rocked too.

Please give suggestions. Maybe if we get enough good ones, we can send them to the vatican for consideration.

Point taken... out of curiosity could the pope ever justify such a name? I'm not at all in the know when it comes to what he can and can't do so could he ever form the inhabitants of the vatican into an elite fighting corps and go for world domination? ...man I play the Papal states in vicky too much...

i think they should just let the current pope rule from beyond the grave.they could jsut stick his rotting corpse in his throne, and just let him sit there.
at the risk of flaming, hatred and alienation, that's what they've been doing with him for the last couple years anyway.

Go Greek and get a Theophilos or a Theodosius. Nicholas would be cool too, but once again, way too Greek.

How many Pope Innocents have there been? That would be a good one.

Or maybe, since so many people are doubting the church, a Pope Thomas would be a good change of pace. Tell people it's okay to doubt things sometimes as long as you remain true to humanity and Christ.

Ooh, good point. Since Vatican II was a good thing (in my humble opinion), it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue that tradition. I think overall John Paul II did an awesome job. It'll be a hard act to follow.

This is a moot point since there's a list they've been going by for centuries. BTW, there's only going to be two more popes before the church falls. The last one betraying the church.

I agree.

If only the church wasn't against cloning...

We could clone the Pope and all the popes would by John Paul II clones!

Then they Catholic church would be perfect!

I, however, think all of the popes from now on should be Polish(or at least not Italian). Seeing how JP did such a good job, he was Polish, and the Italians have been Pope WAY too many time.

Another idea (which I doubt will go over very well, considering how many of the cardinals are European-- especially Italian) would be to get somebody from Africa or Latin/South America. Mexico on south is probably the strongest hold Catholicism has; it's certainly more thoroughly Catholic than, say, most of Europe. (France comes to mind... the churches there are all Catholic.... it's just that nobody gives a crap.)

How about we have another Leo? It's Latin for liion, and if you ask me, we need a pope that is willing to press the sticky issues. Specifically, I'd like to see a pope that is active in Muslim relations, and is working hard to reintergrate European and American Catholics.
