- pdabbadabba 2y agoHe could be! Popes pick their new names, after all. But yeah, he'd probably pick "Innocent" or something less amusing.
- madcaptenor 2y agoI do wonder what would happen if some cardinal already named John or Gregory or some other indisputably papal name got elected. Would he keep his name?
