If you were elected Pope, what would you call yourself?

[Your Funny Uncle]

one thing for sure this aint a topic you'd be able to start at a fundi christian forum without getting perma banned...

Sad that... Why should church leaders be any less open to ridicule than other people in positions of power? That said, if I'd started a similar thread about Iranian ayatollahs in a Muslim fundi forum I might have a fatwah against me by now...

Edit: Thinking about it, I know a Baptist lady from my old work and she was dead against the Pope's recent visit to the UK. She was saying very nasty things about him on Facebook so maybe I'd be OK depending on the denomination! :lol:

 

[Squawk]

Deceptimus Devious the first

Deceptimus Devious the first

Hee hee! I like that one! Along the same lines: Unscrupulous Maledictus I.

 

[Andiferous]

Pope Poppa Palpatine.

I do wish Ratzi had chosen Palpatine has his Pope-name though.

Me too! I was saying the same thing to my wife last night when we were discussing this issue. Actually Pope Vader would be a quite good successor to my Lando... "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

There has to be a connection between the two... Lucas made an evil pope of the dark side. Or do I imagine it's not obvious to the name-maker? I guess if it's a little anagram to papal -tine I'd have to puzzle over what the tine is. Unless it's just meant to distinguish pope-likeishness. Kinda another made up word for Papalishness. Papaltinie-shness! Black pope with two letters reversed to prevent immediate excommunication.

Or am I just as crazy as I sound?

I suspect it's great luck Benedict looked like him too.

 

[masterjedijared]

Pope Maximus Hatimus

 

[MRaverz]

Pope Lucifer the second.


Then everyone would wonder who Pope Lucifer the first was. ;D

You might be on to something you know... There's a definite democracy vs theocracy theme going on in the Star Wars films.

 

[Yfelsung]

Just thought of another:

Pope Megatron the First.

Or Popetomis Prime.

 

[Laurens]

Pope Blatantly Fallible CCLVI

 

[Moky]

Popatine.

 

[australopithecus]

Or Popetomis Prime.

Literally word perfect what I just thought of. Damn it. :cry:

Pope Kal-El.

 

[TheFlyingBastard]

PedoPope: Keeping the church just the way it is since 2010!

 

[DepricatedZero]

Pope Zero

And then I would star in coke commercials

 

[Mapp]

Pope Luther Zwingli Calvin I, just to piss them off further.

 

[Pulsar]

There has to be a connection between the two...

Star Wars Episode VII - A New Pope.

 

[nemesiss]

Pope Zero

And then I would star in coke commercials

and you would be sponsored by pizza hut

 

[DutchLiam84]

Pope Condonus Pedophilius

 

[Laurens]

Pope Cunty McCuntus

 

[nemesiss]

if we ever get a pope with this name, im converting to christianity.

pope ingens desidiosus franga bovis merda

 

[Anachronous Rex]

Pope Anachronous, of course. I would then procede to re-instute the crusades, as well as the dogma that to kill a saracen is not a sin, and declare Alec Baldwin Lord of Jerusalem.

Alternatively:
Popesicle.
