Popes choose their new names carefully, in order to express something.

For instance Cardinal Ratzinger chose Benedict because he loved st Benedict and also admired of Pope Benedict XV for his work in favor of world peace.

So I was wondering what name will the next Pope choose.

Maybe he will choose Pius XIII, if he want to define the dogma of Mary mediatrix of all graces (since Pius IX was the last Pope to define a dogma).

Or maybe John XXIV or Paul XVI he wants to convoke the Church to a new Vatican Council.
What do you think will be the name that he will choose?

PS (Sorry, in the poll it says John XIV it should say John XXIV, did not know how to correct it :o)
 
I’m also expecting Gregory. For what its worth, this was something I dreamed. Which probably just means I need less caffeine before bed. Because I also dreamed it was a frenchman.
 
I predict, for whatever that’s worth…(nothing)…that it will be Leo XIV. But I would love Gregory XVII!

God bless.

-Paul
 
It would be very odd indeed if he chose Paul XVII considering there have been only six previous Popes named Paul, or John XIV since Pope John XIV reigned gloriously from the throne of Peter in 984. 😉

I have a feeling that the next Pope will choose the name Gregory XVII to emphasize the need for continuing liturgical reform in the Church.
 
Since we’ve already had John and Paul,
maybe George or Ringo ? 😉
 
John XX. You know, to fix that spot in the list finally.

You mean besides John Paul II?

Also, I’m voting for Pope Ignatius I
 
Its almost surprising at the number of names that HAVEN’T been used. no Matthew, no Luke, no George, no Michael, no David, no Anthony, no Francis, etc., etc., etc.
 
Petrus Romanus…insert crazed debunked end world prophecy about st. malachy/malachi here
 
Okay, so it would have to be a Black Pope, but Lando II would be an awesome name if Peter Turkson became pope:D Sorry. In all seriousness, I think he will probably go with John XXIV. I would love though if he revived a name like Alexander or Clement or Gregory.
 
Pope Victor V if from Africa
Pope Isaac if from Canada
Pople Gabriele Maria if from China
Pope Thomas if from India
Pope Francis Xavier if from Japan
Pope Juan Diego if from South America
