Abandoning Rome for Avignon and exterminating the Knights Templar? Just a guess.

Hope its not Sicola…could bear Pope Sicola, even if he did satisfy the Church’s thirst for the Truth.

Good guess, and I should have thought of that. But no.Maximilian75:

I had in mind Clement XIV, known for suppressing the Jesuits.
But now that you mention it, that’s even a better idea: suppress the Jesuits, but revive the Templars as a military monastic order. Armed with modern weapons, of course.

Always a popular thread, but usually in the form of What is your favorite Papal name from the past. I have always liked Innocent and Pius, but I could see a Gregory, John, Paul, or Leo in the wings. Maybe even a JPIII.

I think a return to Benedict XVI’s way of being pope would be a wonderful thing. That’s why I chose Benedict XVII. It would be a fitting thing to do while Benedict XVI yet lives, I also think, a token, if you will, of the esteem and love with which he is held by the faithful.

Well… the Old Jesuits were so cool - Watch The Mission sometime. I really don’t know why they were suppressed back then…
The New Jesuits (Ie the left leaning, academic, rather heterodox ones that emerged in the mid to late 20th century, I agree.

It would not surprise me in the least if Pope Francis turns out to be the first in a three or four hundred year long unbroken series of Jesuit popes.
I will always cherish the Jesuits of the pre- and post-suppression eras. Our own North American martyrs are Jesuits.

all i can say is that for now we’ve had a pope who lessens the fear for those who might want to come back to the church. And that is good. Maybe for someone who “regrets her abortion”; or a gay person who’s wondering if the church will accept him or her for personhood only, etc.
But i hope the next pope is more of a combination of doctrine and mercy (more on doctrine). Relativism as a philosophy has to end, with insightful homilies, explanations of what Jesus meant in the gospels, and how He wants us with Him, not away from Him. And with an emphasis of mercy and grace that shows God loves us.

I doubt it; there aren’t that many Jesuit bishops around, much less Cardinals.porthos11:

I would say that’s almost always true.
A pope’s name is a preview for his papacy

When Pope Benedict chose his name, my thought was that he was going to be a “no-nonsense” pope. The name Benedict in the papacy has gone back years ago.

If the Pope were to keep his own name, I’d certainly be up for Pope Robert. About time we had another African Pope, too.

That’s not going to happen. He’s been reprimanded and publicly corrected by Pope Francis, and his vision is vastly at odds with the Pope’s. Whoever the next pope is is going to be elected specifically to carry on with Pope Francis’s vision. Someone like Reinhard Marx. Only a handful of cardinals want to return to the PR disaster of his predecessor. Sarah is even more gaffe-prone.
