[quote name='God Conquers' date='Jan 16 2004, 03:38 PM']I wanna see another Pope Gregory, or Urban, or Innocent. But not with a dual name. Keep it simple.
Do you think there will ever be another Pope Peter?

I'm not sure.. Peter is such a beautiful name, though. I also like the idea of a Pope Joseph, since St. Joseph is the protector of the Church, and so is the Holy Father.

Sure there'll be another Peter, Peter the Roman, silly... j/k

IMO, no pope will take the name Peter, out of humility.

Pope Stanislaus has a nice ring to it.

Why do the Popes only seem to choose names from a short list. Like why not choose something new like Francis or Christopher or Justin honouring other Saints?

I know a lot of times they honour their predecessors in choicing the same name. But why nothing new?

Pope Francis would be cool. I guess some pope's feel like it's too gutsy to choose a new name that has never been used before, so they pick from the short list.

I also would not be in favor of a new Pope Peter. Even though Peter is my middle name!
