It's Malachy Month!

More prophecy fun with Gloria Olivae..

Tempted to put all Lustigery aside for a moment.. The other word on the ground floor is the next Pope may simply name himself Benedict XVI.. (the Olivetans being a branch of the order of St. Benedict)

You know I've had my eye on this one too. :)

Given that popes get too choose their names, why do they always choose the same ones? It's as bad as French kings.

Had wondered the same thing myself, but then Googled How the Pope chooses his name. Sweet.

Interesting. I'd like to see another Julius. He could go around in a chariot wearing a laurel wreath, with a flunkey whispering "Remember you are mortal" in his ear.

Isn't it going to be te name CLEMENT? have you happened across this anywhere?

Had seen the name Clement floating around on the net, but thought it was traced back to one particular person/website. If I recall, it didn't explain how they determined the name (well, they said simply from Malachy, but M never named names as such).

Have you got anything more on Clement? Gotta make the most of this while it lasts. (-:

Dude, I about nearly crapped em' when I read this...

What are the odds?

Yeah, a few heads turned at work when I spotted that today too.. Thanks for making sure. (-:

Dunno what to make of it yet. I'm skeptical by default, but can't think why they'd want to set it up.
