A pope with a good sense a humor could possibly pick a name that would really tweak anti-Catholics and those who see the Catholic Church in the Book of Revelations. Here are some ideas. We have had a various Pope Sixtus&#8217;s so why not a new tradition with a triple name like &quot;Sixtus  Sixtus, Sixtus.&quot; We have also had a Pope Markus so how about a &quot;Markus Beast&quot; along the same lines. Or maybe just Pope Babylon. Of course a  Swedish pope could name himself &quot;Leif Behind.&quot; It would be really fun watching all the people preparing for the end of the world and think what it would do for the manufacturers of bomb shelters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">The unfortunate side effect would be more Left Behind books, but then again they just don&#8217;t stop anyway. They are like Freddy Krueger on steroids. Just when you think they published the last one, then out comes another one. Speaking of Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye I recently saw this quote&quot;a mishmash of myth, silliness, and misrepresentations of Scripture.&quot; No it wasn&#8217;t a Amazon.com book review of their series, it was Mr. Jenkins critique of NBC&#8217;s apocalyptic miniseries, Revelations. Talk about irony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been some speculation as to what name a new pope would choose or whether he might also choose a double name.
