Keep your snot to yourself. I am well aware that Paolo means Paul. Are you aware of a remote possibility that Cardinal Romeo may become the next Pope? And Popes usually assume new names, keeping the surnames? Don’t bother answering, such struggle may be beyond your mental capacity.

A few points:

1) Cardinal Romeo is eligible to be pope, but as a 73-year-old who’s still in a backwater, he’s hardly on anyone’s list of papabile, and shooting his mouth to Chicoms about the Pope being assassinated and diving into Italian gossip rags didn’t exactly earn his any positive attention.

2) Yes, Popes take new names. But then why does a name like “Paolo Romeo” get you all goose-pimply.

3) Fortune-telling is for basic-cable slack-jaws. tabloid papers and snake-charming hicks. There’s plenty of Catholic prophesying out there (St John Bosco, Fatima, etc.), but none of it having much to fortune-telling.

Grow up.
