Surely he will be a leo if not a Leo.
I took the last hour to pray. I noticed that on the Vatican page, there is a 62-page online book with photos of Benedict XVI, and a text written by him.
http://www.vatican.va/bxvi/omaggio/index_en.html
Was this newly added just now, or was that there before?
I’d like a return to Leo.
Pingback: Apostolica Sedes Vacans | O Salutaris Hostia
perhaps a Leo from a rich land, with a priestly coeur de la crosse, the piety of a St. Louis, and a thirst for justice as his personal and apostolic signature?
If the Holy Spirit chooses a Leo, I’m all for it. Him. Whatever. :-)
It occurs to me that maybe our times are so difficult, spiritually, that we need two popes praying for us — one the Pontiff of Rome and the other the Pope Emeritus.
A Lion or a Rock would be fine!
So THAT’s why you omitted to include the name Leo amongst the potential papal names proffered in your poll.
Very droll!

Tim, you are reading my secret hope, too. And I have not even seen him listed as a dark horse — even better I think!
Excellent choice though, Fr Z – although it did force me to vote for Gregory!
It’s eerie to see “Apostolica Sede Vacans” on the Vatican website.
Here here for ‘Leo XIV!’
A Leo would be great, but I’d lose a ten-spot. I drew Sagittarius in the office pool.
The @Pontifex Twitter accounts are also showing the vacancy. No tweets. Now we know what happens to the Papal Twitter account when we have sede vacante
I hope someone snipped a copy of his last tweet this morning.
I’m personally hoping for a Pope Urban IX. We need to launch another Crusade.
I was having trouble deciding which cardinal to pray for during the conclave, until I read this post.
I pray for the Conclave to be open to the workings of the Spirit.
What name? I can’t tell.
But he will be “Petrus Romanus”.
Ad jucundum:
Sede vacante, oportet non pipilare.
Salutationes omnibus.
Has Fr. Z commented at all on who he thinks will be the next Pope?
The Italian TV feed showing Pope Benedict’s helicopter flying past St Peter’s dome, over the Forum and Coliseum, then past St John Lateran, was fantastic!
Quaeritur:
Si leo vincat, septem signacula et librum aperiat?
I wanted Leo also in the poll. Not sure why that had been omitted.
I gave up betting for Lent, and I know this is not a popular pick, but I really do believe that Cardinal O’Malley of Boston will be the next pope. No one has dealt with the scourge of sexual abuse better than he. He is a holy man. Not the most charismatic, that’s for sure, and not particularly TLM friendly. Not a particularly good administrator. Closing every other parish, etc. He’ll need a good right-hand man to be his administrator. But he will be the next pope. Name — he’d want John XXIV, his Christian name (Sean), but he will take the name Pope Francis I.
Again, this is a prediction, not a wish.
The official sign for the sede vecante looks like the Papal symbols are riding a merry-go-round.
The Chicken
Giuseppe wrote (about cardinal O’Malley)
he’d want John XXIV, his Christian name (Sean), but he will take the name Pope Francis I”
According to Wikipedia, he was christened as Patrick O’Malley – so he could be Pope Patrick
He’d be the first , so he wouldn’t need a number.
There would be parties in Dublin.
The emblem of Sri Lanka is a lion with a sword.
I agree with jhayes that a Patrick, being the first, would not need a number, but everyone referred to Albino Luciani as John Paul I (i.e., during those few weeks as well as afterwards). I could never understand why.
Minnesotan from Florida, it was at John Paul I’s request that his name be followed by the number, so that there would be no confusion; he thought people would reject the double name, or think he was a) John XXIV or b) Paul VII for some reason. Of course, when John Paul II became Pope, the number was necessary for both.
