From a reader:
Yes, yes, the election itself is fascinating, and the election of a good pope is quite important. However, I’d proffer that the more interesting question is what pope name the new guy will choose. As a Roman Catholic I think it’d be quite interesting if he chose an unpronounceable symbol as his name.Then he’d be (for example), “The Pope formerly known as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger”. That’d be cool as hell!
