3. I gotta go with John Paul I. As I am not a great fan of popes,

particularly conservative ones (which is pretty much all of them) I have got to go with one who only lasted a couple of months. Plus, he seemed like a nice guy.

5. Are you guys all too young?

Don't you remember Vatican II and John XXIII?

7. My momma LOVED John XXIII

And that's saying a lot given that she was raised Southern Baptist in Texas. She liked the reformist spirit of Vatican II.

10. You forgot "other".

Hadrian VII

A pope who lived up to his ideals.

Not only that, he's fictional.

11. John Paul I - the Pope who was killed by the Vatican hierarchy.

One month as Pope. Died under VERY mysterious circumstances (there are suggestions that JPI stumbled on financial irregularities involving the Vatican Bank). And the Vatican refused to allow an autopsy of JPI. I'm convinced.

Even has his own action figure...besides...with a name like Innocent III, he sounds so completely faultless. doesn't he?

14. McBrien's "Lives of the Popes" is very nice reading;

thorough, and, judging from the "Lives of the Popes," probably a liberal

[SmileyBoy]

15. What's gonna be the name of the next Pope???
