If the pope is sainted - what is his name going to be?

[HEyHEY]

THere's already a Saint John... so do they use his Polish name?

1. Saint John Paul II

Popes are sainted with their papal names.

[adwon]

2. St. John Paul

would be my guess. The popes who were canonized went in under their papal names, though not necessarily the number.

3. John Paul the Great.

:hi: They were calling for it already this AM.

4. Staint J-Piddy

5. Fo shizzle?

Jo Pizzle!

7. as others have said, John Paul

but, the fact that there is already a St. John doesn't matter.

There are LOTS of saints named John. There is no limit. They're usually differentiated by a last name or description.

For instance, there is St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, St. John Nepomuk, St. John Chrysostom, St. John of the Cross, etc.

8. Most saints' names are dupicated

There are even two saints who were popes known as Pius. Pope St. Pius V and Pope St. Pius X; I heard one reporter suggest that soon there will also be a Pope St. Pius XII.
