Pope Fill-in-the-Blank
By Sister Julie | April 21, 2008
This is the last of the results for my unofficial, definitely unscientific Pope’s Visit Survey. The results were very interesting and I’m grateful for each of you who participated. (See all results of the Pope’s Visit Survey)

I’m the one who picked Daisy - only because Driving Miss Daisy is my favourite movie. Which is totally not a proper way to choose a good Pope name

I vote for Puff!
Well, considering that for me to be Pope the Catholic religion would be significantly different, I would choose either Elizabeth Alexanderia or Joan Eve Lillith…
