Did you know the popes name?

[AndyAudi]

In my life time if you asked me to name the popes I’d get

John Paul II
Benedict
Frances

But was totally unaware of the latest one, or that he was even American until the current news stories. He’s been in role a year, does he have a bad publicist or is this just me that’s missed it?

I’m not a religious man, but the pope’s always been an icon of sorts

Before John Paul II, there was of course the sadly very short reign of John Pail (I)

Probably not that much in the news?

I don’t know who he is, and don’t really care.
