It's simple to play. Just tell us the following:
  1. Who the next Pope will be (full name as it appears today)
  2. When he will be elected (exact day)

AND (bonus points)

  1. His Papal name upon ascension.

Scoring is as follows:

Correct name: +50 points
Correct day: +25 points (15 if one day off either way, 5 if two days off)
Papal name: +75 points

Whoever has the most points win.

Pope away and have fun!


  1. Timothy Dolan
  2. March 22nd (it didn't work for chavez, maybe it'll work here! :P )
  3. Pope Adrian VII (although for brevity's sake, i would prefer to say Sixtus VI)

Take your fake answer elsewhere if you're not going to play seriously. *NM* - 07/03/2013 11:48:57 PM 557 Views
*is chastened* That was the only remotely possible answer I could come up with w/o research. *MN* - 08/03/2013 04:13:44 AM 989 Views
So go do the research! It can't take as long to perform as one of your standard diatribes... *NM* - 08/03/2013 09:29:57 PM 496 Views
