Papal name

src: thumbnails-visually.netdna-ssl.com

The name papal is the name of the government taken by a pope. Both the head of the Catholic Church, usually known as the Pope, and the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (Coptic Pope) chose the papal name. In 2013 Pope Francis is a Catholic Pope, and Tawadros II or Theodoros II is a Coptic Pope. This article discusses and lists the names of the Catholic Pope; another article has a list of Coptic Orthodox Pope from Alexandria.

While the popes in the early centuries retained the names of their births after their accession to the papacy, then the pope began to adopt a new name on their accession. It first began in the sixth century and became a custom in the 10th century. Since 1555, every whale has taken the name of the pope.

It is customary when referring to the pope to translate the name of government into the local language. So, for example, Papa Franciscus (Latin, the official language of the Holy See), is Papa Francesco in Italian (Vatican), Papa Francisco in the original Spanish, and Pope Francis in English.

History

During the first centuries of the church, the bishops of Rome continued to use the name of their baptism after their election. The custom of choosing a new name begins in 533 AD: Mercurius considers it improper for a pope to be named after Mercury's Roman god, and adopts the name of John II in honor of his predecessor John I, who is honored as a martyr. In the 10th century, scholars from outside the Alps, especially Germany and France, accessed the papacy and replaced their foreign names with the more traditional ones.

The last pope to use his baptismal name was Marcellus II in 1555, an even more remarkable choice. The names are freely chosen by the popes, and not by any system. The name of the predecessor, companion, saint, or even member of the immediate family - as is the case with John XXIII - has been adopted.

In 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani became the first pope to take the double name, John Paul I, in honor of his two predecessors, John XXIII and Paul VI; he was appointed to the bishop by John XXIII, then to the Venetian Patriarch and the College of Cardinals by Paul VI. John Paul I was also the first pope in nearly 1,100 years since Lando in 913 to adopt a pope name that was never used before. After the sudden death of John Paul I a month later, Cardinal Karol JÃÆ'³zef Wojty? A was elected and, hoping to continue the work of his predecessor, became the second Pope to take the double name as John Paul II. In 2013, the new name was introduced into the line: in the elected Pope, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name Francis to emphasize the spirit of poverty and peace embodied by Saint Francis of Assisi.

Symbolism

Often the choice of the new Pope on behalf of being elected to the papacy is seen as a signal to the world to be imitated by the new pope, what policy he will seek to enforce, or even the duration of his reign. As with Benedict XVI - it is speculated that he chose the name because he wanted to emulate Benedict XV, and also called attention to the fact that in 7.5 years, the Benedict XV government was relatively short. The Benedict XVI's own reign, which ended in retirement on 28 February 2013, also lasted less than 8 years (he was already 78 when elected).

St. Peter is the first Pope; no Roman Pope chose the name of Peter II, although there was no prohibition to do so. Since the 1970s, some antipopes, with very little, take the name of Pope Peter II.

Perhaps because of the controversial fifteenth-century antipope known as Pope John XXIII, this name was avoided for more than 500 years until the 1958 election of Pope (Rome) John XXIII. Immediately after the election of John XXIII as pope in 1958, it is not known whether he would become John XXIII or XXIV; he decided that he would be known as John XXIII. The amounts used by the antipop are ignored if possible, but it is not possible if, by the time a person is considered an antipope, the name has been used by one or more legitimate whales (eg Benedict X then counted as antipope).

Current practice

As soon as a new pope is elected, and accepts the election, he is asked in Latin "By what name will you be called?" The new pope chose a name by which he would be known from that point on. Cardinal Deacon senior, or Cardinal Protodeacon, then appears on the balcony of St. Peter to proclaim the new pope by his birth name, and announce the name of his pope:

Unless barred, the Dean of the College of Cardinals requests a newly elected pope if he accepts his election and what name he will use. In 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Dean, himself was elected pope, so these questions were asked by the subdean, Cardinal Angelo Sodano.
