A Pope is a Pope is a Pope
The cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church will lock themselves into the Sistine Chapel in around 15 minutes and stay there until they've chosen a new pope.
When a candidate receives at least 77 votes, a two-thirds majority of cardinals, he'll be asked, "do you accept your canonical election as supreme pontiff?" If he replies "accepto," he becomes the pope and can immediately choose a new name.
As I understand the process, he can select anything -- Pope P. Diddy I, Pope Atrios I, and Pope Jurassic Park IV are not out of the question -- or simply keep his own first name. But for 15 centuries the new pope, like rappers, bloggers, and actors, has adopted a nom de pontiff.
In most cases, the name is chosen to give props to a past pope, as John Paul II did for John Paul I.
My money's on one of these six names:
- Benedict XVI
- Clement XV
- Innocent XIV
- Leo XIV
- Paul VII
- Pius XIII
I mean this literally. I registered all six of these as dot-com domain names earlier this month, which I feared was tacky -- to say nothing of soul-imperiling -- until I read about the vacant papal see stamp. Clearly I'm not the only baptized Catholic who gets geeked about this process.
I don't think there's any speculative potential in these domains, but I couldn't resist the chance to have some skin in the game. Someone else already has JohnPaulIII.Com and JohnXXIV.Com, but otherwise I put a chip down on every name of the past three centuries.
A Hungarian web site caught me doing this, accusing me of legöbb spekuláns a pápa.
I don't expect we'll get another John Paul -- the Italian saying "always follow a fat pope with a skinny pope" refers to cardinals' desire not to go too far in one direction. But I'm concerned about John.
The Irish betting site Paddy Power has Benedict as a 3-to-1 favorite, trailed by John Paul at 4-to-1, Pius at 6-to-1, and Peter at 8-to-1.
The last choice would lend itself to rapturous excitement among end-times believers -- there's a long belief that the last pope will call himself Peter II.
Update: A few news reports suggest that I might have popesquatted BenedictXVI.Com to sell it to pornographers. For the love of God, people, that's not going to happen. I will be running any plans I have for this domain by my own Catholic doctrinal enforcer, my never-miss-a-Sunday grandmother Rita.

Comments
There's also the possibility of Sixtus VI... although that name has been jokingly taken by sf writer Robert Silverberg (he of the short story, "Good News from the Vatican"), who took it in the early 1960s, and says all the subsequent guys have been anti-popes.
As it happens, there are a few "real" anti-popes running around under the name Peter II:
"Then there is Chester Olszewski of Pennsylvania, a defrocked Episcopalian priest who became Pope Peter II in 1980. Olszewski is one of several contemporary anti-Popes to claim the title Peter II. Another Peter II is Pierre Henri Bubois of Brussels, another still is the German Julius Tischler and yet another is Maurice Achieri of Le Perreux, France who became an anti-Pope in 1995. Interestingly Achieri was able to claim a genuine apostolic succession courtesy of a legitimate consecration (i.e. he was a real bishop) from an Old (schismatic) Catholic lineage."
Cerebus for epop
You da man, Rogers.
hehehe hi rogers. nice idea. back in the day, a company I worked for autioned off chiefrabbi.com and made enough money to start a spinoff co. :) !!
cool!
Your strategy worked!! Benedict it is! I am so curious to know how this will pay off for you . . . here and in the afterlife . . .
I haven't found any papal encyclicals regarding the practice of domain registration, so I suspect my spiritual well-being will hinge on what I do with the domain name.
As a lapsed Catholic who lives in the oldest diocese in the U.S., I can only conclude that my registration of this domain name was a sign from God.
Though it may dismay some people to see it fall into the hands of a blogger, it could have been worse: The world could have pulled up benedictxvi.com today to find an ecommerce site selling Catholic schoolgirl outfits for consenting adults.
(In other words, I have no idea what to do with the domain name. I didn't think that far ahead.)
I was wondering if anybody had bought benedictxvi.com. Blimey. What are you going to use it for?
Of course you have an idea about what to do with the domain. As your consicence, I'm giving you strong hints that the right thing to do is to redirect the domain to the Vatican web site. You may choose to ignore me, but you already know that I'm suggesting the only ethical course of action.
How about asking the Catholic Insider?
Very well done. Forget Ethics. Not even bibles are free.
Well I think that you should see how Benedict XVI performs, and how this web site performs, and then decide. Benedict XV was an underestimated man, and he made me, Joan of Arc a Saint!
Your web traffic will not decrease, and if your visitors are not all Saints, Martyrs or even Catholics, you can use this premonition for the good of people!
I found an interesting history of The "Popes Benedict" at this otherwise often irreverent web site.
Damn you're good at this game. I don't think you're likely to get any closer to going to hell at this point, so go nutty with that domain, baby. No dirty stuff, though.
a winner is you!
Good work, from a fellow (not cradle) Catholic, though an enthusiastic one in my case.
And I'm delighted to see Cardinal Ratzinger selected--he's a very humble, gentle scholar, a brilliant mind, a very sweet man but with a crystal-clear understanding of the problems in the Church and in the world that need to be addressed.
He used to walk across St. Peter's Square every morning at 6:30am punctually, on his way to work, and people in the know could catch him and talk to him about anything, anytime. (My kids did that on our 2000 pilgrimage, one morning, though I wasn't there (sick that morning).)
You might pass it along to this fellow (an acquaintance), who's doing some serious blogging about the new pope, and hopes to continue to do so until his death. (That "his" left deliberately ambiguous.)

maximum respect to you for this shot!
so how many uniques are pouring in from BenedictXVI.Com?
Buying a Waterfront Home... Think of Newfoundland in Canada... low prices... great views... low crime. Visit my website for more info.
Hey Rogers I am shamefully hanging on to your coattails, any business from this I will gladly doante a portion to either yourself or the catholic charity of your choice.
Funny huh
Shouldn't you have gone for the .va tld?
You could always use the site to show all he has done wrong in the past, and all he will do wrong in the future.
:)
That's pretty funny!
Why not sell it to the Vatican, with a 5-10% annual tithe? Or just a hyperlink aknowledgement... that couldn't hurt from a PageRank point of view, and would pay dividends for years traffic-wise :)
Let's see if I get this right. A church that has sold indulgences to profiteer off the "word of God", and harbors who know how many sex offenders today..... is righteous in the eyes of God.
But a man who registers a domain name speculating the new Pope's name is doomed to eternal damnation when he hasn't even capitalized on his good fortune yet.... and vows not to do anything distasteful.
Man, this is a tough crowd. I'm glad you all helped me see where to get my priorities in order.
Sagitta Veritas "Go Roger"
It's good to see there is another Cadenhead with a sense of humor and too much time on his hands. Your prescience might be a virtual miracle. Of course, has anyone noticed the image of Mary in the background on your blog?
Great to hear that you have a conscience!! Selling all of the domain names that you registered...to the Vatican...for a nominal profit...seems to be a reasonable solution. God bless you.
congrats, we were able to procure the .net and .org. Saw your efforts on April 2, one day short..oh well. Sites online soon.
Nice work. Now, if you keep in mind that the Catholic Church has extorted people over centuries both financially and phsichically you might as well ask them for a very nice rent for this domain. I mean, why does the pope have to live in a 200 room building while you live in some ordinary house? :)
I am a Christian but not a Catholic. I really can't stand the blindness of the Catholic church when it comes to things as birth control, women's rights and the third world. Even worse now that "the general" Ratzinger (that's how educated people call him in Germany) has been elected for Pope. He's very well known to be very conservative and doctrinal. He might be a smart man, but his smartness lacks when it comes to open the mind to the *whole* world.
I really don't want to bash catholics. Everyone should be free to believe what he wants. But the Catholic church is too big not to realize the responsibility it has when it comes to be an example to a billion people.
Hi Folks,
For those of you who do not know me, I am Horseonovich, and I am a regular at www.cruel.com. I think very little of the pathetic Pope, so back off of my buddy Cadenhead, he is good people! If you have a problem with this, come up here to Fishkill and I will kick your Catholic ass! If you want to know where to find me, just ask at Cruel.com. they will point you in my direction, you sick religious freaks!
With great domain power comes great responsibility. You've got a window here my friend. ICANN might eventually get around to forcing you to relinquish the domain name to the Vatican.
During this time realize that thousands if not millions will check this site out. Would it be wrong to get some vetted blog ads to take advantage of the traffic? I don't know, you could ask your conscience about three posts up.
If there are some things about this Pope, the hierarchy of the Church and its backwards attitudes toward women and married priests for example, that you want to address now would be the time to get your opinion out there, for sure as the sun will come out tomorrow, the Vatican lawyers will be all over this.
Keep that in mind too. Don't be surprised if you get a strong letter from Rome (keep the stamp and letter, it will be a collecter's item! "The Pope's first Lawsuit.")
Use your soapbox wisely for the few days you have it.
Good luck!

Hey!
Congratulations on getting this site! Hope you do something excellent with it!
Expect a call from Golden Palace.
Will the new popemobile be an Audi/BMW/Merc?
Hi! Just stopping by.
HOWDY! NICE HAT, MR. POPE!
dedicate it to the new popes misogynistic behavior!
Nice site. Have a nice day. Go Pope!
Dedicate it to the pope's misogynistic belief system
I was really hoping for something a little more updated, like P-Ratzy the (or tha) First.
Bravo!
via ferret's link to here...
Had to say, brilliantly done... Kudos... and much applause for forward thinking!
To look at this registration as not commercial is to ignore the google ads at the top right of the site.
Not sure that ICANN's udrp will be able to intervene as I doubt the vatican would be able to show prior use in a commercial sense given the registration predated the creation of this particular papal moniker.
I guess i will be gambling like Cadenhead---I own Popebenedict16.com and alot of other ones.

Man you coulda totally made a million bucks selling catholic schoolgirl outfits on this URL today.
Long live the Nephews of Islam.
Papa bear brings the Lords groceries.
But the milk is Sour.
It is not hard to really guess a popes next name if you pick more than one.... moron
Congratulation !!
You are Faster than us.. :)
My bet was PopeCondoleezzaI.com.
MAY BE YOURE RIGTH...
BUT....
IF BENEDICT XVI WAS CHOSEN, MAY BE FOLLOW THE PROPHECY OF A KILLED POPE...
THERE ARE MANY OF SUCH TALES OR PROPHECIES.... BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN FUTURE....
YOU MUST INVESTIGATE SO MORE ABOUT ALL THESE THEMES..... MANY PEOPLE HAVE FOUND MANY OCCULT SECRETS ABOUT THIS CENTURIES BEHIND THE FINAL PROPHECY OF DESTRUCTION OF THIS AGE IN 2039...
JUST KEEP OPEN YOUR MINDS
koo koo! koo koo!
As usual though, it's the act that merits all the attention, not the URL itself. Not the catchiest URL I've heard, but well done for deducing the 'winning' name and beating the hoardes of porn-peddling sickos.
And by posting the offical vatican link up here (I hope it works!) perhaps I can save your soul and who knows, maybe mine!
Salvation is sweeet
Very Nice Rogers. Excellent idea in this 3rd Millenium, as the Church moves forward, that you help nudge them along.
For what it's worth, I would parlay the domain name into a private audience with His Holy Father, donating the name to him of course.
I see that
PeterII.com
and
PopePeterII.com
are already taken... would have been best to get the domain of the "last pope".
I think you should barter the domain name for an indulgence such as a "Get Out Of Hell Free" card or something.
Why didn't I think of this?
The new Pope has a ton of work to do. Perhaps he should outfit hmself accordingly.
I read about this on Wired news, LOL. Personally i'm a Protestant. However I'll say kudos to you for guessing the right domain name. It seems there are others out there who are snapping up tons of Benedict like domain names as well.
Just don't forget if the Vatican ever wanted to put up a Pope BenedictXVI website it won't matter, because whatever domain they use people will flock to it, and eventually ignore all the other ones out there like this one.
You'll be going up against the following, marketing, advertising, and name recognition of the Vatican. If they register popebenedictxvi.net, holybenedictxvi.com or whatever that's what will get the hits eventually.
potentially big profit here, rake it in, catholic school girls in trouble! or better yet! make it a muslim site, ha...don't sell for less than $200,000, stick it too 'em
Hey, if you're one of those skanky Catholic chicks (or if your sister is) please visit me at my blog. I'm Horseonovich. Bugger off.
www.horseonovich.blogspot.com
good luck!!!^^
The few people ranting about this site should just chill. Jason's got it right: after a short while this domain won't really matter compared to the 'official' sites.
I don't get the calls for you to hand it over to the Vatican either. Keep it, or give it up when your 15 minutes of fame have passed. It won't really matter much.
Meanwhile, thanks for keeping this domain out of the hands of smut vendors.
As to our new Pontiff: I know so little about him besides today's news reports that I can't really say. I have a feeling though, that the position will shape the man, and we shouldn't take all his previous writings as a clear sign of things to come. Time will tell.
I'd stick with my own name - Pope Hope I
haahhaaaaaa!!!!!!! you genius!
Damn, I wish I would have registered it. I would have redirected it to http://www.DonnysRamblings.com and laughed at those who warned about my "immortal soul" being in jeopardy.
My grandmother wouldn't have approved either. Oh well.
What the hell is going on?
Kudos to grabbing the domain name, even more so that you're refusing to turn it into a porn site...I mean, who really wants to see Pope Porn? Pope Pornicus II?
*All gladiators standing one by one*
No..._I_ am Pornicus!
I have to admit, I looked as soon as his name was announced.
good luck and love from Flores, Indonesia
nice work, works for me, better than sickos getting it!

Ignore that pretender up there; this is your bonfide conscience speaking to you now. I command you redirect the url to plannedparenthood.org.
Much love,

Wow. All these people are so judgemental of you and you really haven't done anything wrong.
Rather than having concern for your soul, they should be concerned what the hate in their hearts is doing to theirs...
I hope you do some good with it.
Althougt you got this domain name, if you really consider "For the love of God, people" you should turn it to Roman Catholic Church.
Choosing this domain can not be the game.

Wow is very good idea..

hahaaha

are you going to make profits of this?
:D
I think if you sell it or keep it... it should not matter. Your life is not the business of others.

But the pope's got his own TLD www.va so I doubt hell want the .com back. ;)
This doesn't prevent thousands upon thousands of people typing in the .com instead of the .va though. ;) I vote for keep 'em!
I lost an apostrophe there making the comment unintentionally funnier. "Hell" indeed.
you should turn it to Roman Catholic Church.
Sign of the times. I keep reading papal as PayPal.
Well done indeed! Came across your site from the BBC's website. Seems they have found this to be newsworthy. Glad to see some restraint on your part as to how to sell/give the domain name. I say keep it and get your opinion out to the world via your blog. That is, unless you dont have something to say. If that's the case, put up some kids' drawings and tell them they're published artists. That would make their day.

Good call!
If the new Pope is all nice and smart, I'm sure that, so long as you don't start advertising 'The Pope's own adult toys', you'll do fine.
If ICANN get their collective knickers in a twist over this, it harm their credibility more than yours.
Perhaps links to a whole array of different faith sites? We'll see how open the new'n'improved Vatican will be...
He could also have chose Papa-Ratzi... ;)
At least a million pictures have been taken of him yesterday... ;)
I'd been betting on Pope George Ringo
I am so curious how you could expect the new pope's name. Which kind of rule are there??
You've chosen Clement, but not Peter, Linus, Anacletus, Evaristus, Telesphorus...
I want to know why.
Greentings from new Pope's Country Germany :-))
God bless all humble and weak and pious beeings and lead them into his paradise.
very very nicely done...

Ratzinger: ex Hitler youth
redirect to anti-fascist league?
Just another pro-nazi pope (look up the last pius, the one who signed agreements with Hitler pre WW2).
In the gererally un-religious world we live I don't see why so many people seem to want to utter opinions about the new pope. In a few weeks all the hooplah will blow over, and most of the people talking about this will go back to their regular lives where they neither go to church nor pray, and give no thought to god or the pope.
Keep it!
You are in a famous german online-newspaper. That's how i got this link. Congrats for your hit :)
An article about this was published in the biggest Israelian site www.ynet.co.il here's a direct link
www.ynet.co.il
BTW nice buying!!
You're a star! I just saw a blurb about your domain name on CNN Headline News (6:40 am PT)!!
this is brilliant....will someone translate what all the koreans are saying for me?
If you had left the org domains for this name benedictxvi.org, than you're smart but...
But this got you quite a bit of publicity though.
I think that the new pope will give us all his love and hopefully he will be treat people the same way as John Paul 2 did.
Good job body, your website will explode today.... even in Spain you can read it!!
jeje
http://www.boersenreport.de
they gonna screw up your site.
You are in the newspaper for ingeners in Denmark, this is how I got your address
...sell it very, very, very expensively.
Well done :-)))
Same in Germany. You are quite famous.
Sell it to the Vatikan. In Germany you have to pay Churchtax to be Christian. So why shouldnt the Church pay you if they want something from you?
Hei Dude! why did you delete the Russian note? Ny the way Jakcsonville is a sister city of Murmansk in Russia!
If you give the domain to them for free. Everybody will think you are awesome.
But after 2 days you will be forgotten and have nothing left.
If you sell it for a real high price people will remember you at least 2 weeks and once they forget you you will have the money. If you think its too mean and unchristian, just donate a bit to a good cause. Just like the Vatikan does...
Greetz from Belgium.....
You're in the Belgian newspapers also...
you may redirect your site to a young fascist site!
listen.
the american gouverment and bill gates attaked me with sattelites because i caused a pschedelic wave going around the world and which reached the president g w bush too.
america acts in the name of the church and the vatican too.
isnt it in the interest of the chruch to help people and not to hurt them by sattelites?
WOTS AT GMX DOT DE
ps. if i were you i woudln support the vatikan cuz they didnt even try to be against the iraq war etc......

Good Strategy... Good luck to sell this domain.!!
whatever : http://www.vatican.va is easier to remember !
and i'll forgive you
I'm caught between saying Good Heads Up! and Hmmm... Sinful.
Truth is, you did nothing wrong.
sell it before giving it away.
What I say:
Burn the pope, the only reason why he's in Rome is to prevent science from developping! And mr. Bush listens to him to gain votes.
change it to porn site in three days!
I heard you are changin this to a porn site. SWEET!
Hello! Teen Porn?
What kind of porn will you have?
I never did trust anyone who proclaimed their own virtues.
This is no humble pope.
Better off with someone a little less devious, like you perhaps.
And for some light relief a few lines from an old song by The Economic Wizards :
I am the pope,
I am your only hope
If anyone can the Vatican can.
If anyone can the Vatican can.
u rock!

hi nice bit of foresite there. hope that having this site doesnt cause ou any hastle only amusment. if you can keep control of it i would use it as way of helping out charities who need the cash. you could make a heavenly profit that way and so collect in the afterlife, or this one.
up to you though.
lets pray that the new pope makes the right decisions and hears god nice a clearly.

I hope the new POPE will change the standpoint of GAYs in world.
I guess I should have check my previous post for typos. Sorry to mess up your site Roger.
Make much cash from this site of the betting?

i'd love to see your web traffic stats!

the hungarian comment does not make sense, because there was a typo in the original writing ... and you cut off the sentence at the wrong location. But they caught you all right.
So that's about it ?
the vatican link +-
http://www.benedictxvi.va
is still available ... but it won't be yours now.
www.vatican.va
I object. This site looks lovely on Safari/OSX.
And I don't think posting naked pictures of yourself on a website is really porn but rather art. What say you Rogers?
Of all the Catholic geek people in this world, I'm glad a good guy like you secured this domain.
Send regards to your now famous grandmother, Rita. I'll send a prayer her way too.
Well Done!!!
excellent, a true scoop. Hope you do well out of it regardless what you decide.
fuck you with your adolf hitler pope.
Tech Site. News and Reviews updated daily. Ok that's my plug.
Keep it a serious Homepage or give it to the Vatican. If you run your own homepage (about Benedict XVI alias Joseph Ratzinger) it would pay off anyway (google adwords et cetera).
Nice Job!!!

I was really hoping for a Latino or Black Pope. I guess they will lose some people because they did not do that but I bet they would lose even more if they did choose a Pope of color. After all, it's been an old white guy's game since the beginning. A change like that would tick off many European rooted people. They certainly wouldn't want to get the dwindling number of Catholics upset. Those envelopes don't fill themselves you know.
Go RC! Glad to see Grandma is there to keep you straight.
Personally I like the nickname, "The Panzer Cardinal" for Il Papa.
For the detractors - get with the program or hit the road. We don't need your kind here anyway. But we will still pray for your eternal souls, misguided as they might be. :)
Remember, when you're #1 everyone is out to take a shot at you.
I think you should use the site to document the pope's positions and what you think of them... it is a blog after all, not a porn site. You probably have an opinion about birth control, abortion, homosexuality, etc. Pull out the soapbox, let your traffic know! I personally think the Catholic Church has gone out of their way to elect a pope that will further alienate their members and the rest of the world, but you might think different.
you gotta redirect www.BenedictXVI.com to www.durex.com ...!
Just stumbled onto your story. I am not Catholic, but still very interesting in the events over the last few days. I found your story absolutely brilliant! I am impressed that you picked the right name! Have fun with whatever adventures you have for owning this website! Talk about a life event to tell the future generations!
Ik think, it is very good to be a real Catholic, then a Catholic who want peace for everybody!
[url=Startselect.com] click for the pope~! [] :D

I'm trying to decide what was more exciting coverage, the 24 hour coverage of the new Pope-fest, or the white bronco chase brought to us live.
good show! dude.
Cash in bra...Make some coin!
Had the same idea, but I was waiting for the announcement... congratulations...
funny greetz from amsterdam!!!!!!!!!
I'm slightly in doubt if ".com" is an appropriate top level domain for a pope. What would Jesus have done if the money changers in the Jerusalem Temple were running a website "templemoney.com"? Cleaning the temples harddisks as well?
The good news is that the world is rediscovering the possibility of papal jokes ;-)
Best regards to you and Rita!
GOOD IDEA! JUST BE CAREFUL HOW YOU BENEFIT FROM THIS. PLEASE USE THIS SITE TO PROMOTE GOODNESS LIKE CHRIST WOULD DONT GET GREEDY WITH GODLY THINGS. THINK GOMORA!
