@mredding Vatican Radio referred to him just as Francis on their site. en.radiovaticana.va/articolo.asp?c…

Shouldn’t it be just “Pope Francis” and not “Pope Francis I”, short of he saying otherwise?

@mredding In short, we’ll see what the Vatican does and go from there 🙂 I think “Francis” makes sense, but who am I?

@mredding True, I think that’s unique though. Then again, he was the first to use a non-repeated name since Lando in 900ish.

@mredding All of the first popes lack the suffix (Peter, Linus, etc) since they haven’t been repeated thus no need.

@mredding Traditionally, it should just be “Francis”. History typically adds the “I” when another pope takes the time.
