Congratulations to Paris!

CWN reports that Pope John Paul has chosen the Archbishop of Tours, André Vingt-Trois, to succeed Cardinal Lustiger as the archbishop of Paris. Since the archbishop's name means "twenty-three" in French, I think he is ready to take over Cardinal Sin's place as the prelate with the most unusual and amusing name. Ad multos annos!

Just think: if the Pope make him a Cardinal, and he is eventually himself elected Pope, he could take the name Pope Viginti Tres I, or Pope XXIII I for short. It'd confuse the hell out of John Kerry.

If "hell" in the above is out of line, please change it to "heck".

Scruples!

Somehow, "vingt-trois skiddoo!" just doesn't flow easily from the tongue.
