In the 6th century Mercurius decided to go with John II as he thought a Pope shouldn't be named after a Roman God. That started the papal name tradition, but newly elected popes can still use their given names. Last Pope to do so was Marcellus II in 1555.
This is a very useful report. Thank you. However, in English, "Leone" is not translated as "Leon," but "Leo." Also, "Gregorio Magno" is not translated as "Gregory Magnus," but "Gregory the Great."
@ Gino Beba & tonysimon12 Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name Francis to honor St. Francis Xavier, St. Francis of Assisi, & St. Francis de Sales. These three saints are Jesuits, that's why Pope Francis is the first Pope who is a Jesuit.
That's not quite right. The real reason the renaming tradition started was that the new Pope in 533AD, Mercurius (Mercury), felt it was wrong to be a Pope having the name of a Roman deity. So he took the name John.
But this was only individually, just succecors just kept following the trend of using their own name. Some other individuals also chose different names, interestly only Popes with the name John (III and XII and XIV) but it was only after George V (996-999 , so after alomst 1000 years of popes that the trend became to use somebody else their name
Cardinals Albino Luciani & Carol Joseph Wojtyla combine the names John & Paul to become John Paul I & John Paul II to continue the legacy left by John XXIII & Paul VI. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger chose the name Benedict XVI to continue the legacy of the Popes that have been named Benedict
What does it say if the pope chooses a non-european name? For example, Pope Makoto after the Jesuit Priest Makoto Takakura who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and ministered to the survivors.
no its only to honor st francis of assisi because before the announcment of the new pope in the conclave one old cardinal give him a message dont forger the poor as assisi done in hin life the siplycity and poverty
in Deathbed confession, St Francis alludes to a destroyer Pope in his name, Francis! how accurate, just like La Salette prophecy mentioned "Rome will loose the Faith". Now we have Francis parading a STANG at the Youth Synod, a Stang is occult symbol used by wiccans and witches. Timely! Generation when all witches came out to CAST a spell on a President Trump! Truly the wide Gate acvomodates wholesale destruction. Read St Malachy Prophecy or better open the Book of Revelation! there is a City there that all the kings of the Earth are bewitched! and it describes its color Purple, Scarlet, Gold cup and Jewels! Everything went downhill with the so called Assissi Apostasy Save yourself open Revelation because it says " blessed is he that readeth and understand the PROPHECY.

@@e-1074 Well, most favorite I am uncertain, but after a certain period new popes choose tainted names again. Plus they could say that they do it in honor of Saint Pius X rather than pope XII
This doesn't really answer the question in the title "Why". It's more about how they choose their names. It's not just popes, by the way. Kings of Britain sometimes choose a different "regnant name" to the names they were known by before coronation. I believe other monarchs have a similar practice.
Yes it does. In the very beginning. God and Jesus gave new names to people who he sent on special or important missions. Passed that you have to ask why the church does anything the way it does
Hello Rome Reports, Love your videos. It is such a shame that your announcers do not take advice from native English speakers before these videos are released. Too many names are either mistranslated, as pointed out by Emiel Abalahin, or mispronounced... as in this video, Xavier, and in other videos, Augustine, Lombardy... Offer me a job. I don't mind nipping over to Rome.
That's not really the reason popes change their name. Until Pope John II in 533, popes used their birth name. But John II was born Mercurius and he didn't believe having a Christian pope with the name of a pagan Roman god. So he chose the regnal name of John. The last pope to not choose a regnal name was Marcellus II in 1555.
They Don’t Take Peter to honor him because he is the apostle of jesus and the first pope...though any cardinal technically can choose him they just prefer not to
„Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Iudex tremendus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.“ the prophecy of the popes lists "Peter the Roman" as the last pope, heralding the destruction of the church and Rome itself, so nobody elected to papacy will touch the name by a mile. catholic church doesnt believe in the prophecy, supposedly by St. Malachy but they would still avoid it. :)

The reason they did not do that is because of the Association this name has with Boniface VIII. The same reason why it is also unlikely we will ever see a Pius XIII, since the controversial actions of Pius XII during WWII. Although a person choosing that name can also say that he is doing that in reverence to Pius X, the last Pope with the name Pius to be declared a saint

Dr. Luther had his 95 theses true, but it's also ok for others to have more or less protests. Those 95 were just a basis for the rest of the Protestants to cite from if necessary.
.???? Everyone ever can read and know what they did and we know the brith name of about every single pope that has ever changed his name. What you say is stupid
And he chose the name Francis !
OK, when he mentioned Pope Lando, how many people were expecting to see a picture of Billy Dee Williams?
That's the only reason I clicked on the video- to see the Pope Lando/Billy Dee Williams correlation.
If the new Pope chose the name Ignatius, he would honor St. Ignatius of Loyola who is the founder of the Jesuits.
Or Ignatius of Antioch, from whom Inigo de Loyola took his name.
wow, they've predicted the name.
Amazing indeed
They did not predict. It's called new name, listen to the newscaster saying the words.
and he indeed chose Francis!

Correct! Jesse....Personally, I would just keep my own name (Gary) since there is no Saint Gary.:)
This is a very useful report. Thank you. However, in English, "Leone" is not translated as "Leon," but "Leo." Also, "Gregorio Magno" is not translated as "Gregory Magnus," but "Gregory the Great."
Still waiting for Pius XIII. Not Jude Law.
That pope is best pope. But if I were pope I would choose the name Pope Alexander IX
Also, this year there will be season 2
Just a correction, his name is Leo, not Leon.
John Twedeh Thank you i was gonna point that out
So now that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name Pope Francis.
Leone is an Italian name of Leo. Gregorio Magno is an Italian for Gregory the Great. Gregory Magnus is an Latin name of Gregory the Great
@ Gino Beba & tonysimon12
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name Francis to honor St. Francis Xavier,
St. Francis of Assisi, & St. Francis de Sales. These three saints are Jesuits, that's why Pope Francis is the first Pope who is a Jesuit.
St Francis of Assis pre-dated the Jesuits by several centuries. He was, rather mundanely, the founder of the Franciscans.

What if someone choose the name peter the second?
Thanks for rome reporters
Leo* not Leon
1:36 should have Leo, not Leon
What does it say if the pope chooses a non-european name?
For example, Pope Makoto after the Jesuit Priest Makoto Takakura who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and ministered to the survivors.
usually they would name themselves after a saint, so im not sure
but if he is infact a saint you would be free to do so

Save yourself open Revelation because it says " blessed is he that readeth and understand the PROPHECY.
You got Francis.
Very potential explanation to make people aware of this.
Basically they do it just because they can and there's nothing to stop them from doing it so it usually happens. Great explanation.

@@KAvanAlten the type of person to pick pius would probably like both of them
To honor St. Francis of Assisi & St. Francis Xavier, both saints are Jesuits.
St Francis of Assisi is not a Jesuit he is the founder of the Franciscan Order

If I was Catholic... and if I was a cardinal... and if I was elected pope, I'd go for Peter II just to see how shocked people would be
I don't think that's necessarily shocking. I'm surprised that in 2000 years no other pope has taken that name, but it's perfectly fine.
They Don’t Take Peter to honor him because he is the apostle of jesus and the first pope...though any cardinal technically can choose him they just prefer not to
Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman, thats Francis
they not choose Peter as their name because they are the successor of Peter, which means they also Peter. even though they can choose Peter II
„Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Iudex tremendus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.“

Leon?

I hope the next pope takes either the name John Paul III or Benedict XVII. I hope he, and succeeding popes, will never take the name Francis II.
Surely, the next will be Francis II.
