Watch for the white smoke.
My prediction, an Italian from Rome. Papal name: Peter
Would that be Peter II ?
Out of respect for the Apostle Saint Peter, the first Pope, no Pope has ever adopted the name Peter II. It is considered unlikely that any future pope would choose the name. Many popes have, however, had Peter (or a regional variant) as their baptismal name, most recently Pope Benedict XIII (Pietro Orsini).

Good grammar and no spelling mistakes!!!!
That must be cut and paste.

But the one thing you miss is that this is the last Pope.

OK as Mr Hinds seems reluctant to get into this detail I'll discuss it with you.
The point I'm trying to get our resident headbanger to engage with is that the only way this rag can be a "relic" is for it to actually have been wrapped around the body of Jesus Christ which is completely impossible to prove or disprove. At best the only thing that can be potentially proved or disproved is whether or not it was used to wrap a body and the image on it is from that body.
Let's assume we can prove is was used to wrap a body and that is the body's image, so what? It could be anyone of hundreds of millions of people. There is no controversy, no christian relic, no nothing. It is a non-interest item.
