Fun Fact...
Apparently, the 2013 conclave wasn’t the first time Pope Francis was in the running for Vicar of Christ. He’s said to have been the runner-up to Benedict in the previous conclave (though “close” only counts in...well, you know), and later mentioned to a brother cardinal that he would have taken the name “John” if he’d been chosen in 2005, “like the Good Pope; I would have been completely inspired by him.”
