With the launch of Conclavian for the election of the young man, many betting companies opened the name that the next Pontiff will choose to bet. Already the names “Francis” and “Leo” appear as the dominant, with 3/1 yields, indicating 25% probability for each.
Francis II: Continue of the inheritance
The choice of the name “Francis II” would mark the continuation of his course and work, which adopted the name in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, symbolizing humility and commitment to the poor. This option could be regarded as a sign of commitment to the reforms and values promoted by Pope Francis.
Leo XIV: Return to Delivery
The name “Leo” has been used by 13 previous popes, most recently Pope Leo XIII (1878–1903), known for the papal circular. The circular deals with the “position of workers” at the dawn of the industrial age, laying the foundations for a Christian view of social and economic issues. Recognizes the injustice of uncontrolled capitalist exploitation, but also rejects the socialism of the time as an anti -social and dangerous of the social class.
The choice of this name could indicate a return to traditional values and the enhancement of its teaching on social issues.
Other possible names
Other names appearing in betting markets include “Pius” and “John”, with 4/1 yields (20% probability), and “Gregory” and “Benedict” with 7/1 (12.5%). The choice of the name will depend on the new Pope’s personality and vision, as well as the message he wishes to send to the Catholic Church and the world.
As the Concrete process continues, the name will be an important indicator for the direction of the Catholic Church under the new leadership.
