Surely the hopes for Pope Pizzaballa is in part because of his name?

I will remember Pizzaballa forever for two reasons:

1. Great name. 2. After October 7, he offered to trade himself for Hamas's hostages. [1]

Would definitely vote for that guy if I could. On the other hand, buying "no" has a 6 cent return by end of year which is roughly 10 months away. Thats near 8% annualized if you hold to maturity: (1+(6/94))^(12/10)-1, better than a T-bill right now.

Surely. But popes are called by their first name, and almost always a first name they choose, so there won't actually be a Pope Pizzaballa.

He could be! Popes pick their new names, after all. But yeah, he'd probably pick "Innocent" or something less amusing.
