I grant you the Pope is a pretty nice guy. I could probably go to a ball game with him. But when he puts on that mitre and offers again Christ as a sacrifice on the Mass, he is my sworn-enemy, now and forever, unless God grants him repentance.

I know I have been on a tangent lately vindicating Greg Bahnsen against AAPC and RefCat charges, but I thought his comments on Papism were to the point, just in case anybody thought he was in cahoots with the above two groups:
This is taken from his sermon, The Road to Rome: Was the Reformation Right?"

So much for ecumenicity.
Joseph Ratzinger, the chief theologian of the Roman Church, architect of the central document of Vatican II, the man behind so much of the theological documents of John Paul II, has been elected Pope, taking the name of Benedict XVI. Surely, the election of Ratzinger, at age 78, follows the normal "routine," and signals a "staying of the course" theologically.
I will surely be watching with interest. Ratzinger would be quite the choice. You do realize that he heads up the modern incarnation of the Inquisition, yes? Not quite the organization it once was, but that would be ironic, to be sure.

Or being bliblical for that matter. See Ephesians 6:12. They are not our enemies more than any other unbeliever. They are our mission.

He's not really the new pope because he's been running the vatican and operating JP2s strings for 2 years now.
I would like to say something nice about Mr. Ratzinger. He's a beer drinker and I believe he would uphold the Augsburg Purity Laws. I hope the fact that he's the antichrist doesn't change his attitude toward beer.

(I'm not convinced he's the antichrist either but I labelled him that to create an absurd balance in my joke for the sake of heightening the humor factor. Don't tell the others.)
Nothing to see here, move along, nothing to see here.

Numerology isn't very compelling as it has been used to identify Nero, various popes, and Ronald Wilson Reagan (6 letters in each name).
I'm surprised Paisley missed a *glaringly* obvious point: if John was thinking of numerology, he was writing in (and, therefore thinking of) Greek, not Latin. You simply can't combine the two. So I would be looking for some numerological point in Greek and not on the Pope's mitre.
On a lighter note, my second son was born with a strage "Gorbachev-ish" (another popular Antichrist pic) birthmark on his forehead. One time, shortly after his birth, we were at a grocery store and I scanned his forehead...just to see...My wife failed to see the humor in the situation.

What is the story behind the name changes of incoming popes? I am unfamiliar with the history and reasoning behind this.
How and why does Karol Watjola (spelling?) become John Paul, and Ratzinger become Benedict?

It might be, but I stand by it.
