Why Popes Change Their Names.

II il a fact generally Known that 7,
monks and nuns oil ASSUMING tbeH
vows. and popes on ascending tue
throne, usually change
their names The reason OF this
change in the case of the popes is a
supers,itious belief that unless tb's
/, done the new pontifi will not i've
long. The custom has prevailed
since it was inaugurated IN 300 ny
Octavian Cont, who assumed the
name aud title of John MI. Julius
Medici, would have made u breach
had he been permitted, but his
friends prevailed upon him to take
the name of Clement, he being the
seventh pope to bear that name.
Thirt, two years later, in 1902
Narcrlius Servins was elected; as
Macelius III. therefore, he assembled
the throne on the ninth of April
lie was u young man and III robns1
health, and yet he lived but twenty
one DAYS after his elevation. Since
that time no pope has ventured tf
offend against the tradition. -,
IL is q little singular that WINE
the name of John has been favor
tie one, no less than twenty.os'
Popes having chosen it, none have
chosen it since the death of JOIN
XXII.in l416. The first Pope bear
ing the name of Pins took the posi-
tiou l4o. and the name did not reap
near after his death till l4oS.
