amsunshine Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Somehow I guessed it would be "Francis" -- Malachy predicted Petrus Romanus would "pasture his flock" -- I was thinking Francis would be a fitting name. Wasn't St. Francis a shepherd? eta: oh, and he's of Italian heritage -- romanus?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
