I would also avoid the name "Pope Fabian." You may as well call yourself "Pope Sha-Na-Na."

(Pope Fabian was the 20th Pope, and reigned from 236 - 250.)

I love the story how he became Pope. He died a martyr.

Pope Fabian

Pope Fabian ruled from 10 January 236 to 20 January 250, succeeding Pope Anterus. He is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church.

Eusebius of Caesarea (Church History, VI. 29) relates how the Christians, having assembled in Rome to elect a new pope, saw a dove alight upon the head of Fabian, a layman and stranger to the city, who was thus marked out for this dignity and was at once proclaimed bishop by acclamation, although there were several famous men among the candidates for the vacant position.

I don't know, but times may be right for a Pope Fabian of Pompadour...

Pope Cardacian. Attracts the younger crowd.

I thought Lando was in Babylon 5.

The Cardacians were DS9.
