~ Domain names: Picking the Pope's Domain Name
If the newly elected pope wants his own website, he'll have to talk to
Rogers Cadenhead first. The Jacksonville, Florida-based writer purchased
the rights to BenedictXVI.com on April 1 -- more than two-and-a-half
weeks before Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger announced that he would assume
the papacy under the name of Benedict XVI.
In an interview shortly after Ratzinger's appointment Cadenhead said the
purchase of the domain name was more of an educated guess than divine
guidance. Newly elected popes often take the names of previous popes in
honor of them. So when media reports last month revealed that Pope John
Paul II was in his final hours, Cadenhead worked out the possible names
that the new pope might select and set out to buy those domains.
