Kind of boring pope name. Now the power move here would have been to take the name God I.

In Sweden they test the air raid alarms every first Monday of the month in case the Russians attack, which apart from being ridiculous is counterproductive because everyone just learned to zone out the air raid sirens. I have been raised since birth to ignore air raid sirens and I'm really good at it by now. Air raid sirens do not make me lose focus on what I am doing, they don't interrupt coversations since you just move a bit closer and speak a bit louder without thinking, they certainly do not wake me up, etc. If they ever turn them on in a real crisis these might not be good skills to have.
Humans do too all the time because not everyone can hear spoken language.
EDIT: After doing some reading I have now learned about sign language and how I owe the local deaf community a huge apology.
Driving around in his popemobile, the fumes from his special consecrated gasoline venting directly into the sealed driver's compartment, with four Swiss guards in there with him firing their weapons full auto into the bulletproof roof at all times. Weeks of eating nothing but communion wafers, no sleep ever. He pulls up to the White House at 200 mph and slams the door open. The Swiss guard, still bleeding from their ears and crazed with gasoline fumes, gunpowder smoke and special papal blessings launch out of the car like racing hounds, the pope following at a full sprint. It's time for JD Vance to meet the new pope.
