Will the next Pope be named Benedict?

This market will resolve according to the official papal name chosen by the next Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Only names that exactly match the listed option will qualify. Compound names will not count for the single name (e.g. "John Paul" would not count for “John”). If no new pope is elected by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No." The primary resolution source for this market will be the official announcement from the Catholic Church, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
