Please, Habeant papam. He is not my leader.

Update: the current consensus appears to be "habent papem." Can anyone confirm that? (I got a C in my one semester of Latin, and cattitude isn't home to ask.)

..and not a leader anyway. But then, who understands enough latin to translate "pontifex" these days?

Damn. If only we had a Coronal as well...

In that case, I definitely want a word with the King of Dreams.

As a Discordian pope who lives on Valentine St., I am the Valentine Pontifex.

"Bridge-builder," which I rather doubt will fit Pope Rat. It's the old title of the pagan high priest of Rome, which the Bishop of Rome grabbed when they became the state religion. ("Pontifex maximus", in full, and it was more bridge maintainer, but the -fex part means "maker".)

(I can go from Latin to English a lot more easily than the other way around.)
