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.)
"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.)
