I have a question that maybe some of you could answer. Now I don't claim any knowledge about religion I was baptized catholic, does the Pope ever answer to his given name? I know he has a Brother, I was curious once Pope does he just completely shed his given name?

Apparently the Pope was asked just this once in an interview.. the answer was yes he does shed his given name..

I didn't hear this myself but I enquired and this was the answer I was given.

Thank you for the response, I was wondering if that was the case, I always figured that maybe behind closed doors he still answered to Joseph. But ty again for the feedback
