Dom Bettenelli tweeted something that got me thinking. I know that’s dangerous but I’m left alone a lot so it’s either do laundry or blog. Hmmmm…blogging wins.
The Pope’s new book is going to be called something like “Jesus of Nazareth 2.” And I’m like Yaaaaaaawn. Boooooooring. The Pope isn’t as hep as he used to be and I guess he doesn’t understand that sequels need exciting titles to make them marketable.
So I’m going to channel my inner Hollywood power player and help the Pope out. Benny baby, I’m here for ya’. In fact, not just me. I’m asking for all of us to use our collective intellect (which probably adds up to one very wise orangutan) to suggest some titles for the Pope’s new book. We need something that’ll fly off the shelves.
Dom suggested “Jesus of Nazareth 2: The Return of the King.”
I’m thinking:
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: This Time It’s Personal.”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: No More Cheek Turning.”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: Hard to Kill”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: “Don’t Cross him!”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: The Flight of Pontius Pilate.”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: Die Really Hard”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: Love in the time of Pharisees”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: I Know What You Did Last Passover”
“Jesus of Nazareth 2: Unbroken.”
The CMR Public Relations Agency (and Car Wash) is requesting your help too. Give us some suggestions to help the Pope out. The combox is yours.

Not all are theologically super-sound, but I am aiming for the fun here, so forgive me.
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: A Fistful of Silver Coins"
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: The Silence of the Lamb"
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: My Diner with Judas"
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: Salvation begins"
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: 12 Men and a God"

"Jesus of Nazareth 2: No Guts, no Glory!"
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: 'Nuff Said!"

First, gotta go with Roman numerals – know your audience, baby!
Jesus of Nazareth II: My Homey the Pope
Jesus of Nazareth II: Rise Hard
Jesus of Nazareth II: The Next Generation
Jesus of Nazareth II: In The New world with Moroni
Just kidding about that last one.

Matthew: Reverence for our Pope Benedict XVI is called for. Every title reverberates familiarity. Why not "Jesus of Nazareth: THE SON OF MAN"?
February 25, 2011 at 4:25 pm
HELLO?????
Think, most popular part two ever…
"Jesus of Nazareth: The Roman Empire Strikes Back" (In which we learn the truth about the Father)
Matt, it's like you're not even trying…
P.S. even more appropriate when you consider the Pope has said he's going to go back and write another piece covering the nativity which predates the first book…

"Jesus of Nazareth:Always a Traditionalist: Yesterday,Today and still to come."
"Jesus of Nazareth:Never was a Modernists and never will be a Modernists.Amen."

I always think the title of sequels are sooooo long, so I've been calling it "Jesus the Sequel". Simple and to the point. But these other ones are good!
February 25, 2011 at 6:10 pm
"Jesus Of Nazareth II: The Reckoning"
"Jesus Of Nazareth II: To Hell And Back"
"Jesus Of Nazareth II: On A Mission"
I have to say, though, that Chris-2-4's really rocks.
February 25, 2011 at 6:13 pm
how's about…
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: Electric Boogaloo"
or
"Jesus of Nazareth 2: Khaaaaaaaan"
February 25, 2011 at 8:08 pm
How about, " Jesus of Nazareth 2: New And Improved Covenant"

I vote for Chris-2-4. In fact, does the CMR public relations agency have any openings? It sounds like he'd fit right in. 😉
