My own favourite Lucius hypothesis comes from the list of reigning
popes during the 3rd century. Looks like this:

St. Fabianus (236-250)
St. Cornelius (251-253), died a martyr (Maybe Fudge is the one who is
going to die?)
St Lucius I (253-254)

(source: the Catholic Encyclopedia, http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/)

OK, maybe we shouldn't take this to detailed analysis (Lucius wasn't
an uncommon name in ancient Rome) But I can't stop thinking what might
happen when Cornelius Fudge has stopped being useful? Will he like his
namesake be followed by a Lucius?

My first post, BTW. Love this group.
