"Francis I" (as in roman numeral for "1") or just "Francis"?

        Sorry to be slow answering this, but aren't I always?  It appears that 
he is going with just Pope Francis, with the I only being added should there 
turn out to be a Francis II sometime in the future.

        I wonder how the numbering would reflect a Pope Frances, though.

Well, we've had plenty of Popes John, and there
was also Pope Joan....
