i can name three: full thrust, dirtside, and stargrunt. and how many
saints can you name who've brought out second editions of their
miracles?

nah. the anglicans seem to manage rather well without a pope, as do the
orthodox.

besides, according to the Principia Discordia, we are all Discordian
popes, every last man, woman or alternatively-gendered-being jack, jill
or
jo of us. thus, it should be perfectly straightforward to canonize mr
tuffley. in fact, if we're not careful, we could end up canonizing him
several times, as several of us might use our papal discretion
simultaneously. thus, we'd have to refer to the man as St St St St Jon
of
Barking Tye. this would obviously not be helpful (although it would, of
course, be highly Discordian).
