		They’re two spellings of the same name, and the last pope with that name was Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590).

	Letters (This Rock: November 2003)
		In his piece "Shadowy Popes" ("Frontispiece," July-August 2003), Karl Keating wrote that Gelasius I (492—496) was the first pope to use "Vicar of Christ" as a title.
		Karl Keating cites John Bowden as saying that John II (533—535) "was the first pope to take a new name on consecration ("Frontispiece," July-August 2003)." I thought that had been done much earlier by Pope Sixtus I. Didn’t he choose the name Sixtus because he was the sixth successor of St. Peter?
		You responded that a person who doesn’t follow those teachings is "really a Catholic," although "not a good one." I agree to the extent that it’s a matter of failing to follow Church teachings.
