No no. Entirely wrong. He can't beatify himself.

Of course, he might be able to self declare a different title.

Pope Ignucious the first.

But I suspect that the necessary "white smoke" might need to be derived from a 
similar substance as used for the occassional white smoke signals seen 
eminating from the incinerator at Hove nick (invariably very early on Sunday 
mornings - well it was when I was living in that part of Hove. Like 
the "crem", you could smell it for miles).
