Have The Sale Of Eggs Benedict Declined With The Change Of Pope?

I often have Eggs Benedict for brunch on Sunday, as I did today.  Hence my question!

Wikipedia gives a couple of explanations for the name of the dish.  I like this one.

In the early eighteenth century Pope Benedict XIII was so fond of a particular egg dish, that he requested it very often. It is also believed that Benedict XIII had an illness which contributed to his desire for the egg dish.

I seem to be a bit addicted to eggs and always have been.
