ROME (Reuters) - Maybe it describes the colour of his skin or place of
birth.
But the next Pope will be the "Olive" Pope, according to a 12th century
prophecy that foresees just two remaining pontificates before the end
of the world.
The often-cited -- and contested -- prediction is attributed to St.
Malachy, an Irish archbishop recognised by members of the Church for
his ability to read the future and who was canonised more than 800
years ago.
St. Malachy was said to have had a vision during a trip to Rome around
1139 of the remaining 112 Popes before the Last Judgment, the time when
the bible says God separates the wicked from the righteous at the end
of time.
The next Pope will be number 111 on that list and is described in the
text as the "Glory of the Olive".
Like any good prophecy, there is plenty of room for interpretation: he
could be "olive" skinned, heralding from Latin America, Africa or the
Mediterranean.
"It could even be a Pope of Jewish origin, since the olive branch is a
biblical symbol for the people of Israel," speculated Italy's La Stampa
newspaper.
Malachy-watchers had long speculated the "Olive" Pope would come from
the Order of Saint Benedict, a branch of which is known as the
Olivetans. But at the age of 93, the only Benedictine cardinal is now
too old to become Pope.
The cut-off age is 80.
ECLIPSE
The Malachy prophecy has been the subject of controversy for centuries.
Critics say it is a forgery, possibly distributed as campaign
propaganda in the late 16th century to favour a cardinal during the
conclave.
But believers point to similarities with the pontiffs. Pope John Paul
II, number 110, was described in the prophecy as "de labore solis" --
or "of the labour of the sun".
He was born on May 18, 1920, the same day as a solar eclipse. The
pontiff was buried on April 8, 2005 -- the same day as a partial
eclipse, visible in the Americas.
Some take the prophecy relating to John Paul less literally and say it
simply referred to the Polish Pope's birthplace in eastern Europe. The
sun rises in the East.
The 109th on the list, Pope John Paul I, was dubbed as "de medietate
lunae" or "half moon" by the prophecy. Believers say this described his
short stint in the papacy of just over a month, stretching from one
partial lunar cycle to another.
More pressing, perhaps, for doomsayers are the references to the last
Pope on the list "Petrus Romanus", or Peter the Roman, and makes
mention of the destruction of "the city of seven hills" -- Rome.
"During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter the Roman
will rule, feeding the flock through many tribulations, at the end of
which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable
judge will judge his people," it says.
"The end."

However it is rather coincidental, the character readings, for popes
passed.
But reading vague ideas of eclipses etc into an explanation, is really
doing a Turi.

HOORAH Wally, I totally agree, the next Pope will be Peter Romanus (OR, of Roman
descent).
But, MaLackey and Nostradamus both predicted a short lived Papacy - only time will
tell ???
Just A Thought.
Have A Nice Day :-[)
