Fun fact: According to something called the Prophecy of the Popes (probably written around 1490), Benedict XVI would be the penultimate pope.

The last is named as Peter the Roman.

"In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop].
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations:
and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [Rome] will be destroyed,
and the terrible judge will judge his people.
The End."

And the name of the frontrunner? Peter.

This is probably all complete nonsense, but it's fun nonetheless.

FYI: Some where around this prophecy it mentions that he will also be black. I can't rememebr where I read it about the black pope lol.

People seem to think Obama is the black pope that will ruin America haha.
