I may be late in finding this, if it is common knowledge then I am ready for embarrassment. In light of the failed prophecy of the Rapture I did some searching and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes
Apparently a catholic saint named St. Malachy has predicted every Pope since 1143, with a few mistakes. The book was published in 1595, having been lost for over 400 years. For each of his prophecy's has a small phrase, the popes name, and in most cases an explanation of the phrase. It seems from reading that he was spot on.
Even more interesting, the last pope he predicted I could gather comes after the current Pope Benedict XVI. He said the church would end with this next pope.

Fake? Wrong? I don't know.
PS: I am not Catholic, don't jump on me In fact I am more antagonistic than Christian. And If this needs to be in Kavar's Corner it can be moved.
