Hi Kim,

I have a book called "The Prophecies of St. Malachy" published in 1969. The 
prophecy that supposedly corresponds with John Paul II is - De Labore Solis 
(From the toil of the sun or Of the eclipse of the sun). Seeing he has given 
his pontificate to Mary and is so enamored with Fatima I guess this fits 
quite well. 

The next prophecy in the book says - Gloria Olivae (The glory of the Olive) 
"The Order of St. Benedict has claimed by tradition that this pope will come 
from within the Order. St. Benedict himself has prophecied that before the 
end of the world comes about, his Order will triumphantly lead the Catholic 
Church in its fight against evil. The Order of St. Benedict is also know as 
the Olivetans, which may well account for another interpretation of the 
prophecy."

The last pope's prophecy is - Petrus Romanus
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter 
the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the 
seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the 
people."

I have read a few articles myself regarding the likely successor to this 
pope and the name that keeps coming up is Carlo Maria Martini. "He is a 
Jesuit, aged sixty nine. He speaks eleven languages, has written fifty books 
and is Italy's best-selling author. His cathedral congregation regularly 
tops five thousand people. He presides over the largest Catholic diocese 
in the world, situated in Europe, the European Economic Community no less. 
He rules there over two thousand priests, and five million
Catholic laity." (Despatch Magazine, Sept. 1996) Maybe the double cross 
reference has something to do with him?
