My bets are on Pope Benedict. Have you seen the guy? He looks almost exactly like Emperor Palpatine. Every time he speaks in public, I expect his voice to suddenly get really creepy, and for him to say "Execute Order 66." Thats when the previously-underground Civil Faith forces break down my door, along with the doors of millions of other professed atheists, Jews, and Muslims, and put one shot through my head.

They'd forget about everyone in the East.

According to the Prophecy of the Popes apparently written by Saint Malachy, the final Pope will be Peter the Roman, who directly follows Pope Benedict.

Quote:

Petrus Romanus
Ominously, the longest and final motto reads:

In the original Latin:
"In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus,
qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus:
quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur,
et Iudex tremêndus iudicabit populum suum.
Finis."

This translates into English as:
"During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman,
who will feed his sheep in many tribulations;
and when these things are finished, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed,
and the formidable Judge will judge his people.
The End."

This final statement is not found in the 1820 publication of the Prophecy of the Popes by Thomas A. Nelson; it is found in the 1969 re-edited version.

Several anti-popes claiming to be Pope Peter II have emerged in recent years, probably inspired by this motto.

Not all Catholic theologians believe that Petrus Romanus will be the last pope ever, or that he will be called Peter II. Catholic apologist Ronald L. Conte Jr., who in 2002 correctly predicted that the pope immediately after John Paul II would be called Benedict XVI but incorrectly predicted that he would be black,[78] believes that Cardinal Francis Arinze will take the name of Pius XIII after the death of Pope Benedict XVI, and that the description "Peter the Roman” means that the "Pope will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church; this authority is based on his place as a Successor of Peter" and "will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world," and also will be “the last Pope for about a generation (until the 2040's) to rule from Rome."[79] In Conte’s opinion, St. Malachy’s list ends with Petrus Romanus because his reign will coincide with the beginning of the first part of the Tribulation.
