As to the Identity of De Gloria Olivae, I wouldn't bet on the Benedictine hopes. Malachy's prophecies are best viewed and interpereted after the succession.
My bet is that the next Pope will be one of the younger Cardinals.

My bet is that the next Pope will be one of the younger Cardinals. My bet is that it will not. Cardinals typically will not follow one very long reign with another, though that's what they got with Leo XIII, who lived into his 90s.
My bet is the next Pope will be in his late 60s, and Italian.

My bet is that the next Pope will be one of the younger Cardinals. There aren't more than a handful of Cardinals younger than 65. Paul VI appointed younger men, but John Paul II doesn't seem to have followed that trend.
