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.

Perhaps, given the gravity of Malachy's prophecies, I should have said My Hope is that the next Pope will be one of the younger Cardinals, and have low cholesterol!

Isn't there at least one cardinal who has never been publicly identified due to the possibility of persecution where he lives?
