"If your going by the prophecy then its going to be a Benedictine."

Well, the Jews were symbolized by an olive branch in the testaments, so I would think that the Jewish-born Cardinal Lustiger would satisfy the prophecy as well. Moreover, he's 78 years old which would fit the 'caretaker Pope' theory and since he's Cardinal of Paris he'd be a big thumb in the eye of the "superpower of the day" as well.. ;^)

Also, Cardinal Lustiger used to be ranked in the top of papabili lists when he was a bit younger, and his Jewish heritage would confirm the notion that the next Pope should continue the interfaith dialogues.
