I don't disagree; I was just explaining it to the other poster.
It seems to me that the election of Cdl. Ratzinger has pretty much disproven the alleged St. Malachy predictions.
No it hasn't. Malachy called this Pope the glory of the Olives. Israel, in Scripture is always referred to as "the olive tree." The gentiles were grafted into the Jewish Olive tree. Ratzinger is a Jew.
It's difficult to see how his election fits with the motto, "The Glory of the Olives".
