I am undeniably a sedevacantist, so whatever emanates, or has emanated from Rome's current or past popes subsequent to Vatican II are of no value to me.
It reads pretty much that St. Francis was just restating the prophecy of Jesus, John and Paul.
So “fast approaching” = 890 years, more or less.

Also: Despite the denials, speculations that Benedict had been forced to resign persist to this day.

There is NO evidence to support the notion that Pope Emeritus Benedict was *forced* to resign.
I would be concerned if the Archbishop of the Diocese of New York somehow found himself in the Papacy.
You are aware of Clement VII? He was not a validly elected pope.
You are also aware, at least in modern times, there have been issues with Franciscans in Medjugorje.
So, yes, St. Francis was right about those things.
I will stick with the biblical prophecies.
