Before dismissing as "bogus" after one day's examination take a look at post 10. The incidence and correspondance between what was written and what actually was is remarkable and not to be compared simply to someone claiming prophecy fulfillment through a chosen name. The meaning of the current Pope's latin epigram is hidden and will not be fulfilled except during his Papacy. The taking of the name Benedict is only an allusion and in no way fulfills the prophecy. Also please note post 13.

All I meant to say was that the link between Glory of the Olives and Benedict is weak or non-existent, while the link between St. Benedict as the scourge of demons and Cardinal Ratzinger is self-evident. I'll study the posts you point out when I have time.

I would not dismiss a private revelation as bogus just because its vision has, sort of, a low resolution. But I would keep in mind that the resolution is low and not make definitive pronouncements such as Benedict XVI being the last Pope, based on such shaky grounds.
