Saint Malachy's predictions are no different than Nostradamus. They are so vague that it becomes easy to find some aspect of the prediction that seems right. God sake lets just let dump the College of Cardinals when Pope Benedict passes and let some half azzed writer from The Weekly World News figure out who Saint Malachy picked.
No need to be surprised. I’m only posting the threads on that subject. Lots of similar opinions (to yours) on them.
