My personal thought is that he is definitely a "Wheelchair Pontiff" who was elected as a compromise pope during a period of great acrimony and duress between Libs and Conservatives in Rome. Hence, the eight elections (or seven, as some claim). One group wheels him in one direction for a distance, then another turns him and pushes him in another direction, much to the utter confusion of the right-minded faithful.
Most prophetic visions state that the next "Restoration" pope (Gloriae Olivae) will be picked by a "heavenly light" being shown on him. (College of Cardinals extinct through corruption of the anti-forces in Rome?) The likely candidate is from a Traditional Benedictine monastery somewhere, who is of no importance in the present corrupt version of the church.....A highly-gifted man of God and the Benedictine Rule, who will follow the likes of previous great monk-popes. e.g. St. Gregory the Great. We need him badly and soon. Pray for JP II to somehow find the way back, even with his limited faculties. When he does, he will head into exile for his final days...Then what? I don't have a clue as to the duration or the deeds we face in our troubled land of the Roman Catholic Church. Close your eyes tight and pray hard for a soft landing I guess...PAX.

"who is of no importance in the present corrupt version of the church.....A highly-gifted man of God and the Benedictine Rule"

Sounds like the right man for the job! Your words "most prophetic visions" have me wondering. Who else connected this last Pope with the Benedictine order?

A couple of years ago someone asked JP II about his successor. At that time he said he had not appointed him yet to the College of Cardinals. Any recent appointments from the Benedictines? Does the Pope have to be a Cardinal to be chosen? I read somewhere he does not.
