Well, as mentioned in another post, I heard that there is a prophecy "master" list that only has three more papal names on it. I don't see any way that a Pope can build a bridge with radical Islamists. But, perhaps 30 years ago, no one could have believed that a Pope would be a staunch foe of communism after all the years of papal going-along-and-getting-along with Nazis and Fascists.
I think its a toss up as to the biggest crisis facing the church. Homosexual and or pedophile priests (and others in the world) or the rise of Islam.
I'm concerned that Arinze may be another intereligious appeaser. I hope he doesn't have a photo op where he kisses the Koran.
You are thinking of the St. Malachy prophecy. If you believe that stuff, there are only two more popes after JPII. The Catholic Church is supposed to be destroyed (by Muslims perhaps).
