"What you've outlined is basically what many evangelicals believe (excluding the specifically RCC stuff). Where did you learn this? I didn't know Catholics believed these things."

I'm not Catholic, I'm Southern Baptist, so you can cast me in the protestant/evangelical camp.

I've known of Malachy's prophecy since 5th Grade, which was back in 1972?. We had a public school teacher who not only taught us how aggressive the Muslims were but also mentioned this one day. I've followed it every since.

The stuff from Revelation is kind of synopsis of several people's views who ahve studied prophecy extensively. But some of it is just the plain reading of Revelation.

I still like Hal Linsay's take on the prophecies. I know there are people who hate Hal, primarily because back in the 70's he made a statement of "if this, if that, if we interepreted this right, if this, if that, then Jesus might come back in the 80's. He was wrong of course, but his statement had so many qualifiers that, and he himself claimed no special gift of prophecy, so I don't see how the charge of "false prophet" that is laid against him is valid.

I know the Catholics have some other prophecies including the third vision of Fatima and others. I don't know how much weight to assign them though.

And I also know that Notradamus made prophecies about the Pope. However because of the way Notradamus received his, using a cyrstal ball and with the guidance of an unnamed spirit, not thought to be God, I completely discount anything Notradamus has to say. Some of it might well be true, but considering the source, I have a very high distrust factor of it. I expect some of it to be true but other parts to be false in very misleading ways.
