The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict – not St. Malachy – has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil.

Wow. And he took the name Benedict...

Taking the name Benedict however, does NOT mean he is a Benedictine. Ratzinger will have to be a member of that order, which I think someone on here has already confirmed that he is not. Just the name does not confer any meaning itself. Benedict may well be a recognition of the Father of Western monasticism, and a saint whose very doctrine called for balance and mediation between work, study, and prayer. I think this bit of information is what goes completely over the talking heads.
