Interesting. The Benedictines ( and St. Malachi?) predicted Pope #267 would come from their order and the new pope names himself Benedict 16.

Comments?

Is he Benedictine?

Right and it should have been Lustiger. (Gloriae Olivae). Instead they pick Ratzinger who gave himself the name, Benadictine. Sheesh. The guy was a Nazi in his youth. I'm sorry, you don't escape that past.
