Ole' John Paul spoke at least 7 languages.. not including English.... I am of the belief that the "Big Cahoonah" upstairs doesn't speak English as he has never answered my sorry ass..So thats why we need a multi linguistic Pope to yak for us..

role has earned him uncomplimentary nicknames like "God's rottweiler," reported on his "brief membership" in the Hitler youth movement and service, in the final stretch of the war, in a German anti-aircraft unit.
In his memoirs, Ratzinger speaks openly of being enrolled in the Nazi youth movement against his will when he was 14 in 1941, when membership was compulsory. He says he was soon let out because of his studies for the priesthood.
Two years later, he was drafted into a Nazi anti-aircraft unit as a helper, a common fate for teenage boys too young to be soldiers. Enrolled as a soldier at 18, in the last months of the war, he barely finished basic training.

Ok Glass, yes, I'm thinking this may be the last Pope, which in that case, since he is older than human life expectancy already, may be heralding in Jesus, as the next replacement in the very, VERY near future! I don't know his beliefs yet, so we will have to wait and see who's side he is on!

what do you mean he is the last pope..? are they implying that after him the world is over, or that after years of warshipping that they decided its a farce and are going on with their lives without god?

There are several people, who have prophecied through the years, that there would only be a certain number of Popes, and according to them, this one, is the last one, before the Biblical rapture!

Glass take a good look at his eyes... Hitler would have killed for eyes that evil looking. You are not the only one with a bad feeling about this one.

"Here's the way I look at the multiple prophecies. The next Pope, 'the glory of olives' and the 'black pope' (not to be confused with the Jesuits), will be Francis Arinze. I wouldn't be suprised if he will take the name Pope Benedict XVI, even though his mother was Christenized as Benedict. He is not the anti-christ and will only hold his seat for seven months before being assassinated. Then there will be one more last Pope, 'Petrus Romanus,' coming from Italy. The destruction of the Vatican and Rome, 'city of seven hills,' and the Judgement will happen in this reign.
I'm not sure if I believe in any of this, but it is interesting.

Interesting that someone should bring up the "black pope". I believe I heard that he preferred wearing black robes.

i found this article to be pretty interesting it was written in november of 2004 have a read
The First Pope After John Paul II
Pope #111 on St. Malachy's list is given the phrase: “From the Glory of the Olive.” This prophetic phrase has several meanings which correctly apply to the next Pope after John Paul II.
a. What is the glory of the olive? The olive branch is a well-known symbol of peace. The glory of the olive is peace. The next Pope after John Paul II will be a man of great peace. Peace will be his banner, peace will be his work, peace will be his goal. He will seek peace among individuals, among nations, among Catholics, between Catholics and other Christians, and between Catholics and adherents of other religions. The next Pope after John Paul II will have a Pontificate distinguished for seeking Peace around the world. He is correctly called the Pope of Peace.
St. Malachy's prophecy about John Paul II fit his Pontificate well, once it began. But, before being elected Pope, Karol Wojtyla did not distinguish himself by traveling constantly. The next Pope after John Paul II may not have distinguished himself yet in works of peace-making. Or, he may have distinguished himself in peace-making in God's eyes, but not yet in the eyes of the world.
b. Some say that this prediction of St. Malachy, “From the Glory of the Olive,” refers to the Order of St. Benedict, because they have a well-known group within their order called the 'Olivetans.' There is some merit to this idea. But it does not mean that this Pope will come from the Order of St. Benedict, but rather that he will take the name of Saint Benedict and will live in imitation of him.
c. The next Pope after John Paul II will take the name Pope Benedict XVI, in imitation of Saint Benedict and also of Pope Benedict XV. Just as Pope Benedict XV was an emissary of peace, so will Pope Benedict XVI be an emissary of peace. Just as Pope Benedict XV sought peace and spoke of peace and wrote papal documents seeking peace, so will Pope Benedict XVI do also. Just as Pope Benedict XV failed to achieve peace in the world, so will Pope Benedict XVI fail to achieve peace in the world. Just as the Pontificate of Benedict XV began prior to World War I, so will the Pontificate of Benedict XVI occur prior to World War III. After the Pontificate of Benedict XVI, World War III will begin. The Arab nations will threaten and attack the United States; they will threaten, attack, invade and conquer Europe; they will threaten, attack, invade and conquer the northern part of Africa. It is God's will.
