Perhaps I missed it, but has no one mentioned that this prophecy is likely a hoax?

From Wikipedia:

The alleged prophecies were first published by Benedictine monk Fra Arnold de Wyon in 1595. Wyon attributes the prophecies to Saint Malachy, a 12th‑century Irish Archbishop of Armagh.

Given the very accurate description of popes up to 1590 and lack of accuracy after that year, academic historians generally conclude that the alleged prophecies were fabricated, written shortly before they were published.

The current Bishop of Rome, Pope Benedict XVI, would correspond to the pope described in the penultimate prophecy. The list ends with a pope identified as “Peter the Roman”, whose pontificate will allegedly bring the destruction of the city of Rome, the Catholic Church and usher the beginning of the Apocalypse.[1]

The Roman Catholic Church denounces the alleged prophecies as forgery,[2] shoehorning and manipulated postdiction,[3] noting the Biblical passage from the Parable of the Ten Virgins that no human nor angelic being knows the hour or time of the apocalypse.[4][5][6] while the topic continues to be a part of papal hysteria and conspiracy theories, oftentimes fueled by Anti-Catholic sentiments.

In other words, a guy in the 16th century “discovered” a writing from St. Malachy of the 12th century, and it was he who published this prophecy. IMO, 100% a hoax.
