has the madness been and gone?

earlier today i was reading thoroughly through st. malachy's prophecies. (for those who don't know, his prophecies accurately describe popes. he prophesizes that the last pope will be named peter the roman, and so on and so forth...) although a feeling in my gut tells me that they're probably not gonna happen, i can't help but admit and accept that the fact that his evidence and his prophecies are actually very credible.

and now, i don't know which way to look.

although it's been said that the prophecy has been thrown somewhat out of whack due to the fact that ratzinger is a german and not french (which st. malachy prophecized him to be) but that's just a small thing. some other prophecies say that ratzinger's supposed to be the bad guy.

it's still all speculations from here - the pope hasn't been pope for a week yet.
