Have you seen this? There does appear to be a logic to the name choice in light of the challenges being faced. It's still a weak fulfillment in my opinion, but then the papacy has just begun.

Danny, thanks for the article. As interesting is the following: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1351430/posts, this was started in February. I just find the prophecies interesting. Mainly, I enjoy parsing Latin. I do think Ratzinger took the name Benedectine to fulfil the prophecy but I'm a bit of a cynic. I mean, why not? It makes for good press and the vatican is probably one of the most savy PR machines in history. JHVHO.

As JPII was dying on April 1st, Cardinal Ratzinger was receiving a Benedictine award. He has had long ties to the Benedictines.
