As sitetest pointed out, the Order of the Benedictines are also known as 'the Order of the Olives'
It is rumored that Pope Benedict purposely chose his name in reference to the prophecy.

Dear infidel129,
My understanding is that the Olivetans only comprise a small part of the Benedictine world.
Thus, going from the name Pope Benedict to St. Benedict to the Olivetans, and then strangely, to "Glory of the Olive" seems a reach to me.
It would have been less of a stretch for me if Cardinal Martini had been elected pope.
