That’s impossible. Peter the Roman is code for Jesus Himself - the last Pope (when He comes to judge the world).

Whether or not St. Malachy’s prophecies indicate that Peter the Roman is the “next” pope AND the “last pope” is debatable. Since the “last pope” is not numbered, it’s been theorized that the popes between “Glory of the Olive” and “Peter the Roman” were simply not prophesied.

At any rate, it’s only pious speculation to try and divine Malachy’s meaning. We know how the story ends.

Haven't heard that one before.

Do you have some evidence for that?

Every RC writer on this so called "prophecy" says that "Peter the Roman" is the Anti-Christ.
