I don’t think so- I believe he was Catholic.

Malachy’s prophecies are given some attention, but Peter Romani is not one of Malachy’s prophecies. It is written in a different hand, perhaps centuries later. Even if the addendum is also prophetic, there is nothing to suggest that what it describes happens immediately after Malachy’s prophecies.

If one IS to read Malachy’s prophecies as apocalyptic, it certainly seems anti-climatic to discover that “the glory of the olives,” a phrase used by St. Paul to refer to the ultimate consolation and reconciliation of the Jews, refers only to the fact that a pope bears a tie to a nickname for a religious order.
