Particularly considering he passed away in 2005?

Most everyone has heard of the controversial Prophecies of Saint Malachy, which, it is said, were given by the 12th century Irish bishop. The prophecies are a series of brief and enigmatic statements in Latin pertaining to each of the future popes after Malachy's day, concluding with the final entry:
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and thedreadful Judge will judge the people. The End."
It's not my intention here to enter into the debate over whether these prophecies are authentic or not — there are arguments for and against their authenticity — but rather, I mention this issue in conjunction with the recent announcement that Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana (who is clearly not a Roman by birth) has been called to Rome to join the Vatican Curia. I am sure that this move will fuel discussion and speculation among those who will see in Cardinal Turkson's appointment something which may be connected with the Prophecies of Saint Malachy. . . .

Particularly considering he passed away in 2005?
I understand completely. Just pointing out that Cardinal Turkson probably isn't that high on the list of papabile. At least not this time around.

You’re probably talking about the Hungarian I was joking about, Peter Cardinal Erdo. No, he’s not actually a gypsy, but being a Hungarian, I joked about him being Peter the Romani.

(UPDATE)
I take that back: Turns out Peter Cardinal Erdo really has built close ties to the Romani.
Now you’ve gone and violated Cardinal Law. Which is better than being violated BY Cardinal Law.
Yes, he was the one I read about in the past. However, it is a shame that the Church can’t find someone who is Irish to be Pope. After all, I always thought God is Irish. Please don’t argue to the contrary and spoil my day.
Now that is plain disgusting. Enough of that kind of thing.
**Will Cardinal Peter Turkson Someday Become “Peter the Roman”?**
And the last Pope that will send the REAL Catholic Church underground like it is right now in China?
The three cardinals who are over 80 are:
_Monsignor Andrea Cordero Lanza Di Montezemolo, archpriest of the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, in Rome.
_Monsignor Peter Poreku Dery, archbishop emeritus of Tamale, Ghana.
_Rev. Albert Vanhoye, the former Jesuit rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute and secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commission.

Seems like the last Pope will be Peter Kodwo Appiah Card. TURKSON:

Ah,to be sure—y’are someone after me own heart, y’are.

Jesus Christ has raised me from the dead!
I am in the process of attempting to respond to the first 1000 results in a google search for ‘Peter the Roman’, the final pontiff in the St. Malachy prophecies. Total results are over 3 million. Yet, the prophecy given in 1139 A.D. was in virtual obscurity for over 400 years until the invention of the printing press. In the computer age there has been a resurgence in the interest of the list of names.
As Jesus Christ spoke of not rejoicing over our ability to pray that our joy may be full, but that our names are written in heaven, and the fact that Jesus Christ has raised me from the dead to the office of ‘Peter the Roman’, I hold that the list of names in the St. Malachy prophecies are akin to, if not exactly, those very names written in heaven.
Even Nostradamus spoke of ‘Peter the Roman’ in Century VII, #24.
The use of ‘the strong one’ in the quatrain refers to Daniel 7:7.
Jesus Christ’s resurrecting me is in His fulfillment of an agreement of contract law (Matthew 3:15) into which both He and I entered prior to my baptising Him.
This entry came up in the 1-100 page of results.
I am pleased to meet you.
Please feel free to respond.
The reality of the future is not totally revealed to us, it is written, “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard of the wonders God has in store for us.”
As Christ had sent me to bear him witness, I now bear witness that HEAVEN IS GREAT!!!
The world will be saved through the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Brown Scapular and Rosary as prophesied.
I normally use my surname, Edward Palamar, but I remain:
the resurrected John,
Prophet of the Most High,
whom Jesus Christ called the “Elias who was to come.”,
St. John the Baptist,
enjoying the rapture in the call of duty as Peter the Roman

The regular problem I find in explaining what is plain to me (private revelation) is that some others regard what I say as a claim, as if they are holding something of mine (as a cloak check) that I need to present proof in order to regain that something of mine. For anyone to be this way indicates they indeed do have or think they have something of mine, else they wouldn’t try to barter as such. Christ himself said, “An evil and wicked generation demands a sign.” In that regard, I could just as well keep my mouth shut. But I do rejoice.
I trust Jesus as God to know the better of His plans, especially when it comes to putting spirit in and out of men. Is not our breath the breath of God? I think so. Christ also said, “If you are prepared to receive it, he (John [the Baptist]) was the Elijah who was to come.” I, personally, don’t think I was prepared to recieve it, but am capable now of understanding that.
God once took a man to heaven bodily, the prophet Elijah. As God appeared to Moses in the burning bush because to see God’s glory directly would have caused Moses to die, something happened to Elijah to prevent him from suffering a similar fate for many years even though it is recorded that he went to heaven in a whirlwind. Any time beyond 120 years would have been the normal end for Elijah. It was part of God’s plan to bring Elijah back in spirit, not in the flesh.
The spirit of Elijah was put back into corruptable flesh and God had created a living soul. Christ died to save souls. The Father in heaven via the angel gave the name “John” to that particular living soul. In essence, “John” was not given a seperate breath but that of Elijah. But when Christ raises that soul of “John”, “John” is given a new course of both body and spirit, making “John” a living soul again.
In essence, I have been given a free ride. But such is the existence of any creature of God. “God blesses and curses whom He pleases.” All living souls owe their existences to God, the Giver of Life. It is God who makes their souls alive. It is God’s prerogative to name and apportion spirit as He sees proper.
