My prediction for the papacy: Jose da Cruz Policarpo.

Who for those Malachy subscribers graduated from the Olivais Seminary in Lisbon with a degree in Philosophy and Theology.

That is interesting. I had not considered the "olive" as pertaining to the seminary. There was much talk about the "olive" meaning he would have been born Jewish. Cardinal Lustiger was born Jewish, but I think he is retired. Not sure how a Cardinal retires, but it's probably not him.

"Francis was born 73 years ago into the family of Joseph Arinze Nwankwu and Benedict Arinze. Pa. Arinze Nwankwu who died at about the age of 87 was converted and baptised in the Catholic Church along with his wife, Benedict, now deceased, in about 1957. It was then that he adopted the baptismal name of "Joseph" with his wife, adopting "Benedict", according to Chief Christopher Arinze, 79, the cardinal's eldest brother." - http://allafrica.com/stories/200504090142.html

Could still be Francis Arinze.
