I don't wholly buy it either, hence why I think that it may be interpreted as to the end of our time (age) rather than the end of all time.

It's even possible, based on their videos showing Bergoglio isn't even a "king of Rome", that there is a Pope yet to come that could be St. Malachy's "Peter the Roman", assuming that the papal pretenders are in fact those of his prophecy.

It's interesting that the pre-publication (in the 1500s) list includes some Antipopes, but I don't see any Antiipopes in the list after the publication.  Some people interpret there to be a gap between the Glory of the Olive and Peter the Roman.  Who really knows?

But we do know there has been a great apostasy foretold toward the end just before Antichrist, a prediction which goes back to the early Church Fathers.  I believe that all of that was foretold to give the remnant faithful consolation during those times, lest their faith be shaken.  Had this not been foretold, a lot more people might have lost faith in the Church.

Also, for the St Malachy pope list, my theory is this (from some website I read years ago):
St Malachys list lines up with the “7 ages of the Church” prophecies by Ven Holzhauser.  The 5th age speaks of church heresies, schisms, persecutions, trials, etc.  St Malachys list was found in the 1500s…arguably when the 5th age started (with Martin Luther in 1517).

The last pope of the 5th age (Benedict/Francis) both fall under “glory of the olives” (ie glory of the Jews, is one interpretation).  The next pope *might* be a good one, the pope who will fulfill the consecration, who will try to restore orthodoxy, the start of the 6th age of peace (but it will be a rocky, turbulent start…kind of like any sinner who repents…the hard work starts AFTER you turn back to God.  Your life doesn’t immediately turn around).

Point is, that’s why St Malachys list ends, because it’s only for the 5th age.  Then he mentions the very, very, final pope, Peter, who will rule at the end of the world, the 7th age, after the period of peace.  

Just my 2 cents.

So this also jives with my two more popes theory.
