By fraudulent, you mean, a manipulated text to serve the purpose of the 'holy church'. Oh, you mean St. Malachy's prophecy and not the bible? Either way... A manipulated bill of goods.

This is fraudulent. Saint Malachy's name was attached to this document in a fraudulent way. It's not his prophecy.

Well, which Pope Benedict would St. Malachy have referenced? I'm guessing there were at least 15 other Popes named "Benedict", Is this Pope not named "Pope Benedict XVI" the sixteenth? Maybe there will be another 10 or 12 Benedicts in the future?
