Prophecy of the popes,what does the last pope signify?

The prophecies of the popes are 112 phrases in Latin corresponding to 112 popes
in succession that are interpreted on Wikipedia under the title of
"The prophecy of the popes" , the last two prophecies reads as follows



"Glory of the olive." Benedict XVI (2005–present) Joseph Ratzinger Chose the name Benedict after St. Benedict who started the Benedictine order whose Crest is an Olive Branch.



"Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end."

What does these 112 prophecies mean and what do the last 2 prophecies mean
for mankind?

I think every Catholic should be aware of St. Malachy prophecies

ST. MALACHY O’MORGAIR, ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH, IRELAND

St. Malachy (1049 - 1148) was an Irish Bishop, prophet, and seer, who prophesied the reign of future popes by a one-sentence verse to describe each popes’ characteristics.


Due to the unparalleled accuracy of these 112 pope prophecies I think this should
be the most important prophecy ever written. It should get more recognition.

The predictions after 1590 were quite far-fetched in many cases. It seems like they really wanted the prophecy to fit. It also provides no names for the popes after 1595 when it was first published like it does with all the other popes prior to it's publication. I find it suspicious that there is absolutely no record of the prophecy until it was published in 1595.

It seems like a fake, and apparently it was accused of being a fake as early as the 18th century.
