Original Title: TIL that a purported 12th century prophecy claims to list all future Catholic popes until the end of the world; the current pope would be the last one on the list. Historians believe it is a 16th century forgery: the list appeared in 1595 and better describes pre-1590 popes than subsequent ones.
