Not that I put alot of stock into this "prophecy", but some guy by the name of St. Malachi "prophecized" that there were be 112 Popes, with the last one being called Peter the Roman.
Benedict is the 111th one, and for now the current frontrunner is Ghana's Cardinal Peter Turkson.

As Predicted By St. Malachy Before Tom Horn & Cris Putnam -- The Last Pope Is Here!

According to this ancient prophecy, the very next pope (following Benedict XVI) will be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman. The final segment of the prophecy reads:
In persecutione extrema S. R. E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis deruetur et judex tremendus judicabit populum. Finis.[xii]
Which is rendered:
In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations; when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End.[xiii]...
