That's the problem with prophecy. Usually no specific time is given because most timelines are driven by what the "prophet" desires to be true.
If a prophecy were correct then it would have nothing to do with what the prophet desires to be true - it would only have to do with what is true.

The next pope must surely be American from God's chosen people.

Taking your statement at face value, however, I'm doubting it.
For one thing, popes are chosen by men, not God, no matter what those cardinals might tell you.

does anyone know why Christ's apostle,
has to be an out of touch grumpy old fossil?
Not in touch with the masses today,
and all his priests are locked away.
Cardinals living in luxury and pomp,
some even guilty of having a romp.
Those not guilty of sexual deviation,
are on the run for misappropriation.
Wickedness and evil alive and well
all in the shadow of a Vatican bell.
Conclave now, Carmalengo writes a letter,
don't think the next guy will do any better.

I do believe that Clint was a good bit more racist.

Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyInterestingly, the reason the Church did not publicly release the details of the Third Secret of Fatima was because it foretold an increasing Apostasy within the Church and that the Church would eventually become infested with demons and a Satanic influence, possibly as high as the Pope himself. This seems to dove-tail in nicely with St. Malachy's "Prophecy of the Popes".

That's what the prophecy says, but you know how prophecy, especially modern prophecy, goes...
With that prophecy and a buck and a half, you can get a cup of coffee.
