I remember distinctly around the time Pope Paul died reading about prophesies concerning reaching the end of the Papal line. Sorry, I can't remember the source.

But one of the features was that you'd have two very short term Popes in a row. So when JPI died so quickly I thought hmmmmmm. Course JPII sat on the chair for 25 years so that falsifies that part.

Unless, you consider that JPII ALMOST died a few years into his rein and WOULD have died except for (in his opinion) a miraculous intervention......God altering the future?

This prophesy stuff can be seductive. And yes fun. I think if you believe it about 10%, that's about right.
