Who's next Pope? Trump or Peter the Roman?

Who will be the next pope? Some of the top possible candidates
Hey, can I be the next pope? - Get real, Don. - C'mon, Jorgie, who cares? Can I be Antipope?
(CBS News) April 26, 2025: Who will be the next pope? Here's a look at some of the top possible papal candidates as the cardinals prepare for the papal conclave (Latin for "with key," i.e., "behind locked doors"), which will take place in early May, likely after Cinco de Mayo. They promise to start on May 7, 2025.
Hungary is a landlocked Central European country not far from Italy (ancient Rome). Spanning much of the Carpathian Basin, it is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine to the northeast, Romania to the east and southeast, Serbia to the south, Croatia and Slovenia to the southwest, and Austria to the west.
Hungary lies within the drainage basin of the Danube River and is dominated by great lowland plains. It has a population of 9.6 million, consisting mostly of ethnic Hungarians and a significant Romani minority.
Hungarian is the official language; it is among the few in Europe that lies outside the Indo-European family of languages [13].
Budapest is the country's capital and its largest city, the dominant cultural and economic center [14, 15]. Prior to the foundation of the Hungarian state, various peoples settled in the territory of present-day Hungary, including the Romans, Celts, Huns, Germanic peoples, Avars, and Slavs.
Hungarian statehood is traced to the Principality of Hungary, which was established in the late 9th century by Álmos and his son Árpád through the conquest of the Carpathian Basin [16, 17].
King Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000 and forcibly converted his realm into a Christian kingdom.
The medieval Kingdom of Hungary was a European power, reaching its height in the Late Middle Ages [18]. MoreCould anyone from modern Hungary be reasonably referred to as a "Roman"? If so and such a person bore the name "Peter," that would make that man "Peter the Roman" for predictive purposes, making Saint Malachy close enough in his ancient prediction.
The funniest thing about the upcoming papal conclave is the FACT that anyone can be installed as pope. One only has to have been confirmed as a Catholic after First Communion, which doesn't actually mean one has to be a Catholic, just in official records. One could be confirmed now, before beginning. One could be the most popular kind of Catholic: Lapsed. Unlapse or say you're back. Oh, yeah, though -- most Catholics don't qualify. Boys only. It's an Old Boys' Club. It's the original corporation, all top-down hierarchy and a strict Patriarchy. Even though it can be anyone, the cardinals always pick a fellow cardinal. Go figure.
Prophecy of the Popes: Petrus Romanus (aka a dark skinned "Peter the Roman"?) Says who? Says Irish Catholic Saint Malachy: Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus (the "Prophecy of Saint-Archbishop Malachy, concerning the Supreme Pontiffs")
Never mind the Virgin Mary. Like the name of a ship, most of which are by convention named after females, she's just for show. Anyway, it has already been decided, and this conclave business is all for show. Heard about the smoke? The color of it will tell if it's black or white. Isn't that a lovely imperial Roman custom? Who knew the Holy (See)Roman Empire (religious arm), as part of the Ring of Power and the Empire of the City, still ruled the world alongside Washington DC (military arm) and London's high-street (financial arm)?
