"Will Tarcisio Bertone be Petrus Romanus? "

Tarcisio Peitro (Peter) Evasio Bertone is the man who holds the #2 position in the Catholic Church and fills in for the Pope when he temporarily cannot perform his duties.  That makes him at least a candidate for the pope, if not one of the bigger front runners.  The front runner has not always been elected, and 1939 was the last time the #2 man was elected pope. Often there have been surprise elections of the pope.  But he is someone that has to be considered one of the top contenders.

One middle name of his is "Peter", and he was born in Romano Canavese on the first day of Chanukah in 1934.  So by birth, he could be considered to fit the description of "Petrus Romanus" by virtue of his birth, given the name "Peter" by his parents, and born not in "Roma" Italy (Rome), but in Romano Canavese, Italy.  Of course, any pope that takes the name "Peter" as his papal name could fit it too.   But this guy has an "extra" way of fitting it that most candidates for pope would not; by birth. 

The Catholic Church has never had a pope named "Peter" since its alleged "first Pope" of Peter the disciple, who I doubt was REALLY a "pope" as they view it.  Perhaps there is a tradition of not taking that name, I don't know.  But no pope has ever done it.  The most popular papal names are

And other names used 8 or fewer times.

I have a method for writing out a name in Hebrew and writing all possible spellings in a cross-writing format that lets me quickly calculate all possible numerical values for all possible spellings without having to spell out and add up each one.  There is no combination of letters that will make his name add up to 666 in Hebrew.  Oh - someone might use bogus letter and add a ALEF or AYIN where it does not belong just to force it to fit - but no natural legitimate spelling of his name will add up to 666. "Peter Bertone" can be spelled "פטר ברטן ", which adds up to 555 in Hebrew.  Perhaps that is meaningless, or perhaps the similarity but difference is a sign he is NOT who you are looking for. 

Whatever the case, I would not be surprised if ANYONE who took the job of pope decided to call himself "Peter" just to psych people out if nothing else.  Perhaps the Enemy WANTS you to go all bonkers over a Pope "Peter" to get you to cry wolf and cause you to lose credibility among people who are not of the faith, but listening to you rant about how the next pope will be the false prophet because he wants to damage your credibility.  Don't fall for it folks.  We have no advanced info suggesting that "Petrus Romanus" is evil in any way.  Don't let the enemy suck you into spreading an idea to non-believers that will damage your credibility.

But there's no doubt that Tarcisio Peter of Romano Canavese Bertone is someone to watch this coming month. He's in line as a natural successor anyway, has birthname cognition with Malachy's last pope description, and seems to be the current pope's handpicked man.
