This prophecy is about the sitting pope, Benedict XVI formerly cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
Ratzinger chose the name Benedict, and the Benedicteans are often called the Olivetans. Vague OK, but anyway, they fit.

Actually, the only part of Malachy's prophecy relating to Benedict would be 'Glory of the olive.'
The second part relates to the next pope known as 'Peter the Roman' according to the prophecy.
Benedict:
Glory of the Olive.
The Next Pope:
During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations:
and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed,
and the formidable Judge will judge His people.
The End.
There's some speculation that the 'Peter the Roman' prophecy was a later addition but that rumor has pretty much been debunked since all known copies contain that excerpt. Then some claim 'The Glory of the Olive' and 'Peter the Roman' are predicting the same person due to Peter not being numbered... but they don't realize any of them are numbered.
So if this prophecy is correct, we have one more to go who will be Peter the Roman.

As AshleyD points out his very coat of arms includes olive branches. It fits perfectly.

Not exactly. Your association simply makes sense to you.

I am of the opinion or perhaps rather understanding if I may, given the substantial amount of circumstantial evidence, that these prophecies or "prophecies" if it fits you better, always seem to fit the cardinal elected for the papacy. WHY they fit, is a question of either faith or common sense. They are all readily available, and the originator is a canonised saint, which also bear rule for his writings. Therefore the cardinal who is elected has either been favored by the words of the prophecy itself, or he would simply make them fit when elected pope. We see the same pattern with the Apocalypse of John. It has been tried orchestrated into reality a great number of times. Nearly every war since the day John sealed his prophecies, has been a show "la galleria". Can't you hear the drums of war and feel Babylon stumbling and shaking? Complete with millstone and all....
"People will shout Peace Peace, but there will be no peace!"
"Do you believe I have come to bring peace? No, a sword!"
