Is Pope Francis the last pope?
If you mean the Malachi Pope Prophesy, Benedict was the last Pope. Originally Malachi predicted only 111 future Popes. Benedict was the 111th. The 112th name on the list was added 400 years after the death of Malachi by a Benedictine monk that felt the Church should go 'out' on a more positive note. He added Peter the Roman, not Malachi. So, Peter the Roman is not a valid part of the Malachi predictions.
