Usually, of course, the endings are not endings in fact, but changes, big ones. ie, different life forms on earth, fewer people who have to rebuild civilisations, etc. Just saying...

That date is the end of the Mayan calendar. Many people believe that is the sign that the world is going to end.

Who knows.

well, not just mayan, I think. But again, the world has "ended" a lot of times before, it could just be a new world.

ITA I think the end of the world isn't a destruction but a reformation, and I think that is totally possibly, it may not mean death but a new form of enlightenment for people.

I also have been thinking about St Malachy's prophecy today and it will be interesting to see what happens"

"Gloria Olivae" - Is that something to do with wine or wine growers? Or Olive oil perhaps, maybe someone froma region where there is lots of olive oil being made or olives grown...I could of course be totally wrong if I mistake translation.

I checked out meaning and I find an interesting description on www.crystalinks.com
under the Papal Prophecies,

9. The Glory of the Olive. The Order of St. Benedict has said this Pope will come from their order. It is interesting that Jesus gave his apocalyptic prophecy about the end of time from the Mount of Olives. This Pope will reign during the beginning of the tribulation Jesus spoke of. The 111th prophesy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil.

I'm not a fan of end times "prophecies", I don't think that anyone has knowledge of when the world will end! If one is christian then they should also believe this because even in the bible it says that no one knows but the Father! So I don't buy into any "end times" vision things! No visions or prophecies have been approved by the Catholic Church that tell anything of when exactly the end times will occurr.
