This document forms part of the Mirabilis liber, a book of gathered prophecies that was published in 1522, this particular section was a prophecy written by St.Cyril concerning an angelic pastor.
It is said that this man, once a hermit, will be holy and saintly to the extent that he ends up as Pope, where he sets about to make major reform within the church, it is said that he will ban hymn-singing and also dancing and such things as banning women from wearing jewelry.
It is also said that he will remain the pope for a long time, and after his death will follow three more popes who will follow his teachings and that these will be called the angelic pastors.
I did a little research and could not find history since 1522 to match this prophecy, it is possible that this prophecy is strongly linked to what was happening in the church at the time that this publication came out. Pope Alexander VI (1492-1503) had been a terrible pope and had fathered several children by various mistresses. In 1510 Martin Luther had made his trip to Rome and witnessed the immorality of the clergy, which eventually led to what is called the Reformation. It may be seen here that this prophecy is very much linked to the immorality going on at the time, foreseeing a Pope who would change things to stop the corruptions.
