If the speculations are true that the next Pope will be the Angelic Pastor found in Catholic prophecy, the Marian Pope who will restore the Church, then this author speculates that we may see the following things come to pass:
The objection to her cause for beatification was never her reputation for sanctity. As Fr. Peter Fehlner, F.I. says, "A few years ago, Pope John Paul II, on behalf of the Spanish hierarchy, asked the Holy Office for the Nihil Obstat required in order to reopen for the umpteenth time the cause of the beatification of the Venerable Mary. ...Anyway, the Holy Office said 'No objections to the mystical phenomena however, even though she is a holy woman, an orthodox woman, her Mariology is incompatible with Vatican II.'" In the video linked to, Fr. Fehlner, using Fr. Llamas' book, goes on to explain that the two are compatible, that, in fact, her Mariology anticipates the Mariology of Vatican II in Lumen Gentium.
For me this is but symptomatic of where the Church is regarding a fuller and more complete understanding of Our Lady's role as Spiritual Mother. Therefore, I believe, until we have a genuine appreciation for The Mystical City of God, the lack of which being the only obstacle for her being raised to the altar, then we will not see the Age of Mary come full circle.
Duh!

- The declaration of St. Louis de Montfort as Doctor of the Church.
According to Cardinal Mercier, "a worldwide promotion of Grinion's 'true devotion' among Catholics is identical with the success of the proposal for a dogmatic definion" (Hauke p. 91)
If Cardinal Mercier is right, that the widespread undertaking of St. Louis' true devotion is a crucial factor, then we may very well see Saint Louis declared a Doctor of the Church when many follow his teachings. For then it could be said that "the whole Church is held to have derived great advantage" from his writings.
- The Solemn Definition of Mary as Mediatrix of all grace, Co-redemptrix, and Advocate.
Duh!
