What do you make of the prophecy of Saint Malachy which says this is the last pope?

Question

I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. Apparently the Saint fell into a trance and made a list of all future popes ending with the 111th - Pope Benny. Later some added one more Pope to the list.

So does this mean then end of Catholicism as a religion, or the end of the world, or just another drunken Saint?

Answer 1

I've found out about that just prior to the death of Pope John Paul II and to me, it appears to be right on ... specially with the Saint's description and the real demeanor of Pope Benedict XVI.

I really believe a lot of people are going to come to realize that Jesus is a temptation, (like that which occurred in Eden) not the Savior he claimed to be and as the truth comes out, so too will the church fall apart. - There's a lot of truth in the "Lost Gospels" that Christianity is in denial about. Truth is, there is only One God and that God is Holy. The First of the 10 Commandments will tell you that ... and Jesus' coming was the reason God paid Moses and the people a PERSONAL VISIT on the Mountain to write the TRUTH in Stone.

Moreover, Pope John Paul's last words were, "Please allow me to enter the house of the Father." One has to wonder who or what met the Pope at his threshold of death and why his passage was impeded to the point of him having to ask permission to enter.

Answer 2

It doesn't say the present pope is the last but the next Peter the Roman.
It's not considered an authentic prophecy by the Church.
But somehow it has been proved to be quite accurate: the present pope is named Glory of the Olive: the Olivetans are the Benedictines founded by St. Benedict.and the present pope took the name Benedict.
Circumstances?
And the last pope will mean the end of time since Jesus promised Peter the first pope that the gates of hell would never prevail against the Church founded on the rock Peter.

My Aunt Tilly used to fall into Trances and come up with the Winners in all 10 Races at the Big "A" and Belmont every other weekend!

Then there was Sister Maria Giuseppe from The Convent of The Blessed Shroud who predicts along with "Hermana Rosa Pura De La Santisima Aparicion de la Virgen en Fatima" she said there will be yet another Pope and he will be into Jazz...

Answer 4

I once saw a book about this entitled "The Last Pope". I was under the impression though, that there would be one more. Interesting to speculate about. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Answer 5

I have read this and am watching but if it means the Last Pope then it means the end of this world.But you are wrong the next Pope is supposed to be the last.

Answer 6

What I study on your question is desperation to make some connection to a fraudulent prophecy from centuries in the past. there's no longer something new on the subject of the Pope being referred to as the "Bishop of Rome", on the grounds that's what he's. Peter is an rather user-friendly call. So are George, James and Edward. the undeniable fact that I actual have kin with those names does no longer recommend they have any connection with English kings For the previous 3 years I specifically stayed on the Astronomy & area pages the place I observed desperate tries with the help of believers to justify their concept in doom on 21 December 2012. The desperation got here from the undeniable fact that their deadly planet Nibiru / planet X grew to become into failing to take place. each minor disaster everywhere grew to become into interpreted as a "sign". each meteorite grew to become into meant to be slightly of those non-existent planets whilst it grew to become into observed to them that the Maya made no prophecy of doom, some got here lower back many times with claims that this or that historical civilisation had estimated it. many times the chinese language. those tries grew to become very almost hysterical at cases and included using distinctive debts to checklist solutions with the help of people who knew the info on the subject of the full fraud. 3 grownup consumers who actual knew what they have been writing approximately lost debts, 2 of them extra suitable than as quickly as. That taught me 2 issues. do no longer enable anybody get admission to on your record of questions or solutions and not in any respect have self assurance any prophecy.

Answer 7

I think it is supposed to be the next pope, who will take the name Peter.

Answer 8

Never heard of it.
