I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I've been wondering this for quite some time. I remember reading online the predictions of St. Malachy, regarding popes. I didn't believe it until I read that the newly elected pope would be "The Glory of the Olive", which I think signifies the Benedictine Order. The new pope called himself Benedict and I was creeped out.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at this link:

My question: Regardless of whether or not the Malachy prophecies are accurate or not, do you think the church knows this kind of stuff and sort of helps it along? Like everything that happens as it's predicted...the church knows it's supposed to happen and therefore MAKES it happen. Like they want the end to come just as it's supposed to and quickly? I don't even know if that makes any sense. I'm not even sure if it would be considered a conspiracy but just wondering what everybvody else thought.

I have read about the predictions. Maybe in some cases the "corrupt church" may help things along. But there is nothing that we can do to bring the end here, as Jesus even told His disciples, that it was for the Father only to know the time.

The manipulations of man can not alter the time line that god has set.
