What do you think about the Prophecies of Saint Malachy?

The Catholic Church has not declared the Prophecies of St. Malachi as divinely inspired.
Some modern scholars even think they are a forgery.

As a Pagan Clergy who has done many (15+) years of research on religion/spirituality, I found the Prophecies VERY interesting. If you ask me, and you did, I believe that we are indeed on our "last Pope". I LOVED Pope John II BTW. I fear that the Catholic church will indeed fall- though I don't believe it will lead to the "End Times" as many fear. I don't welcome this fall as it will harm many and hurt the faith of many more, but to everything there is a season. I only hope and pray that the Christian faith perseveres and is reincarnated (so to speak) into a new, more Christ-like version.
Blessings to you.
BTW: I thought that the fact that Pope John II was born/died at an eclipse says much- he was indeed a Light to the world.

i have been watching the unfolding of the malachite prophecy since the death of john xxiii. some of the matches have been impressive (including the one on john paul ii).
but the bottom line is: nobody has ever used the malachite prophecy to correctly identify who the next pope is going to be. (i remember reading an article which used malachy to prove cardinal ratzinger was not even a serious candidate).
a prophecy which does not foretell is a chocolate fireguard.

Prophecies in general are not useful. Generally you can only apply a prophecy after the event has occurred which is fairly useless.

despite the fact that i'm now no longer Christian, I grew up Catholic. The men in my kinfolk tended to placed on the scapular, at a similar time as the ladies tended to placed on the Medal of the stainless concept ("fabulous Medal"). i do no longer understand why for specific, as all and sundry could in simple terms placed on the two one in all them in a time of disaster. If I had to wager, i could say because of the fact one had a guy and the different had a woman.

I read about them, but don't remember a lot of specifics. Is he the one that said the final Anti-Christ would be a false pope? I do recall thinking it was very interesting information.

There are the two final spaces in St Paul's Basilica for the next two popes and then thats it...As the legend goes... I guess we will find out possibiliy in our lifetime.
No one knows the hour right?

Not familiar with them...let me go take a peek...okay I took a very brief look; i don't generally buy into prphetic predictions unless they are very specific, the vagueness of them can be used to apply them as people see fit later...like nostrodamus's they are so willy nilly you can look every 20 years and go look see it's happening...yada yada yada

Not much
They have nothing to do with St Malachy
They are not approved by the Church
and are renaissance "pseudopigrapha"
