Saint's Prophecy: Only Two Popes Remain

Saint's Prophecy: Only Two Popes Remain

When the cardinals of the world pick John Paul II's successor, they may well be choosing the next-to-last pope.



The pope who then follows this choice in the Chair of St. Peter will be the last pope, and after his reign Rome will be destroyed.

Such has been the prophecy of St. Malachy, an Irish bishop who at his death in 1148 A.D. was discovered to have left behind a prophetic list of all future popes beginning with Pope Celestine II, whose papacy began in 1143 A.D.


Malachy included a single line in Latin identifying a characteristic of each pope.


Historians say Malachy's prediction â?? wherein he listed just 112 popes â?? has been amazingly accurate.


According to his list, there are just two more popes after the late John Paul II.

Here are the seven last popes as identified from St. Malachy's list:

106. Pius XII 1939 - 1958
Eugenio Pacelli
Pastor Angelicus
Translated: An Angelic Shepherd

107. John XXIII 1968 - 1963
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli
Pastor Et Natua
Translated: Pastor and Mariner

108. Paul VI 1963 - 1978
Giovanni Battista Montini
Flos Florum
Translated: Flower of Flowers


109. John Paul I 1978 - 1978
Albino Luciani
De Medietate Lunae
Translated: Of the Half Moon


110. John Paul II 1978 - 2005
Karol Jozef Wojtyla
De Labore Solis
Translated: From the Toil of the Sun

111. The next pope
"Gloria Olivae"
Translated: The Glory of the Olive


112. The last pope!
"Petrus Romanus"
Translated: Peter the Roman


Wrote St. Malachy of the last pope: "In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge the people. The End."

According to his biographer St. Bernard of Clairvaux, in his book "Life of Saint Malachy," the saint was known to have the gift of prophesy and had even predicted the exact day and hour of his own death. Saint Malachy was canonized in 1190 by Pope Clement III.


While in Rome in 1139, Saint Malachy is said to have gone into a trance and received a vision in which he foresaw all the popes from the death of Innocent II until the end of time.

Afterward he wrote a few words about each pope and gave the manuscript to Pope Innocent II, who is said to have deposited it in Vatican Archives, where it lay forgotten until it was discovered in 1590 and published. At the time, some questioned its authenticity and it has been the subject of debate ever since.

The manuscript contains 112 prophecies, which scholars have matched with each of the 110 popes and anti-popes since Innocent II .

Here are the prophecies for the most recent popes:


Paul VI. The words of the 108th prophecy are "Flos Florum" (Flower of Flowers). The 108th pope after Innocent II was Paul VI (1963-78). His coat of arms included three fleurs-de-lis (iris blossoms).

John Paul I. The 109th is "De Medietate Lunae" (Of the Half Moon). The corresponding pope was John Paul I (1978-78), who was born in the diocese of Belluno (beautiful moon) and was baptized Albino Luciani (white light). He became pope on August 26, 1978, when the moon appeared exactly half full. It was in its waning phase. He died the following month, soon after an eclipse of the moon.

John Paul II. The 110th is "De Labore Solis" (Of the Solar Eclipse, or From the Toil of the Sun). The corresponding pope was John Paul II (1978-2005). John Paul II was born on May 8, 1920 during an eclipse of the sun. Like the sun, he came out of the East (Poland). Like the sun, he visited countries all around the globe.
Today the final two prophecies are yet to be fulfilled:

The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict â?? not St. Malachy â?? has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil.

The 112th prophecy says, "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

not that i believe it, but i read it and just got a creepy feeling, maybe cause i was stoned at the time.

Too vague for me, for instance the (olive) prediction could be say "someone named olive, someone who works with olives, farms them in an orchard setting, has a family history of farming them or perhaps even someone who just happens to like olives alot".

Sort of like that John Edwards guy and cold reading.

or christopher reed walking again.

I actually have read all about St. Malachy's prophecies on numerous different sites. All I have to say is that if the next Pope is from the Order of St. Benedict im going to prepare for armegeddon. I also read somewhere about how the next pope might be the Pope in charge when the Anti-Christ comes into the world scene. Very interesting.

You've got to be shitting me...

well guess who the new pope is?? they chose one and he calls himself st. benedict. oh man we are so fucked...

he called himself Benedict, but there have been 15 other benedicts before him.

yea but think of the ratio of beedicts to non benedicts... this is just an odd coincidence i think.... not saying it really is the end but man... this is weird shit.

yeah, but the prophesy had nothing to do with the name of the pope. The prophesy said that he would be from the bendictine order of monks, which I thyink is not the case anyway. You can sleep soundly at night :D

you're probably right. or maybe this guys was familiar with the prophecies and wants tomess with us.. haha

Coincidence?

i think not;)

That's really good :D

Im serious. the man looks evil.

god damn,, when i saw those 2 pics i almost cried,, hahahaha,, that shits creepy when ur hi?

the guy is 78-right? the last one was only 60 i think-he prbably wont be around that long-plus i think he`ll just piss most catholics off if hes too reactionary. hes just really a figurehead anyway- right?

NO, not at all. The pope isn't simply a figure-head. That's the reason they choose them so old. Being old, they (normally) don't have time to build a personal following, and when they die, it's not too late to change some crazy laws the previous pope passed in case he was a little crazy... :D

But the pope really does hold the supreme authority of the Church, he ain't no figure head.
