For the prophecy hounds ... Malachy's propecies. According to one interpretation we're down to the last 2 Popes before the End of Days. http://www.newagedirectory.com/pro/malachy.htm ST. MALACHY the last popes and the end times. St. Malachy, (d. 1148) Irish Bishop and Seer, produced an accurate list of future popes which began with Pope Celestine II in the year 1143. His list consists of a single line which gives a clue to the characteristics of each pope. From this list of 112 popes there are to be just 2 more after Pope John Paul II who passed away on 2 April 2005. His predictions regarding the popes have been for the most part pretty accurate regarding the identifying characteristics that each line reveals. St. Malachy doesn't give any predictions or information about what happens after the last pope. According to some other seers, we will have arrived at the end times. Here are the previous five popes from Malachy's list. 106. Pius XII 1939 - 1958 Eugenio Pacelli Pastor Angelicus (An angelic shepherd) 107. John XXIII 1958 - 1963 Angelo Gueseppe Roncalli Pastor Et Natua (Pastor and mariner) 108. Paul VI 1963 - 1978 Giovanni Battista Montini Flos Florum (Flower of flowers) 109. John Paul I 1978 - 1978 De Medietate Lunae (Of the half moon) Note: This pope who was unpopular with the curia, lasted only 34 days (which is about one moon cycle) and died suddenly of unknown causes. His body was cremated within one day without an autopsy. This was and still is controversial, since popes are usually buried within the walls of the Vatican and are never cremated. The suddenness of this action has led to much speculation about a political conspiracy. There are 3 quatrains found in Nostradamus Prophecies that fit the circumstances surrounding the death of this pope 110. John Paul II 1978 - Died April 2, 2005 Karol Josef Wojtlya De Labore Solis (From the toil of the sun) This pope has been identified with unceasing hard work, having visited practically every country in the world. He has traveled in access of 3/4 million miles in promoting the faith. He was the first non-Italian pope in 450 years. John Paul II is responsible with bringing an end to the communist regime in Poland. This initiated a domino effect within other eastern European communist controlled nations which quickly followed shortly after. No longer able to sustain itself, the Soviet Union fell away from the negative and inefficient economic structure of Communism and we have what is now Russia, the Ukraine and other nations that are independent and mostly free. In the future 111. The next pope (To be chosen during April 2005) (The glory of the olive) 112. The LAST POPE! (Peter the Roman) "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." A better resource, mentions that there may be add'l Popes between the next one and the LAST one. http://www.catholic-pages.com/grabbag/malachy.asp
