THE pope elected to succeed John Paul II will be assassinated and his death will spark a Muslim invasion of the west that will split the Catholic Church, according to an interpretation of Nostradamus's prophecies by a leading Colombian author.
"The next pope elected will be subsequently murdered in central Italy. Then comes pope number 112, who will flee Rome because of an attack by Muslims," Gonzalo Echeverri, a Colombian investigating judge and author of a book on Nostradamus said.
According to Echeverri, the pope will base himself in Avignon, France and another pontiff will take control in Italy, splitting the Catholic church in two.
"There is a very clear prophecy that says the holy father will move to another place, even warning that the French pope will not be able to stay in Avignon due to the Muslim invasion and will flee again to Lyon, where he will be attacked, according to Nostradamus," Mr Echeverri said.
Avignon was a base for popes for much of the 14th century, another time of grave divisions in the church and Europe.peNostradamus was a 16th century scholar who made prophecies.
His supporters say he predicted the French revolution, the rise of Hitler and the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
The most intriguing prophecy regarding the popes is St. Malachy's
According to St. Malachy, the Next pope will be Gloria Olivae.
This may mean:
A) A Benenedictine (Benedictines are known as The Olivians)
B) Converted Jew (Olive as a symbol for Jews) or Pope who will convert Jews
C) Someone from Spanish South America
This may be used as a cheatsheet for people wagering on the next Pope.
Or, who knows, perhaps Nigerian will be chosen to break the dark prophecy of the last Pope:
In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis ciuitas septicollis diruetur, Iudex trems iudicabit populum suum. Finis.
Transl: 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 his people. The End.)
