Isn’t it theorized from Nostradamus to Edgar Cayce that the world will end after the pope is somehow removed from power?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a subscriber to the prophecies of either, it just came to mind.
Somehow, I don't picture The Pope sitting at a keyboard blogging.
That could only mean?

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.

Prophecy of St. Nilus concerning 20th Century
Catholic Encyclopedia - St Nilus (d. circa 430 AD)
Many, many years ago... St. Nilus
After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people’s minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable. People’s appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left. At that time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society. At that future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness, people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism and equally of remorse. The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will completely lose their faith because they will lack the opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. Then they will separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of lightening their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet obstacles and constraints. And all this will result from the fact that the Antichrist wants to be Lord over everything and become the ruler of the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will discover a way by which one man can carry on a conversation with another from one end of the earth to the other. At that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist. And, the impious one! — he will so complete science with vanity that it will go off the right path and lead people to lose faith in the existence of God in three hypostases. Then the All-good God will see the downfall of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill the perverter and his servants.
Pretty amazing the prediction considering when it was made.
I think some RC Bishop or some such made some predictions about a long string of Popes and this is supposed to be the 2nd to the last one with the next one supposed to be evil etc.
However, as the quotes of USA and other leaders ref’d in my tagline affirm . . . even the Pope back at the time of that quote—I forget which one—was supporting a world government—which the Bible is clear about being satanic, evil to the max.
Thanks Perdogg. You may be thinking of the prophecies of St Malachy? I don’t plan to come back to this thread, which is probably already a sectarian bloodbath (didn’t look past message 1) but “his lifting of the 20-year excommunication of a British bishop who has questioned the Holocaust” wasn’t too bright without contrition by the denier.

I’ve heard that, too. And St Malachy had some papal predictions, as well. The media has been working overtime to paint Catholics and all Christians in the worst light possible, especially the last several years. And it seems there’s a few leftie Catholics in the Vatican who would like to see a different Pope running the show. Pope Benedict surely needs our prayers, he’s besieged inside the Vatican and out.
