The Prophecies of St. Malachy

What about Y2K ?

Well duh, even if the cardinals believed this hokus-pokum, it would be a simple matter to forestall the end of the world. Just don't elect as Pope any Italian named Peter(or Richard, for that matter). And for good measure stay away from any candidate connected with Rome, GA, Rhome, TX or The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone.

But then again, St. Malarchy may have hit it right. Say they do pick a Peter from Rome(BTW, I think that will be my new handle when calling in to talk shows), the panicked Italians may rise up and overthrow the Vatican.

[Diddle E. Squat]

BTTT.

Is that possible? I never figured out if bumping to the top is actual or symbolic, or simple a flagging mechanism for later self-search.

I think I may have shared in the Prophecies of St. Malachy, Requiescat in Pace:

On an early summer evening in Rome in the year 1140, whilst in the
company of a band of Irish monks, he had a series of startling visions.

You see, my brothers, I myself have the drink taken in the Holy City of St.Peter, in the very same prayerful company as that good and holy Saint himself, although at a somewhat later date. I also experienced strange, mystic visions until well into the next morning. Pope, or no Pope; my head felt as if it were truly the end of the world.

Alas, my strange glimpses into the future were of the athletic variety, not the cosmically religious. I saw, clear as the day, the Washington Redskins triumph in the Super Bowl. I confess, I took money intended for Peter's Pence and backed them to the hilt, complete with an accurate spread. Riggin's running won me enough to purchase a splendid (used) motor car.

And that's no Malarchy. Amen.

A good time to revisit this thread?

[Revolting cat!]

I thought it was Al Gore who predicted the names of all the Popes?

[Revolting cat!]

There it is a digital photo of the saint predicting this very thread!

As far as Nostradamus goes, you are right. Very vauge quatrains that can be applied to many situations. Did you ever watch SCTV? They had a skit once 'The Life of Nostradamus, Mr. Know It All.' He got everybody mad at him because he 'knew you would say that!' etc. VERY funny!

St Malachi is real, but again, the list of popes names is really a list of slogans, and with a little imagination, culbe be applied to a wide variety of fulfillments.

I am sure someone with some imagination (and a lot of time on their hands) could take any 43 names in a row and apply them somehow to the US presidents, or even their own extended family tree.

I do belive in prophecy though - I just don't think stuff like this is very prophetic, and more of a challenge to future generations to use their imaginations.

here ya go

Petrus Romanus - yep, it goes full circle. I think there has been only one Pope Peter, the first one, and out of respect for that, no other pope has chosen the name Peter.

If the pope after the next one selects 'Peter' then there may be circumstantial evidence to start sweatin! ;)

End of Times will star top Hollywood actor Martin Sheen as a renegade monk who tries to head off disaster by blocking the election of a world leader.

Now why did they have to go and ruin something that was sounding so intresting??

[bwteim]

Is that a real photo of St.M, or do you have a larger-screen "plasma high definition picture" version of that digital photo??

Good thoughts. Personally, I am a practicing Catholic and have never been interested in when the end times are coming (though I did say that God squeezing in a Mets-Yankees world series in 2000 was a sure sign that the end was nigh).

Let her rip, I say! I won't say I would be fearless, but I won't get faithless. With faith, and a good six shooter, what more does a man need but an ample bosom to rest his weary head upon? ;-)

God's will be done, I think I heard that somewhere.

Thanks for the link! We're (speaking for m'self) rank amateurs here, ain't we?

Thanks for the link! We're (speaking for m'self) rank amateurs here, ain't we?

You're welcome. Yep, we sure is rank (speaking for m'self) and amateurish!

[diamond6]

OH NO.........NOT MARTIN SHEEN. I THINK I AM GOING TO BE SICK.

[Allegra]

(though I did say that God squeezing in a Mets-Yankees world series in 2000 was a sure sign that the end was nigh).

I recently said the same thing about a potential Cubs-Red Sox Series. I thought it may portend something apocolyptic.

Looks like we dodged the bullet...

this time. :)

[Allegra]

Oh...and spelling "apocalyptic" correctly might help delay the end too

Drained brain...

[Truth666]

Thanks for the ping. No doubt this prediction is a strong sign of God. But God will never give the message in exact terms - so I know it's these days but I don't know which. It could be tomorrow. It could even be today.
BTW, Have your say : Is the papacy of John Paul II part of the apocalypse ?

[Truth666]

The fact that they pulled the fil out doesn't mean that for sure the world would end soon after the reign of Pope John Paul II.
it's actually the other way round. And no I don't mean LONG after ...
