Pope No. 110 – John Paul II (1978-2005). The prophecy for the 110th Pope was “De Labore Solis”, which means ‘from the labor of the sun.’ John Paul II was born during an eclipse of the sun on May 8, 1920. As the sun rises out of the East, so he came to the Vatican from the east. Wherever on the earth the sun shines, he visited.

Hal is as "good" with the facts as usual, I see. If he had bothered to verify what he writes or pastes, he would have at least noticed the error in the date. Since I've seen this May 8th date in several articles, I suspect that it was originally a typo, and subsequent authors failed to correct it. The eclipse occurred on May 18th, 1920.

Mt. St. Helen's blew its top on JPII's 60th birthday.

There was a solar eclipse, partial in the US, the day he was buried.

Hal's 'prophesies' related to the former Soviet union in "The LAte Great Planet Earth" seem to have missed the mark. No reason to think this is any better.

May 18, 1920 was the Pope's birthday, he was indeed born on the day of an eclipse, typographical error in the article notwithstanding.

Not that I completely buy "prophecy" of this nature..
