Lindsey is doing nothing more than using a centuries old prophecy that is so vague that it is easy to "identify" future Popes from it. The Catholic Church has never placed any real credence in it. Additionally, Lindsey has made the oft-repeated error of referring to the next Pope as the "second to last." The Popes are listed by number THROUGH number 111, THERE IS NO NUMBER 112, so even if this "prophecy" is valid, there can certainly be many others between number 111 and the final pope. Lindsey's bigotry is clear in his piece. He openly profers that the next Pope "will appear to be good, but lead his Church into the final predicted deception." He then implies that the final Pope will be the anti-Christ "will be able to mesmerize the world to follow his counterfeit of Christ."

Even Hal has said a true prophet, and I agree, is 100% accurate.... referring to the ancient Hebrew Prophets of the Bible in the Old Testament.
I take with a grain of salt St. Malachy's predictions, with no disrespect to the pope or catholic church intended.
