We’re down to the last or next to the last Pope in St. Malachy’s prophecies. With the world in the shape it is, things aren’t looking good.

Thanks to NYer for posting this. Most “end times” articles come from evangelicals (who i greatly respect for their faith. unlike people like “Father” Pfleger).

I do believe, that Benedict is the last true Pope.
as Cardinal, he himself has spoken of the corruption in the Church that St Frances predicts. (and #7 is chilling!)

And other things in the Bible itself, like the remaking of Israel (after 1800 years! ...but it says the true miracle, is that it will occur in a single day. which it did.)
...the false Prophet (and false teachers) that Jesus himself warned about, and that another religion would become the largest in the world (which the Pope quietly announced last year), etc.

This, St Francis, bgill’s reminder about St. Malachy, and Fatima, reminds us that Catholics too understand Matthew 24, and while no man may know the hour, we are certainly told we WILL know the season, so we can prepare.

i only disagree about “...looking good.”
yes, it will be terrible. but, also it is joyous to know,
that possibly within our lifetimes, we will see prophecy fulfilled, and the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Nothing in Saint Malachy’s prophecies suggest that the last pope he lists will be the last pope. “Peter the Roman” was added by a later hand to St. Malachy’s, and even if it were legitimate, there’s nothing to suggest that “Peter the Roman” immediately follows “The Glory of the Olive.”
