I don't have time to look up the links now but the early papal prophecies in the series are thought to be authentic, written either by St. Malachy or sincerely on his behalf. But the later prophecies, written in a very different style, are forgeries added along the way, many about popes who were already deceased.
Really?
Admittedly, I am a prepper and I have an interest in events that would change our way of life "as we know it" but I hardly dwell on "end times" scenarios. There's not a lot of preparation for that. I've really never done much reading about the Mayan calendar thing or the prophecy of the Popes as I only put my faith in the Bible so criticize them all you want. I take no stock in them.
What makes you think I would ignore criticism? I might just join you in your criticism of these extra-Biblical prophecy. I just find them curious but not really important enough to spend much time researching the validity of. I think you are a little quick to categorize me.
