Fr. Wion’s pg. 311 of “LIGNUM VITAE” reads (in part):
De labore solis.
Gloria olivae.
In psecutione.extre_
ma S.R.E. sedebit.
Petrus Romanus, qui
.... ....
... ...
puplum suum. Finis.
I agree that each paragraph constitutes a separate pope prophecy. “Sedebit” more properly translates as “He will sit.” So number 112 should read in English: “He will sit in the final persecution. of the Holy Roman Church.”
The “Petrus Romanus” paragraph is number 113 and refers to the Pontiff that will follow Pope Francis. This paragraph includes the word “Finis.”
In his “FLORILEGIUM INSULAE SANCTORUM” (1624) Thomas Messingham altered Fr. Wion’s text by combining paragraphs 112 and 113 into one. Every authority since has followed Messingham’s lead. Here’s what he printed:
In perfecutione extre-
ma S.R.E. fedebit Petrus
Romanus qui pafcet oves
....
....
... & iu-
dex tremed’ iudicabit po-
pulum fuum. FINIS.
This “editing” has led to the present confused speculation that Pope Francis is “Peter the Roman.”
It took me a few passes to get what you were saying, so I’ll make it easier for others like me.
Each of these represents a separate pope:
“De Labore Solis” (Labor of the Sun)
“Gloria olivae” (Glory of the olives)
“In persecutione extrema SRE sedebit” (In extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, he sits)
“Petrus Romanus, qui...” (Peter Romanus, who..)
Given the indentations of Armond Wion, I’d have to say you’re exactly correct. What’s more, I never could foresee the worst persecution (”extrema persecutione”) being imminent, but “extrema,” in Latin, is better translated as “final,” rather than “extreme.” Given the worldwide nature of the sudden persecution of the Church, it is actually plausible that a prophecy might refer to this as “S.R.E. persecutione extrema”
