I have two questions:

1. The final passage in the prophecy contained two sentence (see below): were these referring to one pope or two popes?

a. In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit.

b. Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus, quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & judex tremendus judicabit populum suum. Finis.

2. Did the Fatima Prophecy contain any insight into the St Malachy prophecy?

There are about 500 silly Roman Cathlic posts a day here now. It is rediculous.

The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." ... Matthew 24: 36

But clearly the evidence presented above should rule out any sort of automatic dismissal of the prophecies.

It's still an automatic dismissal from me. And that goes for Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce too.

Did you mean: ridiculous?

Are all the protestant and LDS posts also rediculous or is it just the Catholic posts that are rediculous?

I ignore anything that doesn't have Church approval or a clear proof of its origin from a Venerable, Blessed or Canonized Saint. There's more than enough Catholic prophecy from credible sources than one need not worry about the supposed St. Malachi prophecies. Nonetheless, I found this blog post interesting.

Yes, it is indeed interesting. I read about ufos and ancient aliens too, because it's interesting, and fun to think, what if, but I don't buy into those either.

If this paragraph details the best of the predictions::

The case of Pius IX is particularly striking; Cross from a Cross. In losing the papal states and facing the atheist risorgimento, he suffered greater crosses than any other pope of the modern period. Furthermore, as these sufferings were brought about by the attempts of the House of Savoy to unify Italy, and as the emblem of the House of Savoy was a large white cross emblazoned on a red shield…
then it truly is weak. "Cross" could apply to any pope you wished, and there's plenty of ways to make eagle work.

And Peter the Roman? The next pope will be bishop of Rome in the seat of Peter. Bingo.

Back filling vague phrases is not prophecy. This looks to me like Nostradamus-like stuff.

However, now that we are up to the point where the pontificate of Peter the Roman could begin as soon as a few days from now, the attitude has changed to one of outright hostility and ridicule by people who are horrified any time any Catholic starts thinking seriously about eschatological fulfillments, as if the worst possible thing a Catholic could do would be to think we could be on the verge of a divine chastisement. But like it or hate it, the Malachy prophecies have a very long pedigree in the western Church, and we should not be so quick to mock them or speak derisively about them...
Thank you for your article, Brian. It clears up an issue or three. And any Catholic/Christian who doesn't believe we are ripe for divine chastisement, must be living with some pretty intense blinders on... regardless of Malachy's prophecies.

A question occurs to me: What happens if/when, we have a pope after this one and Rome is still standing? Does the prophecy finally die, or will it be re-born with a new calculation after finding an error...?

They mostly have to do with the destruction of He-Man and ruling planet Eternia.

“Codex Sinaiticus, both of which were lost for longer, almost two thousand years each”

Hrm? This is a significant error. Sinaiticus was found in the latter half of the 19th century and dates to the mid third.

350 - 1850 is about 1500 years, not 2000.

Thank you for posting this.

It is a very well-written article with information that I had not previously seen.

I agree with his conclusion.
