It is interesting that the RC . . . who was it . . . Malachi Martin? saw one more Pope after this one—and that THAT Pope would be evil??? But that was an RC seer. He supposedly did get a long string of things right about a long string of Popes.

You're confusing the "prophecies" allegedly attributed to St. Malachy, an Irish bishop who died in 1148, with Malachi Martin, a rather eccentric Jesuit priest and author who died about 5 years ago.

Malachi Martin was not much of a "seer" (nor did he claim to be one). In fact, he wrote a (fictional) book a few years before the election of John Paul II which basically predicted that the next pope would be a communist.

Reality didn't quite work out that way.

You’re right. I was confusing the two. I don’t even try to keep up on all that stuff and it’s not significant enough to me to carry around in my active memory.

Glad you caught that. Shows you where Quix gets his information (Father Malachi Martin was a frequent guest on the old Art Bell show). Fits right in with the ET obsession, doesn't it. LOL
