“One thing we may be certain of is that Benedict XVI is the next to the last Pope in St. Malachy’s Prophecy of the Popes.”

Whoever thinks that is a moron.

[LukeL]

So ou think the entire list is a fraud?

[DManA]

What is the National Catholic Reporter? Reputable? Or not.

[Salvation]

What in the world is this author writing?

Popes do not resign.

Vying factions???

LOL!

The latter part of the list seems to be a fraud but sometimes even hoaxes can have some truth to them, if even by accident.

[Cicero]

regretably, the National Catholic Reporter is stuffed full of dissident liberals. It went off the rails many years ago.

There are some loose wheels in the Vatican, as in any other human organization or government. But they do pretty well, all things considered. The Catholic Church has something like three times as many members as the U.S. has citizens. But how does the Vatican compare in size and expense to the U.S. government? Of course complaints sometimes get lost or take time to settle.

St. Malachy's prophecy, misread?
Saint Malachy, Prophecies about 112 popes until the end of the world, the last five Popes
A POPE DESCRIBED AS 'FROM THE SUN' WAS BORN DURING ECLIPSE AND LEAVES WITH ONE
RATZINGER APPEARS TO FULFILL MALACHY PROPHECY [De Gloria Olivae]
Malachy's Prophecies - The Last 10 Popes
Prophecy of St Malachy (with list of Popes)

[DManA]

Yea but the death rate amongst 85 year old guys is pretty steep (may he live long in good health).

There’s no evidence its genuine.

As with JPII the lefties are trying to conjure the Pope into dying. An hour from now would not be soon enough. They cannot understand that G_d is not going to permit the Church to disintegrate into another modernist NGO. That is because the lefty Catholics do not really believe there is any G_d at all, at least not one that is not obedient to their ơwn demands for what G_d should be.

[arthurus]

NCR is a Leftist outfit that uses the Church as a cover and vehicle for their belief that they can fashion an earthly Utopia if only that damnable Magisterium and that holdover reactionary pope can just be pushed aside.

[Cincinna]

This kook conspiracy stuff is ridiculous.... just an abettor in Obama’s war against the church.
Does all your info and sources come from the Da Vinci Code?
300,000 Roman Catholic Cubans packed into “Revolution” Square in Havana to hear Pope Benedict speak.

[Theoria]

Of course they have.

[RinaseaofDs]

“There’s no evidence its genuine.”

There’s no evidence its fake.

[arthurus]

[Salvation]

Only in the ancient past.

I think the Church looks on Popes these days as serving until they die.

[vladimir998]

Actually there is some evidence.

There is, for instance, no trace of it historically from the time it supposedly was written until it showed up centuries later.
