In a series of 112 cryptic Latin phrases the Irish saint Malachy predicts the Roman Catholic Popes he predicted there would be only one more Pope after Benedict and during his reign comes the end of the world so could Pope Francis be the last pope? now Saint Malachy's final prediction in full is: In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman who will feed his flock amid many tribulations after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful judge will judge the people. The End.
" Pope Francis who is born Jorge Mario Borgoglio chose his people name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi one theory that seeks to confirm the Irish Saint's final prophecy is that Saint Francis's father's name was Pietro or Peter in 1139 the then Bishop Malachy went to Rome from Ireland to give an account of his affairs while there he received a strange vision about the future that included the name of every Pope 112 in all from his time who would rule until the end of time are we now at the last prophecy? Saint Malachy gave an account of his visions to Pope Innocent II but the document remained unknown in the Roman archives until its discovery in 1590. now popes Saint Pius X also made a prophecy about the future Pope but one that involved great persecution: "I have seen one of my successors of the same name who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren he will take refuge in some hiding place but after a brief respite he will die a cruel death respect for God has disappeared from human hearts they wish to efface even God's memory this perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the last days of the world.
" Now Cardinal Francis Arinze was predicted to become Pope in a private revelation to a group of women who pray for priests this group is called the Brides of the Most Blessed Trinity one of them wrote his prophecy on June 1, 2003: "During this Holy Mass I had two visions the first I saw Cardinal Francis Arinze with the Pope's hat on his head the tall hat he was smiling the second vision I saw Mother Teresa of Calcutta she too was smiling later as we were having lunch I was telling the two priests of my two visions Father Jude began to smile I was very surprised to learn that he knew both Cardinal Arinze and Mother Teresa only those who were present were told this. " now much loved by all Cardinal Francis Arinze was even spoken of as among top candidates to replace Benedict as the head of the Roman Catholic Church in 2013 after Benedict's resignation but what if Arinze was to become Pope? isn't he way above the age limit?
Cardinal Arinze would be 91 this year only Cardinals under 80 years of age are permitted to vote in the papal conclave but however there is no age limit to be elected Pope would the Cardinals really choose a pope who was as old as Arinze? well the answer could be Yes after the long Pontificate of Pope John Paul II it is said that many Cardinals prefer older candidates for Pope so that his reign can be anticipated to be not too lengthy I mean Pope Benedict XVI was one of the oldest popes by his age at election he became Pope at the age of 78. he also became one of the oldest popes by his age at death but lets be honest here by the looks of things it seems as if this prophecy of Cardinal Francis Arinze becoming Pope may seem a bit too hard to get by and these are private Revelations and no Catholic is obligated to believe in them only time will tell so whoever is this Pope seen in the vision by Pope Pius X he will take the name of Pius the 13th the name "Pius" is often the choice of the more conservative and more doctrinal popes while the more pastoral popes takes names such as "John" or "Benedict" This Pope Pius XII will reign over the church at the start of the tribulation and he will die a martyr during the war that is the first event of the tribulation only time will tell but let's not put a focus on what's to come and place a focus on the present let us continue to pray for the Holy Father for he is in great need of our prayers may Our Lady cover him with the mantle of her protection and keep him safe from the evil that's trying to plague the Vatican in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
