Pope Benedict dies: Are We Reaching the End of Time?

In 1595, a Benedictine monk named Arnold de Wyon published  Lignum Vitae – in which he claimed to have “discovered The Prophecy of the Popes,” which were originally written by St. Malachy, the Archbishop of Armagh in 1143. In 1871, Abbé Cucherat, in his book The Prophecies of the Succession of the Popes , tells us that in 1139 Malachy was “summoned to Rome Pope Innocent II to receive two wool palliums for the metropolitan sees of Armagh and Cashel.”

While in Rome, Malachy is said to have experienced a “vision of future popes,” which he recorded as a sequence of cryptic phrases describing their personality traits. St. Malachy allegedly gave his manuscript to Innocent II and the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590.

Examining the Papal Prophecy

The first pope listed after St. Peter was Ex caſtro Tiberis, who is noted as having lived in a “castle on the Tiber.” Regarding the final Pope, de Wyon claimed that Malachy wrote an apocalyptic statement which translates from Latin as:

“In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit. [sic] Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.”

When the text was discovered in 1595 it caused great intrigue and carried an air of legitimacy because so many of Malachy’s descriptions matched those of previous Popes. To many, the resignation of Benedict XVI in 2013 or the day he died 31/12/2022 indicated the beginning of the End of Days – also as prophesied.

However, not a shred of tangible evidence exists to associate Malachy with the prophecy, and the “original document” that de Wyon claimed to have “found” in the Vatican Secret Archives has never been seen by anyone else, ever. Soon after its discovery, many Catholic scholars deemed it as a contemporary forgery, however many others have continued to believe in the document’s authenticity.

Skeptics argue that historically when people had prophetic visions they told a lot of people, but Malachy apparently didn’t mention his vision to a soul, nor did his biographer, St. Bernard of Clairvaux; who documented several of Malachy’s other alleged miracles. And, depending on how you interpret the prophecy, Benedict XVI is not the 111th pope! Ten antipopes are listed among the “112 Popes” – so it is argued that Benedict XVI was the 101st pope.

The Papal Prophecy – Real or Forgery?

Among the historians who maintained that the prophecies were a late 16th‑century forgery, Spanish monk and scholar Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro wrote Teatro Crítico Universal  between 1724–1739. In an entry entitled ‘Purported prophecies’ he observed a “high level of accuracy in the descriptions of the popes until the date they were published” … then, a “high level of inaccuracy after the publication date.” Friar Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro was a Spanish monk and scholar who led the Age of Enlightenment in Spain and debunked myths and superstitions. This observation convinced him the prophecy was “created just before its publication.”

Having established that the prophecy was most probably a hoax, why were the prophecies created in the first place? A theory was forward by a 17th-century French priest Louis Moréri in his encyclopedia Le Grand Dictionnaire historique which suggested “supporters of Cardinal Girolamo Simoncelli created them in a bid to support his bid to become pope in the 1590s.” His evidence was in that the prophecies predicted the pope that would follow Urban VII was “Ex antiquitate Urbis” (“from the old city”), and Simoncelli was from Orvieto, which in Latin is Urbevetanum “old city” (Miller, 1981).

Writing extensively about the prophecy being a forgery, M. J. O’Brien, a Catholic priest who authored an 1880 monograph on the prophecies said: “These prophecies have served no purpose. They are absolutely meaningless. The Latin is bad. It is impossible to attribute such absurd triflings … to any holy source. Those who have written in defence of the prophecy have brought forward scarcely an argument in their favour. Their attempts at explaining the prophecies after 1590 are, I say with all respect, the sorriest trifling” (O’Brien, 1880).

What Does the Popes Prophecy Say of Today and Tomorrow?

If the list of descriptions is matched directly to a list of historic popes since its publication, Benedict XVI (2005–13) corresponds to the second last noted pope, described as “Gloria olivae” (the glory of the olive). 

And the final prophecy predicts the Apocalypse: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman [as bishop], who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations (COVID-19, War in Ukraine, coming war between Israel and Iran) and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”

Second Fatima Secret

Second Fatima Secret

Fatima is undoubtedly the most prophetic of modern apparitions. The first and second parts of the “secret”—which are here published in sequence so as to complete the documentation—refer especially to the frightening vision of hell, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Second World War, and finally the prediction of the immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communist totalitarianism.

In 1917 no one could have imagined all this: the three pastorinhos of Fatima see, listen and remember, and Lucia, the surviving witness, commits it all to paper when ordered to do so by the Bishop of Leiria and with Our Lady’s permission.

For the account of the first two parts of the “secret”, which have already been published and are therefore known, we have chosen the text written by Sister Lucia in the Third Memoir of 31 August 1941; some annotations were added in the Fourth Memoir of 8 December 1941.

SECOND FATIMA SECRET

We then looked up at Our Lady, who said to us so kindly and so sadly: 

“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world”. Read the full article here. (Original copy of the text)

Popes Prophecy of St-Malachy

The Popes Prophecy of St-Malachy

The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, is a list of 112 short phrases in Latin. They purport to describe each of the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few anti-popes), beginning with Pope Celestine II (elected in 1143) and concluding with a pope described in the prophecy as “Peter the Roman”, whose pontificate will end in the destruction of the city of Rome.

The Last 3 Popes in the Prophecy

  • Name : Karol Wojtyla (Poland)
  • Regnal Name : John Paul II
  • Pope Year : 1978-2005
  • Pope Nr : 264
  • Moto : From a solar eclipse – De labore solis
  • Historical Reference & Explanation : The prophetic motto corresponding to Pope John Paul II is “De labore solis”, which literally means “Of the labor (work/giving birth) of the sun”; but “labor solis” is a common Latin expression that means a solar eclipse. Karol Jozef Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II, was born on 18 May 1920, the day of a partial solar eclipse over the Indian Ocean, and buried on 8 April 2005, the day of a rare hybrid eclipse over the south-western Pacific and South America. John Paul II introduced the Luminous Mysteries to the Rosary. During his pontificate, John Paul II traveled extensively all around the world, more than any other pope before, and similarly to what the sun does daily, from an earth-centric point of view.
  • Name : Joseph Ratzinger (Germany)
  • Regnal Name : Benedict XVI
  • Pope Year : 2005-2013
  • Pope Nr : 265
  • Moto : Glory of the olive – Gloria oliuæ – Gloria olivae
  • Historical Reference & Explanation : Gloria olivae or glory of the olive, is the last short phrase on the list. Prior to the papal conclave, this motto led to speculation that the next pontiff would be from the Order of Saint Benedict, whose symbols include the olive branch. Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, elected in April 2005, is not a Benedictine, but did choose Benedict XVI as his regnal name, partially named after Benedictine founder Benedict of Nursia, which might be regarded as a fulfillment of this prophecy. The Olivet Discourse in the Gospel of Matthew argued that the events described therein will come to completion during the reign of this Pope. These people argue that the Tribulation will begin during the reign of Benedict XVI.
  • Name : Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Argentina)
  • Regnal Name : Francis
  • Pope Year : 2013-(?)
  • Pope Nr : 266 —> The last pope according the prophecy !!!
  • Moto :
  • Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End
  • Name : Peter The Roman
  • Regnal Name : Francis I
  • Pope Year : ?
  • Pope Nr : None (There is no number 267 in the Prophecy) (Prophecy : Last Pope)
  • Moto : None (Prophesied to take the Vatican as an Antipope & Antichrist) OR lead us when the AntiChrist comes to power during tribulations/revelations.
  • Historical Reference & Explanation : Benedict XVI is not the Last Pope in the Prophecy of St-Malachy. Petrus Romanus (the last pope) would take over the seat of the Vatican in Rome the Prediction quoted “The End” and here the speculation can begin …

During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations (The tribulations and prophesied endtime apocalyptic events are still to come according this prophecy) : And when these things are finished, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed (This city is Rome or Jerusulem according different predictions and speculations), and the formidable Judge will judge his people (This is the returned christ, the God of us people, all of the people, including christians muslims buddhist, etc…).   The End.

In Original Latin

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit. Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, et Iudex tremendus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.

Possible People who can become “the killer” of Peter The Roman and the chirch.

Vladimir Putin

No one talks about another “Pope”, so the Antichrist himself could be Peter the Roman.

The WorldWide Elite

Anti Pope

One of the Cardinals of today could be Peter the Roman, this false prophet could help the Antichrist by telling all of the christians to believe that he (Antichrist) is the returned christ like the Bible prophesied.

It could be that this coming “Pope” (Peter the Roman) takes the name Peter II (AntiPope and helper of Satan), or it would be no surprise to me that he takes the name Pius XIII ! Or Petrus Romanus IS the last real pope and will be killed during tribulations … (Third Secrets of Fatima).

Cardinal Francis Arinze Prophecy

The Prediction/Prophecy of Ronald L. Conte Jr states : Cardinal Francis will become the Last Pope and will take the name of Pius XIII after the death of Pope Benedict XVI. (The popes name is NOT Pius XIII BUT Francis is correct) And the description “Peter the Roman” means that the “Pope will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church, this authority is based on his place as a Successor of Peter and will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world, and also will be the last Pope for about a generation (until the 2040’s) to rule from Rome. In Conte’s opinion, St. Malachy’s list ends with Petrus Romanus because his reign will coincide with the beginning of the first part of the Tribulation.
