Is
Pope Benedict the Last Pope?
The prophecy of St Malachy was
first published in 1595 by a
Benedictine historian, Arnold de
Wyon, in his book, Lignum Vittie.
However, it’s significant that
Bernard of Clair-vaux wrote a
biography of the Bishop, but
makes no mention of the
prophecy. Since Bernard wrote
this work in the 12th century,
logically it suggests that no
prophecy existed then. Is
pope benedict the last pope?
At
www.theantichristidentity.com
we are offering one of the most
controversial reports to address
the relevance of this to the
coming one world government and
new world order.
Nevertheless, as John Hogue
points out (Hogue has also
written a book on the St.
Malachy prophecy), it makes no
difference whether St. Malachy
or Nostradamus set forth the
predictions; the prophecies are
valid if history proves them
true. 112 popes were predicted.
So far, 111 predictions out of
111 appear to be correct. Only
the final pope, number 112, who
the prophecy identifies as Peter
the Roman, remains to be
verified.
So is pope benedict the last
pope? According to the
prophecy, the final five popes
are: the “flower of flowers” (Flos
Florum, Paul VI); “the
midst of the moon” (De medietate
lunae, John Paul I); “from a
solar eclipse” (De labore solis,
John Paul II); “glory of
the olive” (Gloria olivae,
Benedict XVI); and “Peter the
Roman” (Petrus Romanus, yet to
be deter-mined). We must look
into the names and the
rationales for why these names
historically match the prophetic
titles.
John Paul I (De medietate
lund; — the midst of the moon or
from the half moon):
• He reigned for 33 days,
died before the new moon, and
was born on the day of the half
moon, October 17, 1912.
• His name, Albino Luciani
refers to “white light,” as
Albino re-lates to white and
Luciano, relates to “lucius” and
“lux.”
John Paul II (De labore solis
- “from a solar eclipse” or “of
the la¬bor of the sun.”
• Was born on the day of a
partial solar eclipse over the
Indian Ocean (May 18, 1920), and
died on the day of a rare double
ec-lipse over the southwest
Pacific and South America (April
8, 2005). This appears to be the
most convincing argument.
• John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla,
labored “in the sun” in a quarry
during World War II.
• His special admiration is
for the Virgin Mary, known as
the Woman of the Sun in
Revelation 12 (one depiction of
her).
• Traditional Catholics view
Catholicism, post-Vatican II, as
“the great apostasy” and see
this time in which Pope John
Paul I and II reigned as “the
eclipse of the sun.”
