Interesting. Very very interesting!

I wonder what the 113th pope will have to say about all this!

Prophecy of St Malachy (with list of Popes)

The Prophecies of St. Malachy

Though they are a bit obscure, they have fit the general profile of each of the Popes.

Obscure? They're fantasy, with the most tenuous connection to the vast majority of Popes, especially those of the last 200 years.

Pope No. 110 – John Paul II (1978-2005). The prophecy for the 110th Pope was “De Labore Solis”, which means ‘from the labor of the sun.’ John Paul II was born during an eclipse of the sun on May 8, 1920. As the sun rises out of the East, so he came to the Vatican from the east. Wherever on the earth the sun shines, he visited.

Hal is as "good" with the facts as usual, I see. If he had bothered to verify what he writes or pastes, he would have at least noticed the error in the date. Since I've seen this May 8th date in several articles, I suspect that it was originally a typo, and subsequent authors failed to correct it. The eclipse occurred on May 18th, 1920.

Mt. St. Helen's blew its top on JPII's 60th birthday.

Interesting in that Lindsay must be getting quite desparate if he's started counting Popes to back up his theories!

The world must have gone quite mad - what kind of self-respecting Fundie gets into Pope counting?

Hal Lindsey having a website called Oracle is like if I had a website called "the world's greatest figure skater .com"

[Oztrich Boy]

it was deposited in the Vatican Archives where it was forgotten for several centuries. Then in 1590, it was rediscovered and published.

Now Available: an exciting new work from the authors of The Donation of Constatine

You can't lose credibility faster than those four little words: "written by Hal Lindsey." ;-)

[mjtobias]

"The interesting thing is that scholars have matched the brief 110 descriptive predictions with each of the 110 Popes and anti-Popes that there have been since Innocent II."

The above statement is false.

I've read all of the papal prophecies by Malachy and he didn't predict anything.

The author of this drivel is another charlatan, like all the rest.

[WhiteGuy]

I don't buy much of this "prophecy" crap...........

I'll start to take it seriously when anyone accurately predicts the "superlotto" numbers.

Having stated my position, I would like to say that I enjoyed Hal Lindsey very much on his hit sitcom from the '70s "Barney Miller"

[wagglebee]

While the entire Christian world mourns the Pope's passing, Lindsey further clarifies his anti-Catholic bigotry.
