Though his words were to scorn the Catholic Church and the Pope, this prediction about the Pope may have been quite right. An 11th century Bishop and mystic, Saint Malachy, prophesied the number of remaining popes (112) before the end times. He has accurately described each future Pope with traits and characteristics that pertain specifically to their pontificate, their personality, or their country of origin. Here is an outline from a Catholic web site:
"An 11th-century Irish Bishop Máel Máedoc Morgair who introduced Roman Catholic Liturgy to Ireland presumably had gifts of healing, prophecy and miracles. After his death he was canonised as Saint Mallachy (1094?-1148)
In 1130, when he was on a pilgrimage to Rome to have an audience with Pope Innocent II, at the sight of the "immortal City" he had a vision of all the popes from his time until the endtime! These predictions "Prophetia de Futuribus Pontificidbus Romanis" were presented to Innocent II and misplaced in Vatican archives, but later they were published in 1596 by a Benedict Monk.
Malachy predicted a succesion line of 112 popes and their characteristics in the form of thumbnail sketches which he wrote down in little rhymes. Acccording to Mallachy's predictions the present Polish Pope from Krakow, is no 110, and so we have one more Pope to go, called "Gloria Olivae" before the very last one… "Petrus Romanus", about whom he wrote: "In the final persecution of the church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock through many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful judge will judge the people."
Let's see. Kerry for 8 years and then Hillary for 7 1/2 before the end of time. Boy what a legacy that would be. "I was president when the world ended!"
But who would there be to listen to her?
