It appears that there has possibly been confusion and misinterpretation
about the 111th and 112th popes prophecy.
The writer of the article below says that the Benedictines added a prophecy
and yet stated that it was about someone who was not a Benedictine - Peter
the Roman, which is illogical.
If Malachy is correct and has not been tampered with; then the papacy that
was started by Simon (Pater) the Sorcerer condemned by Simon Peter in Acts,
and it exists in Rome; it is only logical that the last poop would be Peter
the Roman, to come full circle and be destroyed by the truth.
http://i.am/jah/darth.htm The Peter the Roman under whom the Vatican is to be destroyed accords with
the Book of Revelation, so appears to have validity. If the Benedictines did
add an extra poop to the list, it is also logical that they would place him
before Peter the Roman, so that would make sense too.
We will not have long to wait to see which is true.
" However, in the 1820 printed version of Malachy's prophesies, Lignum Vitre
(written in 1559 by a Benedictine historian, Arnold Wyon), a 112th pope
appears that was not in Malachy's original manuscript. The 112th pope was
added by the Olivetan monks. The Order of St. Benedict claims this final
pope will come within the Benedictine Order, and that he was placed in the
secession line because St. Benedict himself prophesied that before the end
of the world, his Order will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its
battle against evil (the Battle of Armageddon). "
" I had previously read, in various articles and books, that the Malachy
Prophecy specifically targeted the origin of the 110th pope as being from
either Poland or Eastern Europe. Those reports are untrue. In reality as the
Malachy Prophecy is carefully examined, it is accurate ‹ to this point.
There remains one pontiff in this prophecy. (If you add the Benedictine
prophecy, described as Petrus Romanus, there are two. But, the Benedictine
addition is not part of the original prophecy and, therefore, does not
belong. The 111th Pope is described as Gloria Olivae (the glory of the
olives).
There are a couple of palatably logical scenarios here. First, olives and
olive branches denote peace. With the continuous strife in the Middle East ‹
wars and rumors of war ‹ and with Bible prophecy telling us that when
Antichrist appears on the world he will arrange a peace so deceitfully
alluring that the world will adore him. That's one. The other? That our new
pontiff might arise from a third world Muslim country ‹ or that his roots
are from the Middle East. There is one more. The Order of the Benedictines
is also known as the "Olivetans." St. Benedict prophesied that the last pope
would be from that order. It is possible that God planned this in His own
calculations, and that Gloria Olivae and not Petrus Romanus is the Olivetan
priest. I guess in the upcoming days or weeks, we will learn the answer. An
865-year old prophecy will shortly come true‹or prove to be a fraud. Up to
this point, it has been deadly accurate. What are the odds, at this late
date, that the balance of it proves to be wrong? "
The media are saying that the next poop will be the 265th poop, but Malachy
appears from its interpreters to say poop John Paul 2 was the 266th poop, so
it looks like the Vatican, as usual, is putting out disinformation to create
more confusion, knowing what Malachy prophesied.
http://i.am/jah/darth.htm "The 268th poop - In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church
will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many
tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed
(as in Revelation 18), and the formidable Judge (Christ) will judge his
people. The End (of the Vatican and poops)."
As always, time will tell and there should not be long to wait. The chimney
is smoking.

THE POPE'S FUNERAL AND THE MALACHY PROPHECY
By Jon Christian Ryter
April 8, 2005
NewsWithViews.com
In 1094 A.D. a son and heir was born into a propertied family of noble birth
named O'Morgair in Armagh, in what is now Northern Ireland. The male child
was baptized Maelmhaedhoc. In later years, when he was placed under the
tutorship of Imbar O'Hagan in the Abby at Armagh for his formal schooling,
Maelmhaedhoc's name would be Latinized, and he would become known as
Malachy. His Irish descendants adopted Maelmhaedhoc O'Morgair's baptismal
name‹Malachy‹ as the family's surname. After a long course of studies, young
Maelmhaedhoc decided ‹or rather, his father did‹he wanted to become a Roman
Catholic priest. He was ordained in 1119 AD at the age of 25. He continued
his theological education in Lismore. Malachy, was ordained as Abbot of
Bangor in 1123. A year later he was consecrated as the Archbishop of Connor.
In 1127 he became "father confessor" to Cormac MacCarthy, Prince of Desmond
(who would later become the King of Ireland). In 1132 he was promoted to the
primacy of Armagh. Malachy died on his second pilgrimage to Rome in 1148. He
was canonized by Pope Clemente III on July 6, 1199. Interestingly, among
Malachy's prophesies was his prediction of the day and hour of his own death
‹ and it was accurate.
Malachy had the gift of healing to aid the sick. In addition, he reported
possessed the powers of levitation and clairvoyance. Numerous miracles are
attributed to his ministry. He was also endowed with the gift of prophecy.
Most important of all of his prophesies was one concerning the succession of
the Popes‹from Pope Innocent II (who became pontiff in 1140) to the pope who
will follow John Paul II‹the last Catholic pontiff. According to his
prophecy, the line of popes will end, abruptly, with the next pope. He was
described in the prophesies of St. Malachy as Gloria Olivae (the glory of
the olive). During his reign, peace will descend over the Mideast.
Historians believe that Malachy received his papal secession vision during
his visit to Rome in 1140 for the coronation of Innocent II. Historians
claim that Malachy gave the recorded vision to the new pontiff to "comfort
him in his afflictions." Innocent II placed the document in the papal
archive where they remained for four centuries, read only by the curator of
the library and other high-ranking church officials.
Those Christians who believe Antichrist will be the Pope will see a
fulfillment of Biblical prophecy in the Malachy Prophecy. The prophecy
advances the secession of Roman Catholic pontiffs from Celestine II [1143
AD] to John Paul II's successor. who will be revealed within the next 30
days) [2005 AD]. Malachy wrote that he was inscribing the pontiffs from
Celestine II "...to the end of the world." In a vision the Holy Spirit
revealed each future pontiff by his character, geographic or physiological
attributes, or his coat of arms. In all, Malachy described 111 popes.
However, in the 1820 printed version of Malachy's prophesies, Lignum Vitre
(written in 1559 by a Benedictine historian, Arnold Wyon), a 112th pope
appears that was not in Malachy's original manuscript. The 112th pope was
added by the Olivetan monks. The Order of St. Benedict claims this final
pope will come within the Benedictine Order, and that he was placed in the
secession line because St. Benedict himself prophesied that before the end
of the world, his Order will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its
battle against evil (the Battle of Armageddon).
St. Benedict's "prophecy" was more wishful thinking than it was spiritual
insight from God. Although Malachy entrusted his vision to paper and gave
the manuscript to Pope Innocent II for safe keeping, Father Claude Francois
Menestrier, a famous 18th century Jesuit, claims the prophecies were
actually written in 1590 by Cardinal Simoncelli to influence the election of
the Cardinal of his choice as pontiff that year. The argument advanced by
advocates who favor the later date is based on the whimsical notion that
because Malachy never mentioned writing the papal ascension prophecy, he
probably didn't. Skeptics of that era felt its more likely that Cardinal
Simoncelli wrote them. However, three simple facts suggest Menestrier was
wrong, and that Malachy did write them.
First, Vatican records show that the document was entrusted to Innocent II
in 1140. Like many other important Vatican documents, the Malachy Prophecy
was one of the early documents printed on the Gutenberg Press in 1455‹135
years before Cardinal Simoncelli supposed wrote them. Second, while the
Malachy Prophecy was unknown outside the church hierarchy, printed copies of
the prophecy were in circulation before 1590. And finally, third, Malachy's
Prophecy begins with the successor to Innocent II‹Celestine II. Had
Simoncelli wrote them, the Prophecy would have begun with one of three other
Popes (since three pontiffs reigned that year). First, the prophecy might
have begun with Felice Peretti who was elected Pope Sixtus V on April 4,
1585. He died on Aug. 17, 1590. Succeeding him was Gambattista Castagna who
was elected Pope Urban VII on Sept. 15, 1590. He was the shortest reigning
pontiff in the history of the papacy ‹12 days. He died on Sept. 27, 1590. He
was succeeded by Nicolo Spondrati who took the name Gregory XIV. Spondrati
was elected on Dec. 5, 1590 and died on Oct. 5, 1591. The Prophecy would not
have begun, by prophetic inference with a pope‹Celestine II‹who had been
dead for 446 years if Simoncelli wrote the papal prophecy. He would have
known that Guido Del Castello de Castellis became Pope Celestine II. Nor
would there be any reason to mention the other popes and anti-popes in the
line of succession between Celestine II and Sixtus V or Urban VII or Gregory
XIV since there would be nothing prophetic about mentioning long dead
pontiffs by prophetic inference when the writer would have possessed their
names..
The future pontiffs were identified by a key event in the personal history
of that pope or some other identifying attribute that was unique to that
man. For example, Clement XIII who served as pontiff for 11 years between
1758 and 1769, had close ties with the Italian state of Umbria (whose State
emblem was the rose). Malachy referred to him as the "Rosa Umbriae," or the
"Rose of Umbria." Pius II‹the second shortest reigning pontiff in the
history of the Church was pope for only 26 days in 1503‹was described in
Malachy's prophecy as "De Parvo Homine" (from a little man). His family name
was Piccolomini‹Italian for "little man." Cardinal Giovanni Anngelico
Braschi, the longest serving pope, was coroneted in 1755 and reigned until
his death in 1799‹44 years. He lived 82 years‹serving as pontiff for over
half his life. Contemporary Christian writers refer to Pius VI as the
Apostolic Pilgrim on Earth. Malachy aptly described him as the pilgrim pope.
In rare instances, as it was with Pius VII, it was the political
circumstance under which he was coroneted. Pius VII‹Barnaba Chiaramonte‹was
named a cardinal by Pope Pius VI in 1786. His rise to power in the Church
was overshadowed by the rise in power of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Conclave of
Cardinals elected him Pope in 1800. He died in 1823. His pontificate was
symbolized by the eagle‹the symbol by which Napoleon was known.
Pope Leo XIII [1878-1903]‹He was described in the papal prophecy as "Lumen
in Caelo" (Light in the Heavens). Real name: Gioacchio Vincenzo Raffaele.
His coat of arms depicted a shooting star. Pope Pius X [1903-1914]‹"Ignis
Ardens" (Burning Fire). Real name: Giuseppe Melchiarre Sarto. It was during
Sarto's reign that Europe ignited in war, and like a brush fire, the flames
of discontent spread from one nation to the next until finally, in 1914, war
engulfed the entire continent. Benedict XV [1914-22] "Religio Depopulata"
(Religion Devastated) Real name: Giacomo Della Chiesa. Benedict XV was known
as the pope of war as the flames of discontent traversed the globe. But even
more important, the godless, secular New World Order that will see the
fulfillment of the prophesies in Revelation 13 (one world government),
Revelation 17 (the one world church) and Revelation 18 (the one world
economy) was born in 1920‹during his reign. Pope Pius XI [1922-1939]‹ "Fides
Intrepida" (Unshaken Faith) Real name: Achilee Ratti. As pontiff, Ratti
witnessed the world prepare for a sequel to the "war to end all wars." He
witnessed the birth of the abortion movement in Europe and the rise of
atheistic secularism as it was taught to the world's youths in the major
colleges and universities of the world as globalists faced the challenge or
evicting God from the minds of the citizens of the emerging New World Order.
Pope Pius XII [1939-1958]‹"Pastor Angelicus" (Angelic Shepherd). Real name:
Eugento Pacelli. Pacelli spent most of his early church career in the
diplomatic service of the Vatican. From 1917 until 1929, he was Nuncio in
Germany. In 1930 he became Vatican Secretary of State. He was a natural
choice to follow Ratti into the papacy since there were no other church
leaders experienced enough to deal with the Church, and with heads of State,
during a global conflict. The publication of a myriad of Catholic Church
documents between 1967 and 1990 confirm that, from his actions and secret
papal decrees throughout the war years, Pius XII was, in the truest sense,
the angelic pastor of his flock. Pope John XXIII [1958-1963]‹"Pastor et
nauta" (Pastor and mariner) Real name: Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli. Roncalli
spend several years as the apostolic delegate and Nuncio in Turkey, Greece,
Bulgaria and France. Roncalli was named Archbishop of Areoplis (Rabbath and
Moah) in Palestine around the birth of Israel in 1948. In 1953 Pope Pius XII
named him as the Cardinal of Venice. He was viewed, at the time, as the most
beloved of all modern popes. That was, of course, until the pontificating of
Karol Wojtyla, the Polish prince of the church, John Paul II. Most
historians believe Roncalli fulfilled the Malachy Prophecy as the "mariner"
through his tenure in Venice, the water city. However, prophetically, when
he became the Archbishop of Palestine, he could be construed as being "an
evangelical mariner" since the lands of the Gentiles and Muslims are
prophetically referred to as "the sea." Pope Paul VI [1953-1968]‹"Flos
Florum" (Flower of flowers). His reign as pontiff was relatively short‹only
five years. Real name: Giovanni Battista Montini. Like Pius XII he reached
the zenith of power in the Catholic Church through the office of the Vatican
Secretary of State. The Conclave of Cardinals elected him Pope in 1963. The
coat of arms of the Montini family depicts three fleurs-de-lis. Pope John
Paul I [1978-1978 (34 days)]‹"DeMedietate lunae" (of the half moon). Real
name: Albino Buciani. Buciani served almost three times as long as Pope
Urban VII, yet has the distinction of being the second shortest reigning
pope. It was because of the briefness of his tenure that Wojtyla took the
papal name, John Paul II. During the brief reign of John Paul I, the rise of
Muslim extremism against the Gentile world exploded and OPEC (Oil Producing
Exporting Countries) was born, and the Arabs began to use oil as a weapon
against the industrial nations. The symbol of the Muslim world is the
crescent‹the half moon. Pope John Paul II [1978-2005]‹"De Lobaore solis" (Of
the eclipse of the sun) Or, the phrase could also be interpreted as "from
the toil of the sun." John Paul II, the Polish Prince of the Catholic
Church, has proven in death to be the most admired man in the world. Over 3
million people have traveled to Rome to pay their last respects to the
fallen pontiff who mastered 8 languages but spoke 20 as he evangelized the
world for Christ. Unlike most of the early Popes who came from the landed
class of their time, Karol Wojtyla , like several of the modern day popes,
came from the common working class and spend much time as a laborer in
Poland, working under the hot, European sun. However, many other Popes could
claim the same, thus the analogy "from the toil of the sun" does not appear
to fit. Thus historians scrambled to examine how many solar eclipses took
place during the reign of John Paul II. In the two plus decades of John Paul
II's pontificate, there were 16 solar eclipses that were visible from
southern Europe. But, there is too much ambiguity here because as you travel
around the globe, 16 solar eclipses in one part of the world may be 9 solar
eclipses, or 5, or 3, somewhere else. Or a total eclipse in my part of the
country, or world, will likely be a partial eclipse in yours. The prophecy
is much simpler than that. Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a
solar eclipse in Poland. On April 8. 2005 during the funeral services for
the pontiff, the world will experience an unusual hybrid eclipse of the Sun.
The central path of the eclipse will run across the South Pacific where it
will change from an annular eclipse to a total eclipse, and then back to an
annular eclipse again before it reaches South America. It will be seen as a
partial eclipse in the southern United States. It was visible from southern
California, swinging northward to New Jersey. No eclipse was visible north
of that diagonal line. It would appear that the eclipse of the sun fits far
better than "from the toll of the sun."
I had previously read, in various articles and books, that the Malachy
Prophecy specifically targeted the origin of the 110th pope as being from
either Poland or Eastern Europe. Those reports are untrue. In reality as the
Malachy Prophecy is carefully examined, it is accurate‹to this point. There
remains one pontiff in this prophecy. (If you add the Benedictine prophecy,
described as Petrus Romanus, there are two. But, the Benedictine addition is
not part of the original prophecy and, therefore, does not belong. The 111th
Pope is described as Gloria Olivae (the glory of the olives).
There are a couple of palatably logical scenarios here. First, olives and
olive branches denote peace. With the continuous strife in the Middle
East‹wars and rumors of war‹and with Bible prophesy telling us that when
Antichrist appears on the world he will arrange a peace so deceitfully
alluring that the world will adore him. That's one. The other? That our new
pontiff might arise from a third world Muslim country‹or that his roots are
from the Middle East. There is one more. The Order of the Benedictines is
also known as the "Olivetans." St. Benedict prophesied that the last pope
would be from that order. It is possible that God planned this in His own
calculations, and that Gloria Olivae and not Petrus Romanus is the Olivetan
priest. I guess in the upcoming days or weeks, we will learn the answer. An
865-year old prophecy will shortly come true‹or prove to be a fraud. Up to
this point, it has been deadly accurate. What are the odds, at this late
date, that the balance of it proves to be wrong?
While you are mulling over the pros and cons of that question, here are a
few other medieval prophecies dealing with our current age that might add
some additional weight to the heaviness of the Malachy Prophecy‹or give the
skeptic cause to scoff.
One of the most striking prophesies, reminiscent of the recent tsunami and
the earthquakes now following the Pacific "ring of fire" as hundreds of
submerged volcanos becomes active, was made by St. Hildegard shortly before
his death in the 12th Century, was this one: "The time is coming when
princes and peoples will reject the authority of the Pope. Some countries
will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German Empire will be
divided. Before the comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be
scourged by want and famine. The Great Nation in the ocean that is inhabited
by people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by earthquake,
storm, and tidal wave. It will be divided and, in great part, submerged.
That nation will have many misfortunes at sea and lose it colonies. After
the great comet, the Great Nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms
and great waves of water, causing much want and plagues. The ocean will also
flood many other countries so that all coastal cities will live in fear,
with many destroyed. All sea coast cities will be fearful, and many of them
will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures will be killed,
and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease. For in one of
those cities does a person live according to the Laws of God. A powerful
wind will rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it
will fill their throats and eyes so that they will cease in their butchery
and be stricken with great fear."
John of Vitiguerro, in the 13th century prophesied that "...The pope will
change his residence and the Church will not be defended for 25 months
because during all that time there will be no Pope in Rome. After many
tribulations, a Pope shall be elected out of those who survived the
persecutions." A 14th century bishop, John of the Cleft Rock prophesied that
"...Towards the end of the world, tyrants and hostile mobs will rob the
Church and the clergy of all their possessions and will afflict and martyr
them. Those who heap the most abuse upon them will be held in high esteem.
At that time, the Pope and his cardinals will have to flee Rome in tragic
circumstances to a place where they will be unknown. The Pope will die a
cruel death in his exile. The sufferings of the Church will be much greater
than at any previous time in her history. But God will raise a holy Pope,
and the Angels will rejoice."
Before he died in 1878, Pope Pius IX uttered these words: "There will come a
great wonder, which will fill the world with astonishment. This wonder will
be preceded by the triumph of revolution. The Church will suffer
exceedingly. Her servants and chieftains will be mocked, scourged, and
martyred." Prior to his prophecy, the Ecstatic of Tours uttered these
prophetic words: "Before the war breaks out, food will become scarce and
expensive. There will be little work for the workers, and fathers will hear
their children crying for food. There will be earthquakes and signs in the
sun. Toward the end, darkness will cover the Earth. When everyone believes
that peace is ensured, when everyone least expects it, the Great Happening
will begin."
Hmm...if I didn't know better, I might think that Matthew 24:5-30 was about
to happen. Are you ready? If the Malachy Prophecy is true, we'd better all
be.
