When the cardinals of the world pick John Paul II's successor, they may well be choosing the next-to-last pope. The pope who then follows this choice in the Chair of St. Peter will be the last pope, and after his reign Rome will be destroyed. Such has been the prophecy of St. Malachy, an Irish bishop who at his death in 1148 A.D. was discovered to have left behind a prophetic list of all future popes beginning with Pope Celestine II, whose papacy began in 1143 A.D. Malachy included a single line in Latin identifying a characteristic of each pope. Historians say Malachy's prediction – wherein he listed just 112 popes – has been amazingly accurate. According to his list, there are just two more popes after the late John Paul II. Here are the seven last popes as identified from St. Malachy's list: 106. Pius XII 1939 - 1958 Eugenio Pacelli Pastor Angelicus Translated: An Angelic Shepherd 107. John XXIII 1968 - 1963 Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli Pastor Et Natua Translated: Pastor and Mariner 108. Paul VI 1963 - 1978 Giovanni Battista Montini Flos Florum Translated: Flower of Flowers 109. John Paul I 1978 - 1978 Albino Luciani De Medietate Lunae Translated: Of the Half Moon 110. John Paul II 1978 - 2005 Karol Jozef Wojtyla De Labore Solis Translated: From the Toil of the Sun 111. The next pope "Gloria Olivae" Translated: The Glory of the Olive 112. The last pope! "Petrus Romanus" Translated: Peter the Roman Wrote St. Malachy of the last pope: "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, and the formidable Judge will judge the people. The End." According to his biographer St. Bernard of Clairvaux, in his book "Life of Saint Malachy," the saint was known to have the gift of prophesy and had even predicted the exact day and hour of his own death. Saint Malachy was canonized in 1190 by Pope Clement III. While in Rome in 1139, Saint Malachy is said to have gone into a trance and received a vision in which he foresaw all the popes from the death of Innocent II until the end of time. Afterward he wrote a few words about each pope and gave the manuscript to Pope Innocent II, who is said to have deposited it in Vatican Archives, where it lay forgotten until it was discovered in 1590 and published. At the time, some questioned its authenticity and it has been the subject of debate ever since. The manuscript contains 112 prophecies, which scholars have matched with each of the 110 popes and anti-popes since Innocent II . Here are the prophecies for the most recent popes: # Paul VI. The words of the 108th prophecy are "Flos Florum" (Flower of Flowers). The 108th pope after Innocent II was Paul VI (1963-78). His coat of arms included three fleurs-de-lis (iris blossoms). # John Paul I. The 109th is "De Medietate Lunae" (Of the Half Moon). The corresponding pope was John Paul I (1978-78), who was born in the diocese of Belluno (beautiful moon) and was baptized Albino Luciani (white light). He became pope on August 26, 1978, when the moon appeared exactly half full. It was in its waning phase. He died the following month, soon after an eclipse of the moon. # John Paul II. The 110th is "De Labore Solis" (Of the Solar Eclipse, or From the Toil of the Sun). The corresponding pope was John Paul II (1978-2005). John Paul II was born on May 8, 1920 during an eclipse of the sun. Like the sun, he came out of the East (Poland). Like the sun, he visited countries all around the globe. Today the final two prophecies are yet to be fulfilled: The 111th prophecy is "Gloria Olivae" (The Glory of the Olive). The meaning of the olive is unclear. The Order of Saint Benedict – not St. Malachy – has claimed that this pope will come from its ranks and Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its final fight against evil. The 112th prophecy says, "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

do they ever prophesy good news?
That is such a good question/observation.
We blinked and missed the Good Newz.
The Glory of the Olive might be a harbinger of peace (for a brief respite).
This is unfortunate.. Not so much the end of the world, because men can do nothing about that, but rather the almost certain fact that someone (or a group of someone's) will attempt to "hasten the coming" by eliminating these last 2 remaining, "obstacles"
John Paul II dumbed down the standards for sainthood. The founder of Opus Dei got canonized by John Paul II. Meanwhile Herman the Cripple languishes at beatitude.
I think this indicates that the new Pope with either resemble a pimento or a martini. I can't say which.
Pope Popeye. Or Bluto, aka Brutus. Ok, now I'm wierding myself out.
Did it occur to you that it could be a ripe olive? In that case Pope is to resemble a pizza. Although a salad is also a possibility.
To be a prophet, he has to be 100% accurate....not close--that's for horse shoes and hand grenades. I know virtually nothing regarding the Catholic Church, nor this alleged prophet. Could be this is real--I don't happen to think so. I doubt since the time of the disciples and Paul that there has been anyone who has been given a closer insight as to the end time or era.
Well I heard the new testament prophecized the rise of a "Jorge of Babylon" or someone like that. Btw, I heard that Paul was a book-burner.
I haven't had a chance to browse this completely, but more info is here:
So, is there some significance to Eggs Bennies?
"A Martini. ~~ James Bond
Not that I am aware, unless St. Bene was slightly poached when making these revelations.
Whew. Thanks. Now I can have that Bloody Mary without considering any theological connotations.
Remember the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich? Well, now it's the Lard Jesus frying pan. Served up $28K on eBay, hollandaise not included. Bon appetit.
The old saying of "If it bleeds, it leads" has had staying power for a reason. Seriously, would the New Testament have been such a big seller if it didn't have the "wars and rumors of wars" and famine, plague, pestilence and death?
I hope you guys are hungry, because with the pope's passing I'm going to be making french toast until I get a slice with a likeness of JPII on it. Come on, baby.....Orangedog needs a new 7 series BMW!
The 760Li ... 438 horsepower V12 .........mmmmmmmmmm! Due in next month. G-SUS a sweet machine.
if you have checked out Drudge, could even be a black olive dont'cha think?
Droooooooooool! Someday I'll have the Arian uber-car. Until then I'll have to settle for the Sweedish tank.
Newsmax continues to get weirder and weirder. Totally off topic, but run out and get some of the Kikkoman cucumber salad sauce, and some cucumbers, red onion, shrimp, and red or orange pepper. Plus a couple of spicy peppers. Cook and chill the shrimp. Then quarter the cukes and slice real thin. Cut onion and pepper into matchsticks. Slice hot peppers really thin. Then pour about three tablespoons of the sauce over the mixture, and cut the shrimp into pieces. Refrigerate. Then cook the rest of your dinner and enjoy. This sauce is great. Sweet and a bit pungent.
If I had the ready DM, I'd spring for a Carrera GT but would settle for a new CarerraS ... would be way more fun than a beemer 100 less hp/same bucks ... coz who wants a sedan.
I had my fun with sports cars. These days I'm perfectly fine with a car that is completely designed with my comfort in mind. Maybe I'll go for a sports car again at mid-life crisis time.
My thoery on when America went awry. When we got bucket seats in the front instead of the sofa seats. Damn stick shift kept getting in the way.
Bucket seats just forced people to be a little more creative.
