1000-year-old prophecy predicted newly elected pope because the final with terrifying warning to humanity
Catholics around the globe are at the moment rejoicing after the Vatican School of Cardinals has elected Pope Leo XIV to steer the church.
Pope Leo XIV – previously often known as Cardinal Robert Prevost – was confirmed as the brand new pontiff earlier in the present day (8 Could) simply weeks after the demise of Pope Francis on the age of 88 on Easter Monday (April 22).
The sight of white smoke drifting from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel must be a second of pleasure for followers of the Catholic Church in addition to the individuals of America and Peru, the place Pope Leo XIV spent nearly all of his profession.
Nevertheless there’s one group of people who find themselves treating the election of a brand new pope with hesitance.
Enter, the conspiracy theorists.
That is proper of us, benefit from the election of Pope Leo XIV when you can as a result of a resurfaced 100-year-old prophecy suggests the 69-year-old will apparently be the final Bishop of Rome.
As a few of it’s possible you’ll already remember, we have beforehand lined the resurgence of a textual content allegedly written within the 1100s by a fella by the identify of Saint Malachy, often known as merely ‘Malachy’ throughout his lifetime, titled ‘Prophecy of the Popes’.
Following the theme of most texts which start with the phrase ‘prophecy’ Saint Malachy’s predictions do not see a reasonably ending for mankind.
In keeping with Malachy’s textual content, there could be an additional 112 popes after his lifetime.
The listing ends with an ominous reference to a person named ‘Peter the Roman’ who’s serving because the Bishop of Rome throughout finish instances.
In keeping with textual content, Peter the Roman’s tenure unfolds within the following method: “Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in lots of tribulations, and when this stuff are completed, the town of seven hills might be destroyed, and the dreadful choose will choose his individuals. The Finish.”
Now in fact the skeptics amongst us might be very fast to note that ‘Peter the Roman’ sounds nothing like Pope Leo XIV. The pontiff’s full birth-name, Robert Francis Prevost, does not even embody the identify Peter both. So it is fairly protected to imagine ole’ Saint Malachy missed the mark on that one.
The textual content additionally will get his nationality incorrect, as Pope Leo XIV holds each American and Peruvian citizenship, not Italian, as a moniker equivalent to ‘the Roman’ would recommend.
In the meantime, others have believed the late Pope Francis may’ve been the fateful ‘Peter the Roman’, nonetheless this concept has been fully rubbished through the years for comparable causes.
Josh Canning, director of Toronto’s Chaplaincy on the Newman Centre, mentioned in 2013, via World Information: “I do not know how one can join Peter the Roman with Pope Francis.”
So if we simply occur to get up tomorrow and discover comets raining from the sky and nuclear missiles flying left and proper then I am going to fortunately maintain my palms up and say I am incorrect.
However for now, I feel Pope Leo XIV most likely has extra urgent issues than a prophecy which can or could not have been written by a man named Saint Malachy.
