Catholics around the world are rejoicing because the Vatican College of Cardinals picked Pope Leo XIV to head the church.
Pope Leo XIV, who was a Cardinal Robert Prevost before his confirmation earlier today (8 May), only a few weeks after Pope Francis died on Easter Monday (April 22) at the age of 88.
The news of white smoke coming out of the Sistine Chapel’s chimney should make Catholics and people of America, and Peru where Pope Leo XIV lived most of his life happy.
Still, there is one group of people who hesitate to support the choice of a new pope.
You heard it, people, savor Pope Leo XIV’s election, because a redicycled 100-year-old prophecy says that the 69 year old will be the last Bishop of Rome.
And as some of you might know we already covered the resurrection of the manuscript entitled ‘Prophecy of the Popes’ this one that allegedly was written in XIIth century by a man named Saint Malachy, or simply ‘Malachy’.
The prognoses made by Saint Malachy are not encouraging to mankind either, as is common practice with books dated ‘prophecy’.
Based on Malachy’s essay there would be an extra 112 popes after his life.
The list is ended by a frightening mention of a man, named as ‘Peter the Roman’, who acts as Bishop of Rome during the End Times.
From the Bible, Peter the roman’s tenancy is; “Peter the Roman, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations, and when these be ended, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people.” “The end”.
The doubters, of course, would note that ‘Peter the Roman’ does not ring true as Pope Leo XIV. The pontiff’s name at birth, Robert Francis Prevost, does not even include the name, Peter. Therefore, it’s safe to say then that Saint Malachy completely dropped the ball there.
The text also gives him the wrong nationality, for Pope Leo XIV is not Italian, as a moniker such as the ‘Roman’ would indicate, but rather a citizen of both America and Peru.
Others have speculated the late Pope Francis was the fateful “Peter the Roman”, a position which has been thoroughly debunked for identical reasons over the years.
Chaplaincy at the Newman Centre director of Toronto, Josh Canning, told Global News in 2013, “I don’t know how you can connect Peter the Roman with Pope Francis”.
Therefore when we go to bed today to wake up tomorrow to comets falling from the skies and nuclear missiles flying left and right, I will gladly raise my hands and say I was wrong.
However, at the moment, I think that Pope Leo XIV is consumed by something other than a prophesy written by a man named Saint Malachy.
