The prophecies of the saint Malachy of Armagh (1094 -1148)



The prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop of Armagh, have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there will be only one more pope after Benedict, and during his reign comes the end of the world. So Francis could be the last. 

The prediction in full is "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign 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. The End.”
The father of the current pope was Peter or Pietro and was from Italy even though the family moved to Argentina.

In 1139, then Archbishop Malachy went to Rome from Ireland to give an account of his affairs. While there he received a strange vision about the future that included the name of every pope, 112 in all from his time, who would rule until the end of time. We are now at the second last prophecy.
His predictions are taken very seriously. As one report states: "In 1958, before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was "pastor et nautor," the motto attributed to the next Pope in the prophecies."
As for the prophecy concerning the 111th pope, Pope Benedict, the prophecy says of him, "Gloria Olivae," which means "the glory of the Olive."
The Order of Saint Benedict is also known as the Olivetans, which many claim makes Malachy's prophecies correct. The next and final pope then should be "Peter Romanus."
St. Malachy gave an account of his visions to Pope Innocent II, but the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590.
Many of the prophecies are spot on. For example, the one about Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose). He was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figure a fleur-de-lis. Pope John Paul II is De labore Solis meaning "of the eclipse of the sun." Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse.
Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his many journeys to new lands.
So will Benedict’s successor be the last pope? The Irish seer of the 12th century has said it will be so. Time will tell.

  1. What dismays me more is that people like Anoop still give such importance to the so called prophecies like those of Malachy of Armagh. Such sayings or writings, most of them concocted, manipulated or fully fake, don't in any way influence the history of mankind. We are not that important a species as to be warned by God through some medium of what is to be expected. History is part of the evolution of being and evolution can never be predicted. And in this evolution the Papacy of the Catholic Church is of absolute null importance, that no reasonable person can expect it to become the content of any worthwhile prophecy, even if we attach to them any value. Take them for genuine for a moment, but then what or how do we profit by them after all? The fact that such prophesies are only made known after the event or persons mentioned in them are done and gone proves them to be immaterial and to be totally ignored.
