LAST POPE COMING UP!


Many of you probably already know this but according to a famous Catholic prophet of the 12th century, the next pope will be the very last one. He will be the anti-Christ pope when Jesus returns. Here's the info on all the popes including the "last one" [according to the prophesy] who will be elected in Rome somewhere around March 1, 2013.

Prophecys about popes by saint Malachy in 12th century.... 
The prophecy was first published in 1595 by Arnold de Wyon, a Benedictine historian, as part of his book Lignum Vitæ.  Wyon attributed the list to Saint Malachy, the 12th‑century bishop of Armagh in Ireland. According to the traditional account, in 1139, Malachy was summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent II. While in Rome, Malachy purportedly experienced a vision of future popes, which he recorded as a sequence of cryptic phrases. This manuscript was then deposited in the Roman Archive, and thereafter forgotten about until its rediscovery in 1590.
On the other hand, Bernard of Clairvaux's biography of Malachy makes no mention of the prophecy, nor is it mentioned in any record prior to its 1595 publication.[1] Some sources, including the most recent editions of the Catholic Encyclopedia, suggest that the prophecy is a late 16th‑century forgery. Some have suggested that it was created by Nostradamus and was credited to Saint Malachy so the purported seer would not be blamed for the destruction of the papacy. Supporters, such as author John Hogue, who wrote a popular book titled The Last Pope about the claims, generally argue that, even if the author of the prophecies is uncertain, the predictions are still valid.

Interpretation

Interpretation of the mottos has generally relied on finding correspondences between the mottos and the popes' birthplaces, their personal arms, and the events of their pontificates. For example, the first motto, Ex castro Tiberis (From a castle on the Tiber), fits Pope Celestine II's birthplace in Città di Castello, on the Tiber.
Pope Clement XIII, referred to in the prophecy as Rosa Umbriae, the rose of Umbria, is stated to have used a rose "as his personal emblem" (his coat of arms does not include one, however, nor was he from Umbria nor had any but the most marginal connection with the region, having been briefly pontifical governor of Rieti, at the time part of Umbria). The technique of word play was evident in instances where interpreters find a phrase fitting more than one explanation.
It is notable that where the interpretation of the prophecy is clear (as is the case for almost all of the Popes prior to 1590), the reference is almost always to some characteristic possessed by the Pope prior to assuming the Papacy—e.g., his birthplace, his arms, his surname, or his cardinal see. However, for more recent Popes, efforts to connect the prophecy with the pope have often focused on the events of his pontificate.
In recent times, some interpreters of prophetic literature have drawn attention to the prophecies, both because of their success in finding connections between the prophecies and recent popes, and because of the prophecies' imminent conclusion. Interpretations made before the elections of recent popes have not generally predicted their papacies accurately.

Popes and corresponding mottos

This list, adapted from The Prophecies of St. Malachy by Peter Bander, begins its numbering two numbers ahead of the Vatican's numbering of popes (Benedict XVI is the 265th, not the 267th). The reason for this is unclear (perhaps because of the two purported "anti-popes").
The list can be divided into two groups; one of the 74 Popes and Antipopes who reigned prior to the appearance of the Prophecy in 1590, for whom the connection between the motto and the Pope is usually clear but can be seen as postdiction. The other is of the 38 Popes who have reigned since 1590, for whom the connection between the motto and the Pope is often strained or totally opaque and could be viewed as shoehorning

Yes anonymous - so true.

THOUSANDS of years of MANIPULATION, DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD out of the Vatican and/or out of the mouth of any priest or Jesuit either!

STOP GIVING MONEY TO THIS EVIL ENTITY that needs to be fully prosecuted beginning with assisting HITLER with all of his atrocities!

DO NOT ALLOW the resigned POPE to escape into never-never land!

DO NOT ALLOW the Vatican to ordain another EVIL POPE...STOP THE INSANITY.

ROMAN CATHOLICS, for the love of GOD (yes you read that correct) - STOP PARTICIPATING in their evil ways!

When EVERYONE STOPS attending their churches and stops sending them money and STOPS paying attention to their happy crap, they will fade away (hopefully all in jail)!

If you are a Catholic reading this, write to your Priest and tell that man to step down...otherwise, he will be held for prosecution of the lies that have been told to all of the people he has served mass to! THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and the needs to be held accountable (fyi former R.C. so I am fully aware of the BS they spew out of their mouths every sunday, every holiday, every chance they can to try and brain-wash along with steal the money from the people).

YOU ARE A WORTHY ABUNDANT LOVED BEING...stop listening to these evil psycho-paths!

FYI THE BIBLE WAS RE-WRITTEN TO KEEP THE MASSES IN LINE AND TO STEAL THEIR MONEY. IT HAS ALSO BE ORCHESTRATED TO LOOK like "prophecy" since they CONTROL IT ALL.

PLEASE wake-up!
