COMMENT: I remember you saying that Pope Francis would not be the last pope and that he would not last until 2032. Well, your critique of St. Malachy’ will be correct. Francis is not the last pope and he is in critical condition right now at 89 years old.

REPLY: St. Malachy’s prophecy is interesting, but many consider it a hoax. I found it curious that his last 112th Pope in his prophecy concludes with “Peter the Roman,“ whose pontificate will allegedly precede the destruction of the city of Rome since Peter is considered the first Pope. The founder of Rome was Romulus, and the first emperor was Augustus. The last emperor of Western Rome has the name Romulus Augustus (475-476AD). Cyclically, Rome ended with the emperor, who had the first name. If St. Malachy’s prophecy is correct, the next pope would take Peter. Then, with Europe pushing for World War III to strip mine Russia’s $75 trillion in assets, perhaps if the next pope become Peter, this would be very interesting. That would call into question the theory that it was a hoax. If we take from 1148, Pope Francis is only #99 – not 111. We will have to wait and see. But this prophecy does not seem to add up with history.
