THE MALACHI PAPERS: A PAPAL PROPHECY TO REPLACE THE MAYA PROPHECY



 THE MALACHI PAPERS: A PAPAL PROPHECY TO REPLACE THE MAYA PROPHECY

Not content with the sudden peetering out of the much vaunted prophecy of the Maya, those people who love their doomsday theories, will undoubtedly embrace a brand new prophecy, which is 800 years in the making.

Of course some aficionados of the Vatican's history already knew about the Malachi prophecy, although some people seem to be confused as to exactly which pope is to be the last one.

St. Malachi, a Saint from Ireland, who lived in the 12th century, apparently wrote a secret revelation, which was supposed to shake the Vatican to its core, albeit 800 tears later. Malachi, in fact, wrote his prophecy in 112 verses, one for each of the popes to be before the last, whose demise would coincide with the end of the Vatican and, almost 'predictably' the end of the world.

Of course people have taken Malachi's cryptic verses and tried to match each one with a pope all the way to the present one. Curiously enough, the 110 th pope is none other than the beloved Pope Woytila, who was identified int the secretive language as the pope who was born "of the labor of the sun". Pope Woytila, oddly enough, was born and died during a solar eclipse. 

This alone will send doomsday lovers a-twitter - literally - with glee. Who could deny such precise and highly unusual circumstance for a pope?

But that not being enough for diehard doomsday lovers, the present pope is then interpreted as being the "glory of the olives", a further "telling" coincidence, since Pope Ratzenberger was part of the Franciscans, whose other name is the "Olivetans".

Now of course comes the 112th, the pope to end it all. He is said to be "Peter the Roman". After him, or maybe we should say at the end of him, the city on the seven hills will be destroyed and the Vatican will disappear with it. He ascends during a period of persecution against the Roman church, to boot.

Now before going out to buy an underground shelter, please note that the verses, which are not even considered real by the Vatican, since the Catholic church shuns all writings that deal with prophetic or magic revelations, show a number of inconsistencies that leads historian to believe that they might be a forgery.  One of the most blatant is the fact that no mention of it was made for nearly four centuries, only to surface in the 16th century by some erstwhile candidate to the papacy to bolster his bid. 

But think for a moment about the implications of such prophecy: its impact would last the entire 'last' pope's tenure, thereby dragging on for an entire generation, as far as the average papacy goes.  That's enough to rattle the 'credents' for a few decades (any phonetic resemblance to an insulting word is purely coincidental, etc etc...).

For all of those who wish to embrace this newest terror of a prophecy, we offer a small reminder: the chances of getting a 'Peter' are not that great.  As a matter of fact the only Peter who is a possible candidate is a Ghanian cardinal, who according to most, does not even have a good chance to succeed. 

But his election could add new fodder to the conspiratorial fobs, since Nostradamus also spoke of a 'young red black one' as the last pope, or as the pope who serves before the end; either way we're not sure which.

Since no one can assume the name Peter during his papacy, it remains to be seen who is picked and how well he suits the role of the doomsday pope.  The rest of course is up to the believers.
