Saint Malachy Prophecy of the Popes

Rikki

High Priestess
The alleged prophecy was first published in 1595 by a Benedictine named Arnold Wion in his Lignum Vitæ, a history of the Benedictine order. He attributed it to ST Malachy, the 12th‑century archbishop of Armagh
. He explained that the prophecy had not, to his knowledge, ever been printed before, but that many were eager to see it. Wion includes both the alleged original prophecy, consisting of short, cryptic Latin phrases, as well as an interpretation applying the statements to historical popes up to Urban VII (pope for thirteen days in 1590), the list is accurate from 1143 to 1590 when the list was discovered. after 1590 well its hit and miss. there are 112 names listed mostly as coded mottos listing every pope to doomsday. for example, the 1st pope on the list is "From a castle of the Tiber" pope celestine II was born in a castle overlooking the Tiber. ech motto fits allegedly the pope in question. to determine if its hoax or not i will take a look at the last popes on the list and see how they fit our popes.
Blessed be

"Light in the sky" Pope Leo XIII 1878-1903
those who follow the list remark of the comet on Leo's coat of arms.

However, the motto says LIGHT not a star or comet. others say it's a reference to the dawn of electricity this also does not fit. as the moto states the light is in the sky. My husband mentioned that the airship flap happened during his reign. take your pick. I will call this one a miss. as you have to Strech to make it work.
Blessed be

"Burning fire" Pope Pius X (1903 1914) Proponents of the prophecies have attempted to link this motto to Pius X by interpreting it as a reference to his zeal. He did not wish to be pope. only after intense prayer did he accept. he lived a life of poverty. and humility. a traditionalist He resisted change in the church going so far as to excommunicate reform minded modernist priest. In his time as pope Pius was a quiet man the only zeal he displayed is resisting change in the church.

"Religion destroyed" Benedict XV (1914- 1922) World War 1 was a horrible destructive war. many churches and priest were killed. although no destructive dogma was issued the link to the 1st word war is enough to call this a hit.

"Intrepid faith" Pius XI (1922-1939) proponents of the prophecies have attempted to link this motto to Pius XI by interpreting it as a reference to his faith and actions during his pontificate: in 1937, the Pope strongly condemned Nazism and Communism. he spent much of his papacy speaking out against Hitler and Mussolini, but he never excommunicated them. the persecutions of Catholics in Germany seemed to spark this split between the Pope and Hitler. Pius accused the Nazi Government of sowing "fundamental hostility to Christ and His Church" and noted on the horizon the "threatening storm clouds" of religious wars of extermination over Germany. his inaction gave Hitler the green light on the final solution. As for the motto if you find anything that links Pius to "intrepid faith" please comment.
this is a big MISS

I believe Pope John Paul I used this prophecy to foresee Pinky Tuscadero's death from the dreaded Malachy Crunch before his own untimely demise.

"Angelic Shepard" Pius XII (1939-1958) those who believe the prophecy point to Pius's role in the holocaust. in 1942 the said durnig his christmas adress
"Mankind owes that vow to the numberless exiles whom the hurricane of war has torn from their native land and scattered in the land of the stranger; who can make their own the lament of the Prophet: "Our inheritance is turned to aliens; our house to strangers." Mankind owes that vow to the hundreds of thousands of persons who, without any fault on their part, sometimes only because of their nationality or race, have been consigned to death or slow extermination."
he quietly helped Jews escape persecution.
in the spring of 1943 Pirro Scavizzi, an Italian priest, told Pius that the murder of the Jews was "now total", even the elderly and infants were being destroyed "without mercy". Pius is reported to have broken down and wept uncontrollably.

Pius said to Father Scavizzi, "I have often considered excommunication, to castigate in the eyes of the entire world the fearful crime of genocide. But after much praying and many tears, I realize that my condemnation would not only fail to help the Jews, it might even worsen their situation ... No doubt a protest would gain me the praise and respect of the civilized world, but it would have submitted the poor Jews to an even worse persecution."
Pius did help during the war but never truly spoke out. and thus because of that silence I will call this one a miss perhaps a Shepard but hardly an angel

Flowers of flowers! a hit right? well maybe... see if Paul VI knew the prophecy. knew he was supposed to be flower of flowers. maybe he could have set up his coat of arms to fulfill the prophecy! I'm calling this one uncertain due to that fact.

"from the labor of the sun " John Paul II (1978 -2005) This pope is revered for good reason he tirelessly worked for an end of communism. even when young he was helping and caring. his work to save polish jews was extraordinary. his effort his labors were long no pope has more worthy of sainthood. the labor of the sun fits him perfectly.

and so the list ends with this bit of fun times:
In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills (rome) will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.

the best is indeed saved for last. no less than the end. and this time the pope is named. Peter the roman. or pope peter II I grew up catholic. I was taught NO pope would dare to take the name of the first apostle. the end of the church is foretold in this statement. the smiling cheerful Frances has nothing to do with Peter the roman. and so, this list ends but there is more prophecy to look into
Blessed Be

Where does the stuff about Peter the last Pope come from exactly? I know there is alot of deuterocanonical stuff with the Catholics, but I never got the impression that they held an eschatology that was specific down to naming names.

that last statement is the end of the list.
after 111 short one sentence mottos we have the doomsday statement

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills (Rome) will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge[a] will judge his people. The End
so, it goes from glory of the olive right to doomsday.
this is where i think the whole is a forgery.
because the last one simply does not fit it's like a second hand wrote the last statement OR leaves open the possibility of unlisted popes between "the glory of the olive" and the final pope, "Peter the Roman" and this is unique in that a name was given!
before it was a cryptic sentence.
the labor of the sun
the glory of the olive.
Pope Frances simply does not fit that last statement. if I tried to make it fit, I would fail. Out of respect for the Apostle Saint Peter, the first pope, no pope has ever adopted the name Peter II. It is considered unlikely that any future pope would choose the name. likening himself to Peter the apostle is the Hight of arrogance. there are two cardinals that are prime candidates to succeed Frances, Peter endo and Peter Turkson. both do not come from Rome. Turkson is black. Given the structure of the list the last statement is truly a forgery.
and thus, should be taken with a grain of salt.
Blessed be
