This has interested me for years. I used to admire the pope because I was baptized catholic and went to catholic school until 4th grade. I think I heard about the pope prophecy about 20 years ago.
Allow me to introduce myself again. I'm half Irish and my last name McInerney. Does anyone know a McInerney or have you heard the name? There was an author named Jay McInerney.
Back to the subject at hand. I am not a believer in the catholic teachings as the methodically kept the Bible from the common folk for centuries. The catholic church is a whore. I'm a Protestant Christian and a dispensationalist. I wish I was more astute regarding Ireland, normal life there and politics. I have trouble pronouncing all the last names over there. Oh, by the way, I'm from St. Louis MO, USA and I'm retired after selling auto parts for 31 years.
This topic may not be worthy of a thread but we can discuss it and other things as well.
Answer: St. Malachy, whose Gaelic name was Máel Máedóc, was born in Ireland in AD 1094. He became a Catholic priest and later the Archbishop of Armagh. Several miracles have been attributed to him, according to evidence investigated by the Roman Catholic Church. He was the first Irishman to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.
Malachy was an influential reformer within Irish Catholicism, bringing its liturgical practices into closer agreement with those of Rome. For his efforts, he was appointed legate for Ireland, but during his second trip to Rome, in 1148, he became ill and died on November 2.
Malachy is known today for a set of prophecies, purportedly written by him in 1139, concerning the future line of Popes. His list started with his contemporary, Pope Celestine III and continued through the next 112 Popes. The last Pope would be called Petrus Romanus (“Peter the Roman”), whose reign would end with Judgment Day. Malachy’s vision of the future included a brief, cryptic description of each Pope.
According to Catholic tradition, Malachy’s prophecy remained hidden until AD 1590, when it was first published. It has been a source of conjecture and controversy ever since. The prophecy has recently come into focus again because of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. According to Malachy’s reckoning, Pope Francis I will be the last.
