Pope Francis’s death will result in a conclave to select the next pope.
A horrible disaster has been predicted by an alleged ancient prophecy that lists 112 popes from 1143 to the present day.
Isn’t that the true purpose of prophecy? Since it’s mostly a gloomy torrent of doomsaying, there are rarely any pleasant ones.
In relation to that, the Popes’ Prophecy predicts some dreadful events ahead, and a man named Peter will be held accountable for them all.
A monk named Arnold Wion uncovered this prophesy in the late 16th century and asserted that the Irish saint Malachy had written it in the 12th century.
Now that we have reached the end of the list, it contains 112 ambiguous sentences that are meant to hint at the identities of future popes.
The last prophesy states that the following will occur: “Peter the Roman will put his sheep through a lot of hardships. After these things are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people.” “The End.”
Rome, the “city of seven hills,” is suffering greatly as a result, and because it looks like the end is near, we would be wise to avoid choosing a pope called Peter.
However, certain people with that name are among the leading contenders to succeed the lately departed Pope Francis.
The three Peters vying for the top position in the Catholic church are Pietro Parolin of Italy, Peter Turkson of Ghana, and Péter Erdő of Hungary, according to The Guardian.
However, as his first name is a combination of “Peter” and “Baptist,” Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Italy might also be included.
Since none of these men are from Rome, you should be cautious about placing too much trust in prophecies, but if you’re searching for your “Peter the Roman,” it’s probably one of these.
Many academics have dismissed the Prophecy of the Popes, calling it ‘sort of a fraud’ because the prophecies abruptly stopped being accurate as soon as the manuscript was ‘found’.
According to experts, the monk who ‘discovered’ it most likely composed it to try to help his friend win the popeship in an impending election rather than as a prophesy from an Irish saint.
It was unsuccessful.
Scholars have also noted that this “Peter of Rome” nonsense is illogical because Pope Francis’ direct predecessor, Benedict XVI, was listed as pope number 111, thus Francis should be at the bottom of the list.
But Francis, the last person on the list, who wasn’t called Peter, didn’t take it for his papal name, and was from Argentina rather than Rome, is being passed over, so it’s truly impossible that he could be “Peter of Rome.”
In addition to the numerous incorrect predictions over the ages, the prophecy has already missed a pope. Now, some flimsy stretching is being used to make ambiguous statements made centuries ago seem prophetic.
