The prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop of Armagh  who predicted all the popes have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there will be only one more pope after the current one, and during his reign comes the end of the world.

"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.

In 1139 then Archbishop Malchy went to Rome from Ireland to give an account of his affairs. While there he received a strange vision about the future that included the name of every pope, 112 in all from his time, who would rule until the end of time. We are now at the second last prophecy.

His predictions are taken very seriously .As one report states " In 1958, before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was "pastor et nautor", the motto attributed to the next Pope in the prophecies."

As for the prophecy concerning the 111th pope, Pope Benedict the prophecy says of him, "Gloria Olivae," which means "the glory of the Olive."

The Order of Saint Benedict is also known as the Olivetans which many claim makes Malachy's prophecies correct. The next and final pope then should be "Peter Romanus"

St. Malachy gave an account of his visions to Pope Innocent II to but the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590.

Many of the prophecies are spot on. For example, the one about Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose); he was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figured a fleur-de-lis;

Pope John Paul 11 is De labore Solis meaning "of the eclipse of the sun", Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse.

Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his many journeys to new lands.

So is Benedict the second last pope? The Irish seer of the 12th century has said it will be so. Time will tell

i don't place St. Malachi's prophecies on the same par as the Word of God, but from his track record, I think that his predictions are quite credible. My first question would be, "Why is Benedict SXVI the second to the last Pope?" Could the manner in which he has ineptly handled the Priest Pedophilia Crisis over the last 30 years or so, when he was Head of the Congregations for Doctrine/Faith be part of the reason? To express "Shame and Outrage," at this late date is more than a little incredulous, at least to Victims and Survivors of Clerical Abuse! Pope Benedict XVI not only helped to competently orchestrate the coverup from his desk as Head of the CDF, it now becomes apparent that he did so primarily for the purpose of "Protecting the Church from SCANDAL" and Protecting the Church's priests, archbishops, cardinals and assets! Great Coverup! Now are we truly going to believe the Pope's expressions of "Shame and Outrage?" It's a little late to make that statement!

so I don't think we need to worry so much about when the end of the world is coming as we do about how we live our lives on a day-to-day basis. May our work be God's work

Atheists don't like it when we talk God because it reminds them of how they have to change their lives in order to be of God; it takes great pains and great change and even suffering, not to mention acknowledgment that the individual is living badly and must change. It is easier for him to continue his wicked ways, his unbelief, his atheism or agnosticism. Sad individuals. . .

Yes, Benedict XVI is the next to the last, I believe. People with their unbelief and worldly ways have brought the prophecy to fruition . . .Just consider the millions of aborted human beings. . .it is hopeless while this continues to happen. . .
