St. Malachy's Prophecy says that the last Pope is this coming Pope whose name will be Peter...

In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.

So if the next Pope is not a Peter the prophecy about the end times is false. However, if it is a Peter we shall have to wait and see. Testing times!


Sounds rather like the start of the Ronald Reagan days. When he was voted in a very large number of Christians around the world waited for the end of the world on the 666 basis.

We still wait.

It seems that's all that the christians do, make a prediction and then wait....I have a feeling that the group voting in the next pope will make sure that it isn't someone named peter. But then don't they change their names? If so, will he choose the name peter? hmmmm......

Exactly. Which name does the prophecy refer to - the first name or the chosen name as Pope. Is the papal name chosen, or given? What if the person is called Fred Peter but chooses to be called Peter and is known as Peter (ignoring the Fred bit because he doesn't like it) does that still count for the prophecy?

I'll just sit back and see :D

Were I elected Pope, I'd probably pick a papal name with Peter in it just to mess with people.

That probably explains why I'll never be elected to any major office.

The one chosen to be pope chooses his own name, if I remember correctly from some reading's I've done on that last two pope's. Remember that Peter was never a Jewish name. The ones called Peter's name was Shimon, meaning to listen, to hear. It's root is related to the word, Shema.

Perhaps, Shema what the Ruach is saying to the called out ones.?

Anyway, this resignation sure puts a twist in things. It almost brings to mind Angels and Demons, but there the Pope is poisoned by his own adopted son because of Papal policy, maybe there were threats within and Benedict thought it best to get out with his life? what little there may be left of it?

As far as being a friend to Israel, I think that is comparative, only to past relations.
I would only agree that they had a good relationship if the Vatican gave back the Menorah.

I also find this significant to happen during the 'Lent' season. I heard on the news that 1 Billion Catholics will be giving up things for Lent and pledging themselves to the New Pope. I don't know what to make of that, pledging themselves??? That sounds a bit ominous to me. Maybe I heard wrong, I don't know much about Lent, except that Catholics and others think that right before it starts you can participate in as much debauchery as you can and then be forgiven for it.

These thoughts come to mind

Hey, does anyone find it interesting that it was February 11th which is the same date as when Mussolini gave the Vatican back it's "political and diplomatic authority" on February 11th 1929 that this Pope chooses to resign?

Not really. History is full of these significant dates. Having said that, in Israel's case, there really is a day that stands out on regular occasions, for bad things to happen, sadly.

I wonder if the seagulll incident may have concerned him..

Pope’s Dove of Peace Attacked by Seagull of Irony
By Sorcha PollakJan. 29, 201326
The release of a white dove is a traditional symbol of peace and tranquility. Like the olive branch, and more recently the peace symbol, the white dove is recognized worldwide as an icon of hope, love and friendship. That is, until it almost gets eaten by a seagull.

Is there any prophcies in the catholic circles that involve the dove of peace?
