Pope Francis I – St. Malachy’s final pope?
 In St. Malachy’s prophecy, the final pope (and the 112th since his death) would be referred to as Petrus Romanus, or “Peter of Rome”. There is no obvious connection, but was is interesting is the fact that Francis I (the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina) is actually the son of ITALIAN parents.Time may reveal more in the next few weeks. Or, could it be the Church was fully aware of Malachy’s prophecies and intentionally steered away from a “Peter of Rome”? |
