Pope Petrus Romanus
Well, old Saint Malachy (the first Irish saint to be canonized by Pope
Clement III in 1199) nailed it. He said that the present pope would come
from a place that was not yet named in Malachy's time and that he would
take his name from a famous person that had not yet been born in
Malachy's time. Yet he was able to identify him. How great was that!
Malachy (1094 - 2 November 1148) was an Irish saint and Archbishop of
Armagh, who had the apocalyptic vision of 112 Popes that we call the Prophecy of the Popes.
The Prophecy stated that there would be 112 Popes (actually 111 with the
112th being the last) and that the last Pope would be Peter the Roman
(Peter Romanus).
I know, I know - the Pope has taken the name Pope Francis, but all the names given by Malachy were symbolic codes.
The last ten popes were referred to by him as:
1. The Burning Fire. PIUS X. 1903-1914.
2. Religion Laid Waste (Religio Depopulata). BENEDICT XV. 1914-1922.
3. Unshaken Faith. PIUS XI. 1922-1939.
4. An Angelic Shepherd. PIUS XII. 1939-1958.
5. Pastor and Mariner. JOHN XXIII. 1958-1963.
6. Flower of Flowers. "Flos Florum" PAUL VI. 1963-1978.
7. Of the Half Moon. "De Medietate Lanae," or "from the half moon" JOHN PAUL I. 1978-1978.
8. The Labor of the Son. "De Medietate Lunae" JOHN PAUL II. 1978-2005
9. The Glory of the Olive. Pope Benedict XVI (2005-2013)
10. Peter Romanus. Pope Francis (2013) Jorge Mario Bergoglio; is the 266th and current pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

To understand the amazing manner in which each of the first nine of the
above pope's title is derived you can go to any one of many YouTubes, or
Internet web pages, such as: Prophecies about the Popes.
The 112th prophesy states: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman
Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, 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."
I know, I know, there are endless controversies about the prophecies.
Some believe and many don't. They have been attributed to Nostradamus,
for example, but I find Malachy's much more compelling than the
Nostradamus quatrains. Those too were put in symbolic terms - but then
their order was scrambled. The Prophecy of the Popes is in correct
numerical order and MOST IMPORTANTLY we have had them for hundreds of
years. In fact there are extant printed copies that go back hundreds of
years to the time of the printing press.
One of the controversies about the prophecies is that the one's before
the time of the first printing appear to be more accurate. Well, duh! At
the time of the first printing the editors could see the history and
relate to each pope the prophecy given about him. Understanding what was
predicted was much more difficult. THAT will be the current
controversy.
Given the very accurate description of popes up to 1590 (in the earliest
printed manuscripts) and lack of accuracy after that year, Catholic
historians generally conclude that the prophecies are a fabrication
written shortly before they were published. The Roman Catholic Church
also dismisses them as forgery. So you pays your money and you make your
choice.
The only way present skeptics would accept the current prophecy is if Malachy had stated:
"The 112th Pope will take the name of a very famous individual who has
not been born or named yet but that famous person will be Francesco di
Pietro di Bernardone (the Frenchman of Peter of Bernardone)."
Indeed, that very famous individual had not yet been born, (Malchy died
in 1148 and Saint Francis of Assisi - the 'Frenchman of Peter' was not
born until at least 30 years later) so it is no wonder that Malachy
could not provide the exact name of Francesco (or Francis) which derives
from the term Frenchman AND it is amazing enough that he could refer to
him by his inherited name of the Frenchman of Peter.
The skeptics would also have for the prophecy to be believable to them to continue that:
"The 112th Pope will come from a country which has not been named."
(Argentina was named when its Declaration of Independence was issued by
the Congress of Tucumán in 1816. Europeans first arrived in the region
with the 1502 voyage of Amerigo Vespucci, long after Malachy's time.)
However, the present Pope from Malachy's perspective would have been a
Roman, considering that we are talking about the Holy Roman Church and
that Rome is a part of Italy which is the singular place that Malachy
could name (as existing in his time) and that it was from where the
Pope's father came.
So the Pope is referred to as a Roman after his father's place of birth
and Peter after the heritage name of the yet unborn and unnamed famous
child (in Malachy's time) that Pope Francis would later choose. Hence,
Pope Francis is truly Pope Petrus Romanus.
Now, the Catholic Church has known for centuries about the Prophecy of
the Popes, and certainly Pope Francis knew of the prophecy, so Pope
Peter Romanus would, as all popes have been cautioned to do, try to
select a name that would in no way reflect Malachy's prediction.
But that is the nature of destiny. One can't avoid it. The old saying -
"If I knew where I was going to die, I would never go near the place."
And the story of the day that Death was walking upon the earth and
visited the Court of the King. A servant of the king came to the king
and pleaded for a fast horse so that he could flee because of the way
that Death had looked upon him.
The king said later to Death, "Why did you frighten my servant in that
way?" To which Death replied, "I didn't mean to but I was just surprised
to see him here because I have an appointment with him tonight in a
distant city."
You just can't avoid fate.
Oh, yes, I do construct elaborate explanations - but if it had been
obvious before hand - no one would have permitted Pope Francis to select
that name. Whether or not he is the last pope - remains to be seen.
The Catholic Church has a great many prophecies about the time of the end. To mention just two more you might check out
the Fatima Prophecies and the prophecy of Pope Pius X.
Anyway, fitting to end one more time with the Prophecy of Malachy:
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign
Petrus Romanus, 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."
Peace and love,
