It's very sad to read those news about the Pope. I'm from a catholic family though I'm not a great catholic. I disagree with many of their rules. But JP-II is a great guy, and I think the best Pope in the last times. He visited Peru twice and when I saw him, it was incredible how he could transmit peace and joy.
I remember when he was recently elected, I ws a young boy, I was reading a book about prophecies. And it mentioned the Prophecies of St. Malachy. It's a list of all the popes till the end of... the world? Rome? the catholic church? I don't know, you will read it.
But that book was edited in the mid 70s, and the prophecies are from the 12th Century. As every prophecy, it describes the future, in this case the popes with alegoric phrases, in latin. For example Pope #263 would be the "Pastor et Nauta" (pastor and marine).... And pope 263 was John XXIII who prior to his election he was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas
Pope N.264 "Flos florum" (flower of flowers).. and it was Paul VI, his arms displayed three lilies.
Pope 265 "De medietate Lunae" (of the half of the moon). The book I was reading (circa 1982, but the book was edited in the mid 70s) said maybe it was a pope from an arabian region, because of the half moon flags. But it was John Paul I, elected pope on august 26, his reign lasted about a month, from half a moon to the next half... AND I KNEW IT!! I figured out about the moon phases and was in shock! because that phophecy was from the 12th century. Yeah, I know prophecies may be very ambigous so it can be easy to find an explanation according to the fact, but I was in shock anyway!
Well, Pope 266 is "De labore Solis" (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labour of the sun), and is our dear John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. He also comes from behind the former Iron Curtain. He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun labouring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary). This explanation is according to a website I found. Well I'm not sure LABORE means eclipse in latin.
And the future? here is:
Pope 267 "Gloria olivae" (???? Theories are welcome)
And finally Pope 268: In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis ciuitas septicollis diruetur, & Iudex tremêdus iudicabit populum suum. Finis.
(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.)
In this case there is not a motto, but a complete descrption. Now, is that mean the end of the world? Rome? Or just the church or an era?
