I have heard from the bishop at my church that the catholic church started with peter and it will end with peter. & today i heard in the news that one of the top future pope can be peter from brazil. Now my question is does this mean that we are closer to the end of humanity. That the time has come when everything in the bible is going to happen? I know that nobody knows not even the son of god, but isnt this like signs that we should prepare ourselves for the things that we are about to witness?
 
Jesus himself said no one knows the time that the world will end. Just live each day as if it were your last and live your life as morally as possible whether you live one more day or a hundred more years.
 
I wish posters would stop trying to second guess when the end of time is going to happen.

All of us only have today.
There is no guarantee that any of us will have the next heartbeat.

The end of time will occur for a lot of people this very day, unfortunately.
Those people will die today from old age, illness, accident, war, famine…

It doesn’t mean the end of the world for the rest of humanity however.

Seize the day and live today.
 
I must confess that I was a bit scared on Dec. 21 last year when some people thought the Mayans had predicted the end of the world. But it turned out not to be.

Regarding the new pope, isn’t he going to take a new name regardless of his first name?

I live my life day by day, trying to stay close to God, knowing that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. God will take care of us. Trust that.
 
Meh, *my *world could end tomorrow during my commute. If I’m waiting until now to be prepared for it I’m late to the party.

I also have never heard of this Papal prophecy thingy until now, but the list was published over 400 years after St Malachy’s death and is only accurate up until that time. It’s almost certainly a fake if you ask me.
 
I’m kind of ignoring all the news reports about the “top contenders”. The news has to justify themselves by reporting SOMETHING, even when nothing to report.

Even if it is true the the church with end with Peter, we don’t know how or when or which Peter we’re talking about. I figure, when the world ends and the rapture happens or the Lord calls me home before it happens, I’d better be ready. And by ready I mean regularly participating in all the sacraments to ensure my soul is as clean as it can be.

When the world was supposedly ending on Dec 21, I still had all my Christmas shopping done. Just in case. 👍 If the world did end, what does it matter to me on earth here?😉
 
If you live long enough you will “survive” many “end of the world” predictions. I can’t even begin to count all the predictions of our Lord’s return, the end of the world due to some calamity, mega-disasters, and more that I have heard during my life. Not one of them came true.

Ignore the rumor-mongers & enjoy your life. 😃

Altho I must admit I was amused by one failed predictor. He wrote a book called “88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988.” The next year he had to write a 2nd book explaining why Jesus would return in '89 instead. :rolleyes:

I totally agree! Scripture tells us we **will not know **the day nor the hour. Guessing isn’t going to do any good.
