St. Malachy’s papal prognostications have nothing to do with the anti-christ, he simply lists two more popes after this one - Glory of the Olive and Peter the Roman.
The prophecy does not say that the last Pope is the Antichrist. This is a misinterpretation by people who may have never even read it.
Anyway why waste your time in what others say about the last Pope, when they don’t recognize him in the first place.
I don’t know what is going on here, plus your link didn’t lead me to a genuine web-site, nice one

Why don’t they make up their mind, either the Pope is a threat to other faiths, or he isn’t.
If he isn’t a threat, then he will go away like the old man you say he is, so if he is of no importance, then why do you place so much importance in him ?
Anyway regardless, the Catholic Church has stood for 2000 years, and regardless, of who is the figure head, Jesus Christ is still the driver.

That should be your first clue to run and not walk…away.
I would make of it that your “fellow Catholic” can no longer be described in those terms, since we don’t claim to have divine gifts and we know the popes are chosen by the Holy Spirit so cannot be the Antichrist. They may turn out to be sinners or mighty peculiar, (for reasons best known to the Holy Spirit, and he’s not telling) but they cannot teach other than the truth about matters of faith and morals, and they cannot be the Antichrist.A fellow Catholic who claims to have certain divine gifts told me that the next pope will be the Antichrist. Personally I don’t know what to make of this.
Anyone can make the same incredible claims. Just don’t take such claims seriously.A fellow Catholic who claims to have certain divine gifts told me that the next pope will be the Antichrist. Personally I don’t know what to make of this. The Catholic position, naturally, has always been that the the Antichrist would not be a religious figure but instead some political or social leader.
I’m not really good on end times, so I’ll stop there
It says what it always says; it offers individual comments on their reigns, their symbols of office which clearly will identify the man as part of the prophecy once his name is revealed. I repeat, it has no reference nor relevance to the antichrist.
The prophecy of St. Malachy simply gives us a listing of all the Popes from the year 1143 when Celestine II was elected, up the the last Pope, Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), after whom would come the Judgment. Each Pope was given a mystical description or title. For instance, Leo XIII (1878-1903) was known as* Lumen in Caelo* (Light of the Heavens); Pius X, Igni Ardent (Ardent fire); Pius XII(1939-58) was called Pastor Angelicus(The Angelic Shepherd); John Paul II was known as *De Labore Solis *(From the eclipse of the Sun). John Paul II is said to have been born during an eclipse. After the present Pope, the next one will be called Gloria Olivae(Glory of the Olives).
Interesting, I was raised with a rather different view of the prophecy.The prophecy of St. Malachy simply gives us a listing of all the Popes from the year 1143 when Celestine II was elected, up the the last Pope, Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), after whom would come the Judgment.

What is disputed by some is whether Gloria Olivae will be followed immediately by Petrus Romanus himself, or that there would be many intervening Popes before Petrus finally takes the chair.

I’m not doubting you at all, but I am curious to know what your source on thsi is because it sounds like interesting reason.What is disputed by some is whether Gloria Olivae will be followed immediately by Petrus Romanus himself, or that there would be many intervening Popes before Petrus finally takes the chair.

Malachy was a devout Catholic who loved his Church.
First of all, St. Malachy’s prophesy is not necisarily true to start with.
The whole prophecy is a dispute, but the reason for that statement is that, all popes named in the prophecy are numbered except Petrus Romanus. John Paul II is 110, and Gloria olivae is 111. Petrus Romanus has no number.
