St. Malachy: Animal rurale

[RandomGuy11027]

Hi. I was reading the article on wikipedia about the Pope Prophecies and I think I just realized why Pope Benedict XIV had the motto “Animal rurale”, country animal.

Before the election he said (also according to wikipedia): “If you wish to elect a saint, choose Gotti; a statesman, Aldrovandi; a donkey, elect me”. And they elected the donkey, the country animal.

That’s how I think it’s connected, but wikipedia doesn’t say anything about it. And, wikipedia definitely not being the place for original research, I did not wan to mention it there. I did, however want to share my idea with someone, so I decided to post here

The so-called prophecies of St Malachy are a hoax and were not written by the saint but appeared a while after his death.
