The Worthy Shepherd Prophecy

[zephyrinus]

*By about twelve years shall the millennium have passed when the resplendent mantle of legitimate power shall emerge from the shadows where it was being kept by the schism. And beyond harm from the one who is blocking the door of salvation, for his deceitful schism shall have come to an end. And the mass of the faithful shall attach itself to the worthy Shepherd, who shall extricate each one from error and restore to the Church its beauty. He shall renew it." *
Blessed Tomasuccio de Foligno

Thank you for being this up. I was about too.

I was thinking about this lately, whether it was a fraud or not. I don’t really understand it though. What schism? It’s all very strange to me. I’d love hearing people’s thoughts to this prophecy.

The prophecies concerning the Angelic Pope foretell the healing of the East/West schism.

…Forty years ago it was prophesied, and there have been many visions to the same effect, that there will be a pope in these times who will purify Canon Law and the Church of God from the sophistries and deceits of the jurists so that justice will reign over all without the rumbling of lawsuits. Because of the goodness, truth, and justice of this pope the Greeks will return to the obedience of the Roman Church, the greater part of the Tartars will be converted to the faith, and the Saracens will be destroyed. There will be one flock and one shepherd, as the prophet heard (John 10:16)…

The author’s research appears to suggest it is genuine:

An interesting prophecy connected to the year 2012 was supposedly made by a Franciscian monk named Bl. Tomasuccio de Foligno, who lived between the years 1319-1377. I’m still in the process of attempting to validate this prophecy, but so far there are several factors pointing to its authenticity. The prophecy is cited in a book called Miscellanea Francescana 1, edited by M. Faloci Pulignani, dating to 1886 - long before the prophetic significance of the year 2012 for the Meso-American cultures was discovered after the decipherment of the Mayan glyphs in the mid-20th century. This book in turn appears to base at least some of its information on a facsimile dating to the late 15th century called Legenda de’ Beati del Terzo Ordine Sancto Francisco, (ed L. Temperini, Rome: Editrice Franciscanum, 1996), which contains the Legenda of Bl. Tomasuccio de Foligno - as recorded by his companion and disciple Giusto della Rosa. Although I don’t have access to this particular book to confirm that the prophecy is actually included there, so would be grateful if anyone else out there can confirm this. Known as The Worthy Shepherd Prophecy, Bl. Tomasuccio’s vision is a variation of the Angelic Pope prophecies, which details how a future pontiff will heal the Church of schism following a time of turmoil

Oh, I see now. Thank you for clarifying. Could it be possible were leaving during that time? Wow, seems hard to believe almost!

I know about that website. I’ve read everything on it.

And here we are in 2013 and the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI will end on February 28 and a new pope will be chosen. This prophecy merits our attention and our prayers. We can only hope and pray that the next pope is, in fact, the “worthy shepherd” who restore unity to the Church, and perhaps usher in a new era of peace. We shall see!

I think the schism refers to the schism with the Orthodox. The final break with the Orthodox took place in 1054 A.D., three hundred years before this prophecy was revealed. The Eastern Schism is the only one that makes sense.

Yes, I believe this is worthy of prayerful consideration. The new millennium began on Jan. 1, 2001 and so 2001 + 12 = 2013. Considering the pope’s retirement, there’s ample reason to consider this. Coupled with St. Pius X’s prophecy - where a future pope would have “the same name” during the end times, let’s see if the new pope chooses “Pius XIII”. If St. Malachy’s prophecy is legitimate, this next pope would be the only opportunity. Posted Feb. 16,2013

 

[Genesis315]

The prophecy of Bl. Tommasuccio might come up a lot these days (it came up in another forum I participate in), so I did a little research into it.

This passage of the prophecy is from a pretty long poem which explains the schism in more detail. Earlier in the prophecy, there is a reference to the coming of a Pope from across the mountains who is actually an antipope, “false and not a Catholic true vicar of God.” *(L uno de oltramonte sera apostolicho falzo e non chactolicho de dio vero vicario.) He’s the schismatic being referenced. *

The other big issue is that the manuscripts differ on how many years after the millennium. Some say “dece” or ten (not twelve), but others say “quatro cento et dece” or 410—so it could be the year 1410 that is being referenced rather than 2010.

The latter actually makes the most sense as all the other details of the prophecy are tied together neatly in that time period. *The antipope referenced is Robert of Geneva (“Clement VII”) who came from across the mountains–he was from Geneva and he was elected by French Cardinals in opposition to the Italian, Urban VI—to start the Great Western Schism. *He tried to reside in Italy but the Italians opposed him (the prophecy says he fell “into the scorn of the Italian faithful”) and he fled to Avignon. *Finally, the Great Western Schism was ended between 1414 and 1418 (which is just passed 410 years after the millennium) at the Council of Constance, with the election of Martin V, who was accepted by all the faithful. *He helped restore order in the Church, especially in Rome, so much so that the Catholic Encyclopedia’s article on him actually says that after Martin’s work “practically a new Rome had risen from the ruins.”

Personally, I think this is a pretty impressive spot-on prophecy about the Great Western Schism, which happened right after Bl. Tommasuccio predicted it (he wrote this around 1348 and died in 1377; Clement VII was elected in 1378), rather than a vague and difficult to apply prophecy meant for our time. *
