Don't you love prophets ? Forget Nostradamus, ignore Thomas the Rhymer and shove your Mother Shipton, keep your eye on Malachy, the seer of Ireland



The next Pope, according to St. Malachy, will be "The Glory of the Olive."

This may refer to someone from the Order of Benedict which is also called the Olivetans.

Or it could merely pertain to a country where olives grow in profusion.

The Order of Benedict, however, has claimed that one of the final Popes will be from the Benedictan Order and he will lead the Catholic Church in a war against evil.

The final Pope, according to St. Malachy's prophecy, will be Petrus Romanus, or Peter of Rome. This is when the seven hills of the city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will take his place upon the bench.
