The highest numbering ever reached by a catholic pope is 23 (XXIII). Two popes bore this figure:
•
Antipope John XXIII (Papacy: 1410-1415). The so called antipopes were the Popes who
opossed the Roman claimants during the
Western Schism, where two lines of popes (Avignon’s
and Rome’s) claimed the papacy. This pope belonged to a lesser-known third line of claimants from Pisa, and despite he himself being an antipope, he
called the Council that ended the schism. His reign lasted exactly 5 years and 4 days, which is a reference to 1054, the year in which the much more
important
East-West Schism took place.
•
Pope John XXIII (Papacy: 1958-1963). He called the historic
Second Vatican Council that renewed the Catholic Church.
Although the numbering of the popes named John reached 23, there were only 21 popes with this name. This is due a couple of errors in the
counting of the popes named this way. In one of these errors the name John XX was skipped
because John XXI counted John XIV twice, a hard to believe mistake.
Finally, the name of this popes is not coincidental, let’s remember that the Book of Revelation, called Apocalypse of Saint John in the catholic
Bible, was written by a mysterious author called John of Patmos.
In conclusion, it is my opinion this is the real Prophecy of the Popes, whose name was announced, mixed with disinformation, in the one published
in 1595 and attributed to Saint Malachy. The number 20 (XX) was skipped not by chance,
but because it symbolizes the 20th century, because this century represents what the reactionaries most hate: the emancipation of the working class,
exemplified by the Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese revolutions. That’s why they (the conspirators) have created or magnified everything that has
gone wrong in the last 150/200 years: To be able to tell the story, after the end of the 5th phase, that the 20th century was a time of painful
suffering, when in fact they produced the vast majority of this suffering.
