The St. Malachy prophecy (fake?)

they see all is a bright ray of sunshine! The end is coming very soon!

thank you...

BTW...

the mayans said it, the church said it and many others say that the world will end soon...

it is safe to say that in about 20-30 years the world will end...

also...

the world does not "end" in revelations...

Jesus finally comes (after anti-christ and many other things) and sets up 1000 years of peace...

it should be noted that in bible language, 1000 years = eternity...

it is a "mystical" number...

Does the Roman Catholic Church have an official position on these prophecies? (sorry if it was said and I missed it)

this is a good question...

i do not know the answer though...

the only thing i know is that the Church believed that the "secrets of fatima" were TRUE...

i also know that there is a picture of every single pope until pope john paul II in the vatican...

after pope john paul II, there are two empty frames left...

the Church MUST think that these prophecies are true...

the Church did back then...

why not now???

On these specific prophecies, Im not sure. I was born & raised Catholic. The main view on "visions" and all that jazz, was that if you had one you were obviously evil......that or you are making it up.

Well when I was older I went to the priest about my dreams, due to my past dreams comming true, I felt they were visions I needed to share. Anyway, he sent me to this nun who informed me that they have groups of people (nuns, priests... whatever) who have been studing up on visions and have been trying for several decades to have visions. We spoke a bit more on the subject before I gathered my jaw up off the floor and said goodbye.

SO, when you mix prophecies and Catholicism I have to wonder if I should believe what they believe, or what they say they dont believe.

many people in the bible had visions...

either they were crazy or God exists and He sent them those visions...

also, satan can give people visions too...

Where can I see this??

BTW, have heard that the "Last Pope" Peter the Roman was added to the list in the 1800's, so Gloria Olivetti may be the last. One of the names I have heard discussed as the name he will take is Benedict XVI.

If he is the last Pope on the list dosn't that make him the devil?
Caution - the Devil comes as a Peace maker, and the olive branch is a peace symbol.

As far as the world ending, the Aztec calander runs out in 2012, (12-21-12)
I don't belive the world actually ends, I think it gets a new sight like a stage curtain going up.

As there are no mentions of Malachy's Prophecies prior to 1590 in any official or unofficial Church record, and as none of Malachy's contemporaries (including Bernard of Clairvaux, who wrote Malachy's biography and was his close friend) reference the document, and as the Benedictines were at the time of Arnold de Wyon's "discovery" were fighting for their survival (many of their monasteries had been sacked and their members killed during the wars of the Protestant Reformation) and a document that showed the Benedictines in a good light would have been a godsend to the embattled order, and as the manuscript has itself disappeared and only notes about its contents survive, most contemporary, responsible, reputable scholars believe the thing to be a fake from beginning to end.

Good info.

Could you provide a link for the "scholars" part? I'd like to see more about their views.
