If you've never heard of Saint Malachy, you're not alone. I suspect the greater majority of people on Earth are unfamiliar with this historical figure. Even so, within the Catholic faith, Malachy is most revered and quite well-known for a 12th-century document he penned/transcribed, called the 'Prophecy of the Popes.'
The story goes like this: Sometime after embarking on an eleven-month trip to the Vatican in the 1100s to meet with the pope, Malachy is said to have had a 'divine' vision in which was foretold the number of popes that would succeed the one at the time, on down the line until the last one mentioned in the vision: the 112th, listed as Petrus Romanus (translated from Latin as Peter the Roman).
Now, hold onto your hats. For if this religious document is legitimate then, as some present-day theologians and clergymen are saying, this prophecy of Malachy's ought to be of utmost concern to us, as it appears to point to our generation as living in the End Times!
Not surprisingly, the present Supreme Pontiff, Pope Francis (a.k.a. Jorge Mario Bergoglio), what with his term in office being counted as the 112th, is highlighted in the film. Hence the title: THE LAST POPE?
According to some commentators, Pope Francis is an asset of the globalists, a religious leader working in cahoots with the United Nations in calling for the need of a One World Order. He has even been accused of being a heretic and an impostor by those who believe his ordained cosmic role is to help usher in the Antichrist (system). That Bergoglio is the first Jesuit in history to occupy the title of Pope is for such ones a telling sign also, that all is not well with the RCC.
Although so-called prophecy-watchers are bound to like this, personally, the film was interesting enough but all the hype surrounding the 'Prophecy of the Popes' strikes me as nothing more than the stuff of church legend -- right up there in credibility with the quatrains of Nostradamus and fortune cookies. Just like these, said document of St. Malachy's contains lines of text, each one, of course, conveniently phrased in vague language for future readers to interpret as they see fit.
Listen, for example, to how Thomas Horn employs mental gymnastics in explaining how the previous pope, Joseph Ratzinger, fulfilled the identity of the 111th successor of Malachy's prophecy, described in this ancient document only as 'The Glory of the Olive.' An "astonishing" prediction, or simply an inventive interpretation?
Other interjectors besides Mr. Horn are heard from in this, each offering their own insightful analysis of the prophecy in question, with Santa Clause conspicuous by his absence.
