The last of these prophecies concerns the end of the world and is as follows: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End." It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes will intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria olivoe. It merely says that he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as we please before "Peter the Roman". Cornelius a Lapide refers to this prophecy in his commentary "On the Gospel of St. John" (C. xvi) and "On the Apocalypse" (cc. xvii-xx), and he endeavours to calculate according to it the remaining years of time.

This is bullshitery in its finest form. If there are no more popes, why does that cause the world to end? Hm?
The old guy had probably been levied to build the Castle of Aaaargh by the french guards. THat's why he didn't finish his list.

You know... The Mayans believed the world will end on December 21, 2012. Predictions are exactly that... Predictions.

AFAIR the Mayans believed that the 6th World would emerge on that date. Hardly the end of the world. Maybe of the one as we know it. But I'll feel fine. ;)

Predictions are utterly stupid, they normally get 'furphillied' becuase there stupidly open ended, its like tv phyicsiss, bloody hell.
