The Papal Apocalypse!

[karl]

Doomsday fanatics claim next pontiff will be the last according to 12th century Prophecy of the Popes

Doomsday fanatics claim that a 12th century prophecy states the successor to Benedict XVI will be the last pope before the end of the world.
After the Mayan 2012 prophecies failed to materialise, apocalypse aficionados have turned their attention to the purported writings of St Malachy, an Irish saint and Archbishop of Armagh, who lived between 1094 and 1148.
St Malachy is said to have travelled to Rome in 1139, where he experienced a vision of future popes, writing down a series of 112 cryptic phrases that described each one in turn.

This sounds like a load of rubbish. OH, they forgot to mention this apocalypse several months or years earlier did they?

Stupid fanatics.

[Lost in the Echo]

More apocalypse bullshit? What the fuck.
Nobody truly knows when, or even if, the world will end. I wish these crazy fuckers would stop spreading bullshit like this.

Sorry for ranting, but this shit pisses me off. :mad:

[HowlingSnail]

So why is it that I've never heard of this before? You'd think something like this would be common knowledge.

[Jess]

What rubbish. Why do people want to predict the date of the end of the world? Can't you just live life? Sheesh.

[Silicate Wielder]

What rubbish. Why do people want to predict the date of the end of the world? Can't you just live life? Sheesh.

theres a theory that we as humans want to start over so we can fix out mistakes.

[Cicero]

The Catholics probably aren't the ones making this up. It's probably people outside of the church making this up, like it always has been.

[PinkFloyd]

I'm so sick of these end of the world bullshit stories crazy religious people talk about! :mad: When I say "crazy" I mean the small amount of religious people that are messed up like that; not all.

[Abyssal Echo]

I'm so tired of all these fanatics running their mouths about the end of the world. it aint nothing but a bunch of bull shit

[Twilly F. Sniper]

This is rubbish.

[Sir Suomi]

At this rate, I'm almost wishing for it to happen, just so everyone shuts up about it -_-

We talked about this in class. Pretty much, the guy who wrote all the stuff down is generally extremely vague and wrong. The weird thing about this one though is that, the one-line summary attached to the supposed "last pope" is "Peter the Turk". Strangely enough, the man considered most likely to be Pope, is known in his home country of Ghana as Peter the Turk. Kinda crazy.
