The last Pope - John Hogue

Acording to the 12th-century St Malachy, only two popes remain before the Holy Church reaches its Apocalypse. John Hogue examines Malachy's life and prophecies, including an account of the fates of the Popes and 800 years of Catholic prophecy.

In 1139 St. Malachy set out from Ireland on a harrowing pilgrimage to Rome. On sighting the eternal city he fell to the ground and began murmuring Latin verses. Each signifying the future destiny of the popes. His words were suppressed for over three hundred years by the Vatican, yet to this day 90 percent of the saint's prophecies have come true, unfolding in chronological sequence.;And there remain predictions which have yet to unfold; for Malachy foresaw an end to the Roman Catholic Church and predicted the fates of the popes until Judgement Day. After John Paul II dies only two popes remain on the Doomsday list. will this forbidding prophetic coda of a Catholic apocalypse be fulfilled?;In this complete study of the prophecies in almost a hundred years, rogue scholar John Hogue presents an account of ht fates of the popes and eight hundred years of Catholic prophecy, including those of contemporaries such a s Nostradamus. His masterly work uncovers the truth about St. Malachy's prophecies and reveals their significance as an account of the papal progression which Vatican policy-makers have found too threatening to acknowledge.
