St-Malachy could have been right so far and now this is as far as he could see.
I genuinely feel after the latest popes pasing we will see a fundimental change.I have no evidence to base this on just a gut feeling and feel it will be a change for the good even though it may be seen as a bad thing.
The church has seen suddenly the desire of 1.1 billion catholics to mourn the passing of the last pope .
How often does religion strike a note through the news to ordinary folk?
When a pope dies they all turn up to show there faith ,never turn up on a sunday but there for a televised funeral.but this does mean money on plates.
Dieing popes get bums on seats.
How old should the new guy be ohh yeah GOD wants a 78 year old.
not long before mo money on plates.
My faith is based on me and my relationship with God .no church,System or ritual is going to change that.i have faith! no colour of smoke is going to make me feel differently.
My childen are brought up as christians but i teach them to respect all faiths as we all have the same goals..

By the way St-Malachy did not actually name the 112 pope did he?I think i read it was the coming of the son of the lord ( which some say is JC)?
