The short, cryptic prophecies of St. Malachy, the Primate of Ireland, made circa 1140 while on a visit at Rome; about each Pope from his time till the End of Time--all based on visions he had at the time. From what we know of recent Popes, these prophecies are accurate, based on interior evidence alone. What is so very sobering is the fact there are only two Popes left after Pope John Paul II!
