Prophecy of the Popes: The Last Shepherd of Rome

The Prophecy of the Popes, an alleged medieval prophecy attributed to St. Malachy that supposedly lists every pope from the 12th century to the final figure, "Petrus Romanus," whose reign is linked to the destruction of Rome and the End Times. While the prophecy has sparked centuries of fascination and fear, particularly surrounding the apocalyptic climax. Yet, the prophecy persists in popular belief, tapping into broader Catholic prophetic traditions, and the human desire for foreknowledge and meaning in the face of an uncertain future.
