Misinterpreting Papal Prophecies...

The papal prophecies of St. Malachy are being horribly misinterpreted. Let's examine the last two popes for instance. If you examine carefully, the prophecies are not hints as to where the next popes will come from, but have shown more to be what the legacy of the popes would be.

John Paul I - Malachy supposedly wrote of JP I as "Of the Half Moon". His reign only lasted half of a moon.


John Paul II - "The Labour of the Sun". He's called that because he was the most travelled pope in history. Why would he be called the sun? The sun travels all over the earth. That's its job.


Now to consider the next pope - "Glory of the Olive". What is the olive the international symbol of? Peace. This next pope will either unite the catholic church in a way that has never been united or will extend it out to the rest of the world.

Or more probably, because he was born and buried on days with solar eclipses.

And many of the prophecies don't rely on a pope's legacy to identify them. Many are symbols or connections from their lives prior to becoming pope.
