The sensational prediction was allegedly made by Cardinal Paolo Romeo, the archbishop of Palermo in Sicily, on a recent visit to China.
Cardinal Romeo reportedly made the startling prediction of the Pope's death during a trip to China in November 2011.
He seemed so sure of the fact that the people he spoke with, including Italian businessmen and Chinese representatives of the Catholic Church, were convinced that he was talking about an assassination attempt.
They were so alarmed by his remarks that they reported them back to the Vatican.
The extraordinary comments were written up in a top-secret report, dated Dec 30, 2011, and delivered to the Pope by a senior cardinal, Dario Castrillon Hoyos, a Colombian, in January.
The Vatican has reportedly opened an investigation into the claims.
The report was written in German, apparently to limit the number of people within the Vatican who would understand it if it was inadvertently leaked.
It warns of a "Mordkomplott" – death plot – against Benedict.

I've vaguely remember a prediction (also been posted here on ATS). Wasn't it something like the pope to follow up Benedictus will be the last pope of the Vatican? After which it crumbles into dust or we all get ruled by the Anti-Christ or something like that? I hear a church bell tolling somewhere anyway....

Who even still pays any attention to the popes? Just a foolish old man in a costume going around making fools believe that he is something other than an idiot.

What amaizes me is the fact that most of you guys jump in these threads with nothing to say but usless pratter.
How about sticking to the topic and adding something at least half assed intelligible instead of showing your childish IQ. Sorry to say guys.. That REALLY shows your lack of.. well.. Grey matter to show that you can at least be civil in a descussion with comments worth posting.
How sad... How silly... How useles...

They should never have put Emperor Palpetine on the throne in the first place.
All joking aside, I fully believe there is corruption at the Vatican. It is a place where men with power dwell. All the masonic symbols do nothing to reassure me either.
