St. Malachy is NOT the author of the OT book of Malachi. St. Malachy, an Irish bishop, was a 12th-century Catholic saint that predicted characteristics of the last 112 popes. (From the Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 edition) 'The most famous and best known prophecies about the popes are those attributed to St. Malachy. In 1139 he went to Rome to give an account of the affairs of his diocese to the pope, Innocent II, who promised him two palliums for the metropolitan Sees of Armagh and Cashel. While at Rome, he received (according to the Abbé Cucherat) the strange vision of the future wherein was unfolded before his mind the long list of illustrious pontiffs who were to rule the Church until the end of time. The same author tells us that St. Malachy gave his manuscript to Innocent II to console him in the midst of his tribulations, and that the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590 (Cucherat, "Proph. de la succession des papes", ch. xv). They were first published by Arnold de Wyon, and ever since there has been much discussion as to whether they are genuine predictions of St. Malachy or forgeries. The silence of 400 years on the part of so many learned authors who had written about the popes, and the silence of St. Bernard especially, who wrote the "Life of St. Malachy", is a strong argument against their authenticity, but it is not conclusive if we adopt Cucherat's theory that they were hidden in the Archives during those 400 years.'

Dear Brother Kalos, Although my powers of prognostication are not as well known as St. Malachy (I'm not even Irish), I nailed the recent selection of a Pope. Days before the white smoke rose, I very unequivocably declared to various and sundry acquaintances -- from whom I can gain validation -- that the next Pope would, indeed, be Roman Catholic. Now... for my next trick... pick a card... any card... :-) In Him, Doc |

Doc, If only some dissenting Catholics were as sharp a prognosticator as you. So many of them have nurtured the delusional hope that a "liberal" would be elected who would undo 2,000 years of doctrine. As if truth and doctrine is something that is voted on every so many years and holds a limited term of office. "Let's all believe in the Trinity until the next election." The news media and even some Catholic do not seem to understand the differnce between dicipline and doctrine. Celebacy in the priesthood is a Church discipline which can be changed. In fact in some of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church there are married priests, unlike in the predominant Latin Rite. Men as priests, on the other hand, is a doctrine, which can not and will not change. I am told one of those who hoped for a dramatic change had a vison in which afew questions were allowed. The first question was: "Will there ever be married priests?" God's answer: "Not in your lifetime. The second question: "Will there ever be women priests?" God's answer: " Not in my lifetime." No if those Cardinals could just learn how to do smoke signals correctly. Emmaus |

Hi, Emmaus! I think that the problem lies in that many have equated Scriptural Doctrine to social morality... the latter changes according to what is currently held as "progressive thought" ...even when indulging in principles as old as Sodom's and Gomorrah's! God Bless! Angel |
