Malaquies

Malaquies, also known as Saint Malachy, was a 12th-century Irish saint and archbishop of Armagh, best known for his prophetic writings regarding the succession of popes. His most famous work, the 'Prophecy of the Popes,' presents a list of 112 popes, each accompanied by a cryptic phrase that is interpreted as a clue to their identity. This prophecy has intrigued scholars and the faithful alike, especially during periods of papal transition, as it suggests that the last pope, according to his predictions, will be 'Peter the Roman,' heralding the end times. His legacy continues to spark debate and speculation, particularly in light of recent papal resignations.
