Hi Everybody,
 
The prophecy of Saint Malachy certainly got me thinking, if for no other reason than because the guy has a seemingly perfect tract record for the past 111 popes.
 
The Bible says that the False Prophet will look like a lamb and will speak like a devil.  Many believe that the phrase "look like a lamb" probably means a religious figure and, therefore, suspect it means the pope.  I am keeping an open mind on that, but with the long history the Catholic Church has had with scandals, it could certainly be possible.
 
Pope Francis definitely got off to a humble start.  In fact, he really seems to be overdoing the "humble" act.  First he made world news by paying his hotel bill in person, then washing the feet of not only the poor, but also kissing them as well.  While riding in the Pope Mobile during a public procession he jumped off and ran up to a severely handicapped boy and was hugging and kissing him.  There have been a number of other similar examples since he was elected.  Perhaps the man truly is this humble.  I am not accusing him of deception, I am just saying that I am suspicious based on what I know of prophecy of the last days.  Maybe he is a truly good man and an example of what we should all be.  Time will tell.
 
I find it really odd that such a humble man would rise through the ranks of the Jesuits to become the pinnacle of the world's Catholics.  From what I have read, the Jesuits are about as fanatical as one could get.  The oath they have to swear makes me think the Jesuits are the Storm Trooper wing of the Catholic Church.  Perhaps Francis was only a lukewarm Jesuit, and really didn't believe in, or go along with, all of the fanaticism of the Jesuit oath.  But then again, how can anybody rise to the top of such an organization and only be lukewarm about what they swear an oath to believe in??
 
Is Pope Francis the symbol of the holiest human being on earth, or is he a devil in disguise?  An excellent question.  He certainly made a world class boo-boo when he declared that even non-believing atheists can find eternal salvation.  Isn't the holder of that office supposed to be "infallible??"  Also, wasn't one of the very first acts of Francis as pope to jump into a waiting car and drive to a shrine to Mary to pray to her and to, presumably, dedicate his reign as pope to her?
 
For a "lamb," this guy is off to a very bad start.  If Francis is the False Prophet and is already acting in an official capacity, then the last act of the play has already begun.  The end is now very close.  The rapture is even closer.
 
Just my thoughts,
