Jovial,
Thanks for the info on another epic fail.
Wiki says in reference to Malachy's "prophecy",

"Given the very accurate description of popes up to 1590
and lack of accuracy after that year, historians generally
conclude that the alleged prophecies are a fabrication
written shortly before they were published.
The Roman Catholic Church also dismisses them as forgery.
The prophecies may have been created in an attempt to
suggest that Cardinal Girolamo Simoncelli's bid for the papacy
in the second conclave of 1590 was divinely ordained."

So it looks like it's not just a phony, but a very old phony "prophecy".

Another thing, since when do Christians put ANY credence in
Catholic mystics? What do we do next, start praying the rosary?
Even the Catholics themselves say this is hooey.

We, as Christians, ought to stick to the Word of God, and HIS
prophetic messages, and not waste our valuable time on nonsense.
