RIP Francis

[Chiefsmom]

And then we have what Cayce saw:
While he did not explicitly mention a “last pope,” his visions align with St. Malachy’s prophecy of Petrus Romanus, the final pope who would oversee a time of great upheaval. Cayce foresaw a spiritual awakening where institutionalized religion would give way to direct divine experiences.

I'm not catholic, so no horse in the race.

But Francis always gave me a bad vibe.  Not sure why.

Who will succeed him?

That is up to the leadership of the Church to decide. Some of the internal politics looks bleak. If I was priest hearing the sins of a nation, would hurt my head too.

I was expecting the death of the latest pope would be like the day Micheal Aquino died, it is not. Something in this pope did try with the complexity of the situation.

There is going to be something lifted off the world with the passing of Francis. Something in due course. As for what comes next, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Everyone is overlooking the significance of Pope Francis dying on Easter Monday

Marking an opposing "anti-cycle" of the "Christ resurrection" ("Christ" meaning "Cycle")

This is because he is the final Pope of Pisces

His dying at the exact end of a celebration which marked the start of the Piscean cycle, means the "Fishermans" astronomical cycle has ended

The conclusion of the Piscean cycle marks the "passover" of the astronomical house of the Piscean fisherman, into the house of the Aquarian water-bearer

"When you find a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he enters"

The new Aeon of Aquarius the water-bearer has started

The Aeon of the fisherman has ended

The Church cannot continue in the Aquarian age, without producing an updated theology

This means new volumes on the compendium (a new, new Testament)

A Testament of works for the compendium needs be produced for each Aeon

In the same way they needed to produce the New Testament for Pisces, as an update to the Old Testament which was a compendium of the ages proceeding, Aries the Ram and Taurus the Bull (Torah)

But none of the Churches or religions possess these new teachings. Because none within the Churches were willing or interested in seeking the mysteries, or going through the processes required to receive them

They ignored the offers of the Illuminated rites that would have provided them the experiences to gain necessary understanding to write new works, because it was too hard and they thought they wouldn't need them

They thought they could get away with continuing into the new Aeon without them. But they are in for a rude shock

Most in the Church convinced themselves the purgatory offering of tribulation was some of type of evil, testing their faith

As a result, none of them were purified and there is now nobody within the Church qualified to update the compendium for the new age

This means, if they dare to appoint another Pope, regardless, it will be end disastrously for them and all involved

They have been warned about this and knew it was coming since 2012. It was part of the reason Francis took over

They have been told, and told, and told. Warned, and warned, and warned, very clearly, that there are certain things they need to do if they wish for the Church to continue into the new age of Aquarius

Changes that needed to be made that were not up for debate

So far, they have done none of it

Francis tried at the start, with the bank reforms and accepting gay people. But none of that they were told they needed to do ended to getting done

They have become, basically, the priests of Ba'al (Bible) challenging the order of the new Aeon

You watch what happens if they appoint a new pope

But Francis always gave me a bad vibe.  Not sure why.

Cuz' he was a bad pope who persecuted traditional Catholics, taught that which went against the faith, and was a far left anti-American politician from South America who hated borders and hated the free market system.

This is because he is the final Pope of Pisces...

We all can go Mad Max is an option. You want to go back to tribal law? I know the system ain't perfect, but when looking at the alternatives, better the devil you know.

Should the Vatican fall, its message wont overnight. If it does eventually, sucks to be humanity and what is left of it. You think this kind of cooperation can happen without it? It has not passed the test of time.

The prophecy of St Malachy goes:
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."

This isn't about the end of the world or even the judgement of God. It is about the end of the Church, and the one who is called Peter the Roman will just be the last Pope who oversees and deals with this end. 

From an article in the New York Post today,
Here are the top cardinals who could replace Pope Francis after the Conclave

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 70The Vatican’s Secretary of State Parolin, who is Italian, has some conservative positions, but also backed collaboration between the church and Communist China. He’s rated as having a “high chance” of being elected because of his global diplomatic experience.

Is the most likely to be chosen, but that doesn't mean that the church will choose him. They might try and avert St Malachy's Prophecy by choosing another person. Only time will tell what the church does this time around, but it does seem that Parolin will most likely be the pick here.

All this being said, it's a shame that Francis died, but at least he died after giving the Easterday Mass. That must have made him feel good at the time of death by knowing that he performed an important mass for the church's followers.

The Guardian has these three as top contenders.

Some of the potential contenders mooted before Francis’s death were Matteo Zuppi, a progressive Italian cardinal, Pietro Parolin, who serves as the Vatican’s secretary of state, and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, from the Philippines.

R.I.P. Francis

Not my favourite, so here's hoping for a new Pope that is worthy of the position.

Ok, so I had to search... that should be Cardinal Robert Sarah.

I didn't see his name in the article, and frankly, I never heard of him.

Supposedly Nostradamus may have predicted that the next pope will be black (or a darker skinned Latino?)

I can't find any reference to a future 'Latino' Pope in the article you posted.

From --> https://derechadiario.com.ar/us/argentin...ostradamus
 

The 16th-century French astrologer had already been cited after the resignation of Benedict XVI. But with the departure of Jorge Mario Bergoglio from the Vatican, the focus returns to his writings.

Some interpreters of his work claim that the papal sequence he predicted is coming to an end. "First, there will be a foreign Pope (Benedict XVI), then an old Pope (Francis), and finally, a Black Pope. With him, the end of the world."

The "Black Pope" and the conclave that reopens the myths
Although the term  "Black Pope" has been interpreted in various ways from a metaphor about the hidden power of the Jesuits to a racial reading.

 
If you have further information, it would be interesting to see the sources.
