Apparently the Pope is still dead

Thanks for the update. I was just gonna go check.

That would be the prophecies of St. Malachy, who does not name the last pope as Satan, but says he will be taken in by the Anti-Christ and usher in the End Times.

St. Malachy

Perhaps the most famous prophecies about Popes allegedly come from St. Malachy O’Morgair, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland. While in Rome to visit Pope Innocent II in 1139, Malachy had a vision in which he gave specific clues about the identities of every Pope to follow Innocent II to the end of time! These prophecies were hidden away until they were finally published in 1590. There is still an ongoing debate as to whether they are genuine prophecies from St. Malachy or are forgeries. Either way, they seem to have an eerie accuracy.

For example, these were his names for the three most recent Popes we’ve had:

• Paul VI (1963-1978) he called Flos florum, which means “flower of flowers.” Paul VI’s coat of arms bore the image of three lilies.
• John Paul I (1978) was called De medietate Lunae, meaning “of the half of the moon.” John Paul reigned for about a month – from half a moon to the next half.
• John Paul II (1978-) he named as De labore Solis, or “from the labor of the sun.” John Paul II was born during a solar eclipse.

There are only two Popes named by St. Malachy after John Paul II. The first he names Gloria olivae. The second will be named Peter, and he may be the last Pope. Malachy’s prophecy about Peter says, “In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people.”

The end of the world?

Of COURSE I know what it is! I have spent the last 25 years listening to snippits of dialog from Python movies recited over and over. I think it started with the rabbit with teeth (Insert Universal Hand Symbol for mandables) or the "I'll turn you into a newt.........I got better" line, and it never stopped - ever. It is one of primary reasons I don't want to have anything to do with Python.

Really? Not even....Confuse A Cat ?

:D

Yes, even that - although this line was funny to me today "Startle-A-Thompson's Gazelle LTD."

Well, obviously you've never had a cat in need of a good confusing. Lucky girl. It's a sad thing, and a bit frightening as well. They just lay there, day after day, with no energy or ambition....In fact, I think Boris is in need of confusing. BB in a minute.

Okay- he's better.
Thank you Monty Python!;):p

I only WISH my cats would just sit there. They are waaaay too bouncy - except Lyra.


(Runs off to check on the Pope.)

You know, the man in the cat detector van says you need a license for your Boris. I just got one for my pet halibut. (I picked him out of thousands. I didn't like the others; they were all too flat.)

The looney detector van, you mean.
