    Apparently, in 1958, just before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River in an attempt to show he was the fufillment of a prophecy. What was the prophecy, who (supposedly) made the prophecy, and when was (again, supposedly) the prophecy made?

    Question #59997. Asked by JoshCaleb12.

    Prophecy of St. Malachy made 1139 AD shows that Cardinal Spellman was "pastor et nautor", the motto attibuted to the next Pope in the prophecies.

    Yup... The pope who was actually elected (John XXIII) and identified in the prophecy (which is controvertial, as it is argued that they are forgeries) as "Pastor et Nauta" (pastor and marine) was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas.

    This prophecy, according to some, suggests that Benedict XVI, the current Pope is the last Pope before the Pope of the tribulation. Although, even that is up for debate.

    An easy way to make a fast buck is to write a book claiming to understand an obscure prophecy and then to warn of some impending doom that has been predicted to be just around the corner.

    This is a very unusual, supernatural movie about the Archangel Gabriel, who had started a war in Heaven. He disliked the fact that God cared for humans more than angels, and as long as there was this war in Heaven, there were no souls to be had!
