The prophecies of Saint Malachy are so vague and general that they each could apply to many of the popes. Only in hindsight can we try and find a link to the pope being described and then it is often a tenuous connection. Many Protestants seem to place more importance on the prophecies than do most Catholics. They are of some interest but should be taken with a grain of salt.

Has anyone heard that the last Pope will name himself Peter ll?

A:Out of respect for the Apostle Peter, thought by Catholics to have been the first pope, no pope has ever adopted the name Peter II. It is considered unlikely that any future pope would ever choose the name Peter.The Prophecy of the Popes, a series of cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Roman Catholic popes, does mention a last pope, "Peter the Roman". The alleged prophecies were first published by Benedictine monk Fra Arnold de Wyon in 1595. He attributed the prophecies to Saint Malachy, the 12th‑century Irish Archbishop of Armagh. Given the very accurate description of popes up to 1590 and lack of accuracy after that year, historians generally conclude that the alleged prophecies were written shortly before they were published and have no prophetic value.

Will Peter Romano rule the Catholic Church during Armageddon?

Roman Catholic AnswerAccording to the prophecies of St. Malachy, Peter the Roman will be the last pope to rule the Church before the end of time. There are several important things to remember when looking at prophecy of this type: Jesus told us that even He doesn't know when the end will come, only the Father, further, He told us not to look for things like this. Also, the prophecies are all veiled in sympbolic language, they are not literal, you can usually only figure out how the symbolic language can be applied to a pope long after the event, which won't be much help after the end of the world! Finally, we don't even know if the prophecies are real or forgeries.
