    About this ebook

    NOW UPDATED FOR POPE FRANCIS

    For at least five centuries scholars have puzzled over a document known as The Papal Prophecies that were ascribed to St Malachy, an Irish cleric who died in 1148. The Prophecies clearly state that both Rome and the Papacy will be destroyed at some date in the early 21st century. Given that this date is now upon us, it is worth taking a closer look at the Papal Prophecies to decide what it is that they mean, what they can tell us and what - if anything - can be done about them.
    In this book, historian Oliver Hayes takes a fresh look at the centuries’ old mystery of the Papal Prophecies. He examines the Prophecies in detail, and investigates the circumstances around them. His conclusions are novel, startling and back by solid research.

      Foreword

      For at least five centuries scholars have puzzled over a document known as The Papal Prophecies that were ascribed to St Malachy, an Irish cleric who died in 1148. The Prophecies clearly state that both Rome and the Papacy will be destroyed at some date in the early 21st century. Given that this date is now upon us, it is worth taking a closer look at the Papal Prophecies to decide what it is that they mean, what they can tell us and what - if anything - can be done about them.

      The document that contains the Papal Prophecies is by turns accurate, mystical and obscure. Some experts have debated the precise meaning of the Latin in which it is written. There are sections where the Papal Prophecies do not accord with official papal history, though that does not necessarily mean that it is the Prophecies that are mistaken. There is room for doubt about some of the more obscure passages in the Prophecies.

      But one thing is startlingly and frightening clear. The prophecies are coming to an end. It is time to take notice.
