St. Malachy

St. Malachy was a 12th-century Irish archbishop known for his prophetic predictions of future popes. He created a list, called the "Prophecy of the Popes," which describes each pope with a short Latin phrase or motto, suggesting they will reign until the end times. While some view his predictions as remarkable, many believe they are too vague or have been retroactively interpreted. His work remains a historical curiosity and part of Catholic tradition, inspiring both fascination and skepticism about the nature of prophecy and the future leadership of the Church.
