Lots of fascinating info in this article from Tom Horn and Cris Putnam. We have the prophecy of Malachi Martin mentioned along with an Archbishop and possible papal candidate who was consecrated to the priesthood on June 29, 1963. That's the exact date Martin said "the enthronement of the archangel Lucifer" had occurred in the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Rome.
The second bit that's interesting here is that a Pope was elected twice, Cardinal Giuseppe Siri, in 1958 and 1963. And on both occasions he was pressured or forced out of accepting the position. This is quite amazing stuff, even for an institution that has a history of over 1,000 years of corruption. Are individuals being manuevered to bring about the false prophet (Rev. 13.11-17) who will assist the rise of the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast?
A third point of interest in this article is the idea that Satan is directly influencing the course of world events through secret societies. By directly, I mean just that. As Jesus called him "the prince [ruler] of this world" (John 12:31, 14:30, 2 Corinthians 4:4), this certainly falls within the realm of what scripture has to say about this topic.
Also more on the hidden secret of Fatima and the destruction of Rome. No matter what happens, it's time for believers to wake up. Watch and pray.
While
we disagree with Kramer’s interpretation of the book of Revelation, the idea
that a specific “person” was born and is now of the appropriate age to fulfill
the incarnation of St. Malachy’s Prophecy of the Popes and to produce the Man of
Sin, is without question. Kramer’s fear that “great powers may take a menacing
attitude to hinder the election of the logical and expected candidate” also
reverberates the sentiment of other priests, past and present, including
Cardinal Archbishop Paolo Romeo, the leader of Sicily’s Catholics, who made
headlines February 10, 2012 when the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano
(which is famous for breaking exclusives) published parts of a secret communique involving the Cardinal and a
criminal conspiracy to assassinate Pope Benedict XVI before the end of
2012.[xiii]
Evidently
at the center of the Mordkomplott (or
contract to kill the pope) was political machinations in Rome involving Vatican
Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, whose growing thirst for power
Benedict had come to hate according to the leaked document, and another Italian
now favored as successor by Benedict, Cardinal Angelo Scola, currently the
Archbishop of Milan. The contract against the pope and the prediction by
Cardinal Paola that was allegedly made in secret to his Italian and Chinese
business partners in Beijing concerning Benedict not living past the end of 2012
was apparently believed serious enough that somebody among Paola’s listeners
“suspected that he himself was involved in a specific plot to assassinate Pope
Benedict XVI. At least one of those present therefore reported the Cardinal’s
words to Rome, and a special report on the incident—complied by Cardinal Darío
Castrillón Hoyos and written in German in an attempt to stop it from being
leaked—was presented to the Pope on 30 December last year.” [xiv]
Was Benedict's decision to step down (which he did secretly and officially in
2012 right when we said he would but waited until 2013 to make public) made as a
result of pressure from those who had threatened his
life?

Dark Horses Appear
By Tom Horn & Cris Putnam
A few years
ago one could have thought with some certainty that Cardinal "Peter the Roman"
Bertone would be a shoo-in for Petrus Romanus. However, as we move into 2013,
cracks have appeared in the foundation of his sand castle, and not everybody in
the Curia—including former Pope Benedict XVI, himself—may be as eager to support
him as they once were.
As Pope Benedict stepped down like these authors
predicted he would, claims of mismanagement by Bertone have surfaced in Rome,
leaked from competing factions in the Church that are more than happy to seize
opportunity to cast aspersion on his leadership in order to elevate their own
standing among the College of Cardinals. This may include Archbishop Vigano,
whose personal letters to Pope Benedict and Cardinal Bertone concerning his
reassignment as Nuncio were partially broadcast by an Italian television news
program in January 2012. The letters, confirmed by the Vatican as authentic,
exposed a blistering relationship between himself and Bertone involving
political jockeying and financial deal making including charges of “corruption,
nepotism and cronyism linked to the awarding of contracts to contractors at
inflated prices.”[i] Most Vatican sources agree that an internal campaign involving
Machiavellian manipulation and maneuverings—what Phillip Pullella for Reuters called “a sort of ‘mutiny of the
monsignors’”[iii]—has been playing out behind the scenes against Bertone. The same
sources say “the rebels have the tacit backing of a former secretary of state,
Cardinal Angelo Sodano, an influential power-broker in his own right and a
veteran diplomat who served under the late Pope John Paul II for 15
years.”[iv] If Sodano truly is behind a campaign to undermine papal
possibilities for Bertone, suspicions deepen that something may be lingering
between Fátima cover-up conspirators Ratzinger, Bertone, and Sodano, as the
reader might recall Antonio Socci’s belief that when John Paul II decided to
release the Third Secret of Fátima, a power-struggle of sorts erupted in the
Vatican when future Pope Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger) wanted to release the
Secret in its entirety, but Cardinal Sodano, then Vatican Secretary of State,
opposed the idea. Whatever the case may be, the January 26, 2012 headline at The New York Times said it all:
“Transfer of Vatican Official Who Exposed Corruption Hints at Power
Struggle,”[v]
and echoed the fact that, just like in American
presidential politics, today’s rising star at the Vatican can all-to-soon become
crushed under the juggernaut of ambitious and motivated men if one does not
vigilantly maintain every bit as much cunning as their challengers. Other
dubious movements in Rome also verified a game was afoot.
This includes a hasty appointment on January 11, 2012, by Pope Benedict XVI of another Italian, Archbishop Lorenzo Baldisseri, as the new secretary of the Congregation for Bishops (the branch of the Roman Curia that oversees the selection of new bishops). Baldisseri is intriguing because his Principal Consecrator during his 1963 ordination was Bertone predecessor and Fátima deception accomplice, Cardinal Angelo Sodano. And Baldisseri’s ordination to priesthood occurred June 29, 1963, eight (8) days after Giovanni Montini (Pope Paul VI) was elected. This is interesting on two levels. First, the number eight (8) is associated with destiny, divinity, occult fertility rites, resurrection, and the incarnation of Jesus (888), as any Bishop of Rome knows. But more importantly, the exact date of Baldisseri’s ordination—June 29, 1963—is the very day on which Malachi Martin swore the “enthronement of the fallen Archangel Lucifer” took place in the Roman Catholic Citadel. This rituale, as Martin had called it, had two primary objectives: 1) to enthrone Lucifer as the true Prince over Rome; and 2) to assure the sorcerous inception and embodiment in flesh of that immaterial spirit into a priest was made, one who would later become Petrus Romanus.

In
his book, Windswept House, Martin
wrote:
The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel
Lucifer was effected within the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963; a
fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal
agents of this Ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that
the Time of the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take
the name of the Apostle Paul [Pope Paul VI]. That requirement—the signal that
the Availing Time had begun—had been accomplished just eight days before with
the election of the latest Peter-in-the-Line.[vi]
The big problem with Baldisseri is that he does not yet appear
papabile, so his role may be coincidental or that of a carrier collaborator, for
the mystery of the 1963 conclave, which began June 19 and ended June 21 with the
election of Pope Paul VI, carries a secret most in the public are completely
unaware of but that Malachi Martin most courageously took on. It is called in
investigative circles, “The Siri Thesis,” and involves whispered evidence that
Cardinal Giuseppe Siri of Genoa actually received the majority vote in both the
1958 and 1963 conclaves but under mysterious pressure (presumably from
Masonic influences) refused the papal office. When asked twenty years later if
in both conclaves he had initially been elected as pontiff, Siri responded, “I
am bound by the secret. This secret is horrible. I would have books to write
about the different conclaves. Very serious things have taken place. But I can
say nothing.”[vii] Malachi Martin wasn’t so silent. He claimed to be an eye-witness of
the 1963 Conclave and in his book, The
Keys of This Blood, said that Siri was in fact elected pope in both 1958 and
1963, but that his election was “set aside” because of “interference” by an
“emissary of an internationally based organization” (the Freemasons).[viii] Given that our bestselling book, Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is
Here, is based in part on the prophecy attributed to St. Malachy called
“The Prophecy of the Popes,” we would be remiss not to also point out how, in
1958, the inevitability of Siri’s election was believed so strongly that in
Italy, “the prophesy of Saint Malachy, describing Pius’ successor as ‘Shepherd
and Sailor’ [#107 in the Prophecy of the Popes] (Pastor et Nauta), was commonly
attributed to the illustrious Archbishop of Genoa [Siri]. The maritime city had
been his life-long home, where he was born the son of a dockworker. It was the
most important seaport in the country, and birthplace of Christopher Columbus. A
Genoan newspaper would write: ‘No one better than Siri could symbolize this
motto: he is a pastor of highest virtues, a captain of the ship, born and raised
on the sea.’”[ix]
So
how and for what purpose could the election of Siri have been set aside and
covered up so completely? William G. von Peters, Ph.D., explains in The Siri Thesis:
Most Catholics today, simply cannot comprehend why or how such a crime
could have been so successfully carried out almost undetected by the outside
world, with the active participation of high princes of the Church, over the
span of a generation, as alleged by the “Siri thesis”. Surely such a long,
drawn-out conspiracy would be beyond the ability of even the most evil of men.
But 130 years ago, Pope Pius IX explained that: “If one takes into consideration
the immense development which [the]…secret societies have attained; the length
of time they are persevering in their vigor; their furious aggressiveness; the
tenacity with which their members cling to the association and to the false
principles it professes; the persevering mutual cooperation of so many different
types of men in the promotion of evil; one can hardly deny that the SUPREME
ARCHITECT [the god of Freemasonry] of these associations (seeing that the cause
must be proportional to the effect) can be none other than he who in the sacred
writings is styled the PRINCE OF THE WORLD; and that Satan himself even by his
physical cooperation, directs and inspires at least the leaders of these bodies
physically cooperating with them.”[x]
Further
speculation about the Masonic plot originally spelled out in the Alta Vendita
does seem related to what went on in the 1958 and 1963 conclaves because it was
under these secret meetings when the popes were “elected” that would implement
the Second Vatican Council and its Vendita-like heretical decrees. Of course we
could cite once again a plethora of Church Fathers, Marian apparitions, and
Catholic seers down through time that had forecast these events as a pre-game
for the arrival of Petrus Romanus. Even Saint Francis of Assisi—one of the most
venerated religious figures in history—gathered his devotees shortly before his
death and prophesied that: “At the time of this tribulation a man, not
canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning,
will endeavor to draw many into error and death… Some preachers will keep
silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it…for
in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a
destroyer.”[xi]
As we were writing our book, the Vatican entered the Golden Anniversary of
Vatican II, a perfect time, Illuminati would say, to install Petrus Romanus and
to exact their revenge. But we are left, at least for the moment, with a
quandary as to which of the candidates we have discussed in this chapter (or
perhaps an as yet unidentified contender) will fulfill the dark augury of the
Prophecy of the Popes amidst a showdown that is set to occur among the College
of Cardinals inside the Sistine Chapel in the Palace of the Vatican during the
next few weeks. The unpleasant reality is that a conflict over who will become
Petrus Romanus is boiling beneath the surface, largely unknown to the public but
nevertheless foresaw by Catholic mystics such as Father Herman Bernard Kramer in
his work, “The Book of Destiny.” Note his frightening and strange interpretation
of the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation concerning “the great wonder”
mentioned in verse one. Father Kramer prophesied:
The “sign” in heaven is that of a woman with
child crying out in her travail and anguish of delivery. In that travail, she
gives birth to some definite “person” who is to RULE the Church with a rod of
iron (verse 5). It then points to a conflict waged within the Church to elect
one who was to “rule all nations” in the manner clearly stated. In accord with
the text this is unmistakably a PAPAL ELECTION, for only Christ and his Vicar
have the divine right to rule ALL NATIONS… But at this time the great powers may
take a menacing attitude to hinder the election of the logical and expected
candidate by threats of a general apostasy, assassination or imprisonment of
this candidate if elected.”[xii]
Whether
or not the threat whispered by Paola was actually formulated, the report
illustrates once again how efforts were being made by at least some members of
the College of Cardinals to align themselves as candidates for Petrus Romanus.
Besides Francis Arinze, Tarcisio Bertone, Peter Turkson, and Angelo Scola, last
year we rounded out our top ten candidates for the Final Pope in descending
order with Cardinals Gianfranco Ravasi, Leonardo Sandri, Ennio Antonelli,
Jean-Louis Tauran, Christoph Schönborn, and Marc Quellet.
Time
will tell if any of these are elected or if another candidate will become Petrus
Romanus, but with these in mind, a finishing thought each of these papal
contenders may want to consider is how many Catholics believe the
sixteenth-century seer Nostradamus was actually the author of “The Prophecy of
the Popes.” If that is so, the popular West African Cardinal Peter Turkson being
“young” in terms of electability at age sixty-three may have a way of coming
back around. The “dark horse” candidate Turkson—and his ideas for a one-world
financial and political authority housed in the United Nations—could become a
remarkable and unexpected fulfillment of both the Prophecy of the Popes and
Nostradamus’s prediction of an end-times “young black pope” who seizes control
of the Roman Hierarchy with the assistance of conspirators during times of
darkness and war. In Quatrain 6.25 Nostradamus wrote:
Through Mars adverse [a time of war] will be the monarchy
Of the great fisherman [the pope] in trouble ruinous
A young black red [a young black Cardinal] will seize the hierarchy
The predators acting on a foggy day
One
final thought for this entry...
Contemporaneous to the arrival of the False Prophet (Petrus Romanus?) is a
prophecy from what is widely considered the most important work of Jewish
Kabbalah, the Zohar, a collection of
books written in medieval Aramaic over seven hundred years ago containing
mystical commentary on the Pentateuch (five books of Moses, the Torah). In
addition to interpreting Scripture, the “Vaera” section (volume 3, section 34)
includes “The signs heralding Mashiach,” or “The coming of the Messiah.” The
fascinating date for “his” appearance is set in the Zohar in 2012-2013! Given the rejection of Jesus by
orthodox Jews as Messiah, Christians understand this “coming” would herald the
unveiling of Antichrist.
J.
R. Church of Prophecy in the News
called our office a couple years back and led us through verses 476–483 of this
part of the Zohar to point out what
nobody in the 2012 research community had written before—that the time of
Jacob’s trouble (the Great Tribulation, which some Catholic scholars say begins
with the election of Petrus Romanus) will commence according to this ancient
text in the year 2012-2013 when the “kings of the earth” gather in Rome,
possibly during a papal conclave, and are killed by fiery stones or missiles
from the sky.
The
prophecy in the Zohar, given by Jews hundreds of years separate from the
divination of “the last pope,” is amazing when compared with the Catholic
prediction. The final pope, “Peter the Roman,” whose reign ends in the
destruction of Rome, will assume authority during a time of great tribulation,
and then “the City of Seven Hills will be destroyed,
and the terrible and fearsome Judge will judge his people.” But Dr. Church
pointed out how in the Jewish Zohar, this vision of the destruction of Rome is
repeated, though one prophecy connects it to the coming of the False Prophet,
and the other, the Antichrist:
This ancient rabbinical dissertation claims that Rome
will be destroyed in the Jewish calendar year 5773, which, in our calendar
begins with the new moon of September 2012 and concludes a year later in
2013:
“In the year seventy-three [2012/2013] the kings of the world will
assemble in the great city of Rome, and
the Holy One will shower on them fire and hail and meteoric stones until they
are all destroyed, with the exception of those who will not yet have arrived
there.”
Is he hinting at the destruction of Mystery Babylon? He notes that not
all kings will be destroyed. Of those remaining, he says: “These will commence
anew to make other wars. From that time the Messiah will begin to declare
himself, and round him there will be gathered many nations and many hosts from
the uttermost ends of the earth.”[xv]
Thus
the false messiah (antichrist) was predicted in a seven-hundred-year-old Jewish
prophecy to appear in 2012-2013. Similarly, the nine-hundred-year-old Prophecy
of the Popes looks to be unfolding in parallel fashion to provide Petrus
Romanus--the Final Pope. It won't be long now before we know if these Jewish
sages were correct.
