What do you think of the Papal Prophecies, concerning the final end of the Roman Cath

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes#Petrus_Romanus

I think that it can't come soon enough.

God's universal (Catholic) Church will never end. They are forgeries.

That must be sort of awkward for the Catholic Church.

Hope you understand those are not the prophecies of any Pope.
They are the prophecies of a "St. Malachy."
Prophecies have never been understood until after they have been fulfilled.

Believe them ... or don't.

Nobody knows what's going to happen, except God.

Yeah, right.
Whatever
I think I'm going to get another cup of coffee.
Are there any donuts left?

The Catholic Church has not declared the Prophecies of St. Malachi as divinely inspired.

Some modern scholars even think they are a forgery.

With love in Christ.

St. Malachy (Bishop Malachy O'Morgair) [1094-1148]
was the appointed Archbishop of Armagh, to whom were attributed several miracles and a vision of the identity of the last 112 Popes (see Prophecy of the Popes). He was canonized by Pope Clement III, on July 6, 1199 because his vision was declared by the Catholic Church as divinely inspired.

Furthermore, the legitimacy of his vision of the last 112 popes was verified as historic in 1139 during his lifetime by no less than St. Bernard and Pope Innocent II who sought to hear the prophecies first hand for himself.

Of course, that will not stop Catholic Apologists who on all things except such matters seem so capable of quoting facts and history, but on these matters will claim serious misinformation such as the Catholic Church does not believe the prophecies to be divinely inspired and will even claim such horrible statements as "Some modern scholars even think they are a forgery".

Contrary to such deliberate misinformation the Catholic Church has always considered this to be one of the most reliable of all post apostolic prophecy and is why they are in terrible angst today.

Bernard of Clairvaux's biography of Malachy makes no mention of the prophecy, nor is it mentioned in any record prior to its 1595 publication. This has led to many, including the most recent editions of the Catholic Encyclopedia, to suggest that the prophecy is a late 16Th?century forgery. Some have suggested they were created by Nostradamus and credited to Saint Malachy so the purported seer would not be blamed for the destruction of the papacy. Supporters, such as author John Hogue, who wrote a popular book titled The Last Pope about the claims, generally argue that even if the author of the prophecies may be uncertain, the predictions made are still valid. There seems to be no indication that the papers were in fact a forgery except for the wild inaccuracies and reaching attributions of the later predictions when compared to earlier ones, assuming a 1580-1590 creation date.
