St. Malachy’s prophetic list of Popes ends with number 112 (Peter the Roman). Numbers from 113 to 120 below are my suggested additions, based on my work studying and writing Roman Catholic eschatology for many years. In the custom of St. Malachy’s list, a prominent antipope is included, even though he will not be a valid Pope (n. 114 below). Number 118 and 119 each represent a set of valid successive Popes over a period of time, not two individual Popes.
111. St. Malachy: ‘from the glory of the olive’
Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger (reign: 2005 to 2011 or 2012)
112. St. Malachy: ‘Peter the Roman’
Pope Pius XIII, Cardinal Arinze (reign: 2011 or 2012 to 2013)
The great apostasy begins during his reign. He will be captured during World War 3 and die a martyr, blind, in a prison in Iraq. (Jer 39:7)
113. ‘Shepherd of scattered sheep’ (Zech 13:7)
This Pope is elected outside of Rome; he dies in Rome (reign: early 2013 to July of 2013). He is a valid Pope, despite his disputed election; he reigns during the great apostasy.
114. ‘The man that clings to me’ (Zech 13:7)
antipope Peter II, the most prominent antipope so far in the history of the Church (reign: early 2013 to July of 2013); he is leader of a schismatic Church (a result of the great apostasy). He calls himself Peter II, but he should be called Judas II.
115. ‘Shepherd of ewes’ (Rom 16:1)
This Pope ends the schism; his election is not disputed (reign: 2013 or 2014 to 2022) He presides over the one true Church during the time when the Protestant and Orthodox Churches repent (in the late 2010’s) and unite (in the early 2020’s) with the Roman Catholic Church. He authorizes the ordination of women deacons beginning in January of 2016.
116. ‘Prodigal son returned’ (Lk 15:22)
This Pope is a recent convert from Protestantism, and a member of one of the new branches of the Catholic Church, formed due to Unification. (reign: 2022 to 2029)
117. ‘Seal of the Living God’ (Rev 7:1-17)
Pope Raphael, Fr. Zlatko Sudac, is elected about the year 2029, during the great Ecumenical Council held from mid 2028 to late 2032; he dies in the 2040’s or 2050’s. He is the long-prophesied Angelic Shepherd, who works with the great Catholic monarch to defeat the Muslim extremists and to begin to rebuild the world after the first part of the tribulation. This Pope has the Seal of the Living God on his forehead.
118. ‘Angelic Shepherds’
This number represents several successive holy Popes. The next few Popes each have the Seal of the Living God and each take the name of a holy Angel as a Papal name (I don’t know in what order) — Pope Michael, Pope Gabriel, Pope Raphael II, etc.
119. ‘Inter-tribulation Popes’
This number represents many successive Popes, of varying degrees of holiness or sinfulness. After the last of the Angelic Shepherds, many more valid Popes are elected and reign over the next several generations. Some are holy; others are not so holy. These successive Popes reign during the time of increasing sinfulness in the world,
between the first and second parts of the tribulation.
120. ‘my faithful witness, Antipas’ (Rev 2:13)
This Pope takes the name ‘Pius’; he is the last true Pope before the Return of Jesus Christ; he is martyred in the year 2430 A.D. in the city of Rome. (reign: 2425 to 2430 A.D.)
No true Pope reigns over the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
during the entire nearly seven year reign of the Antichrist (2431 to 2437).
Jesus Christ returns in the year 2437 A.D.
