Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here

By: Thomas Horn, Cris D. Putnam

Narrated by: Treg Monty

For more than 800 years, scholars have pointed to the dark augury having to do with "the last Pope." The prophecy, taken from St. Malachy's 1595 "Prophecy of the Popes," is among a list of verses predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II to the final pope, "Peter the Roman," whose reign would end in the destruction of Rome. Tradition holds that Malachy had been called to Rome by Pope Innocent II, and while there, he experienced the vision of the future popes, including the last one, which he wrote down in a series of cryptic phrases.

According to the prophecy, the final pope (following Benedict XVI) was to be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman. The idea by some Catholics that the next pope on St. Malachy's list heralds the beginning of "great apostasy" followed by "great tribulation" sets the stage for the imminent unfolding of apocalyptic events, something many non-Catholics would agree with. This would give rise to a false prophet, who according to the book of Revelation, leads the world's religious communities into embracing Antichrist. In recent history, Catholic priests have been surprisingly outspoken on what they view to be inevitable danger rising as a result of secret satanic "Illuminati-Masonic" influences. These priests claim secret knowledge of a multinational power elite and occult hierarchy operating behind supranatural and global political machinations.

Among this secret society are sinister false Catholic infiltrators who understand that the Roman Catholic Church is indispensable for controlling future global elements in matters of church and state and the fulfillment of a diabolical plan they call "Alta Vendita," which is set to assume control of the papacy and help the False Prophet deceive the world into worshipping Antichrist. Catholic and evangelical scholars have dreaded this moment for centuries. Unfortunately, as listeners will learn, time for avoiding Peter the Roman just ran out...

*pope Benedict died 2 weeks ago. I needed to devour this tome

there is so much information here. I have the hard copy, but i wanted to devour it before the conclave starts.* Even though this is an older work it still holds water, as does every one of Tom's other seminal works.
*pope Benedict died 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry I wasted a credit on this blather

I'm not Catholic... but the author is incredibly (intellectually) dishonest. Particularly in the epilog. Absolute waste of time.
