"By entrusting delicate government tasks to hierarchies that are made up mainly of non-Italians who are not resident in Rome, the pope is putting himself on a collision course with the Curia's traditional power," editorialist Ernesto Galli Della Loggia wrote in Italy's leading daily Corriere della Sera. "What seems to emerge is a plan to concentrate (power) not in Rome, but in his person," he said.
If you follow the Prophesy of the Popes, Pope Francis is the 112th Pope, which is the final pope that Saint Malachy predicted. His prediction for the 112th Pope states:
In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit ... Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End.It is believed by many that this final pope will be a false prophet... meaning he isn't a true pope. He doesn't follow the traditional rules of a pope and he ultimately helps to usher in the reign of the anti-Christ.
It's interesting to me how time has shown this Pope to march to the beat of his own drum, go against the traditions of the papacy and this article states that he's concentrating power moreso in himself and his position than in the power of Rome. I wonder if Saint Malachy was onto something?
