A resurfaced prediction by Nostradamus suggests Pope Francis may soon die, sparking speculation about the Catholic Church’s future direction.
The recent death of Pope Francis has sparked renewed interest in a prophecy by Nostradamus.
The 88-year-old Pope passed away on Easter Monday, April 21, after struggling with health issues for several months.
His passing has led to preparations for the election of a new Pope, which will take place after a period of mourning.
Details of Pope Francis’ funeral
The Vatican announced details about Pope Francis’ funeral, which is set for Saturday, April 26, at 9:00 AM UK time.
Many world leaders are expected to attend this significant event.
Unlike previous Popes, Francis requested to be buried in a single coffin at Rome’s Basilica of Saint Mary Major.
He made this wish known in 2022, feeling that he was nearing the end of his life.
Francis wished to depart from the traditional papal burial customs that involve three coffins beneath St. Peter’s Basilica.
His final request reflects his personal beliefs and desires for how he wanted to be remembered.
Nostradamus allegedly predicted the death of Pope Francis
Nostradamus, the French astrologer and seer, allegedly predicted the death of a “very old” Pope in his 1555 book, “Les Prophéties“.
According to Nostradamus, this event would weaken the Catholic Church.
He wrote that after the death of this Pope, a Roman would be elected who would also struggle to maintain the strength of the papacy.
In one of his famous quatrains, Nostradamus stated, “Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity,” he wrote.
This prediction has led many to speculate about the future of the Church and its leadership.
Nostradamus also foresaw the future of the Catholic Church
As the Vatican prepares for the conclave to elect a new Pope, questions arise about the future of the Catholic Church.
Many are wondering how the next leader will address the challenges facing the Church today.
Issues such as declining attendance, scandals, and the need for modernization are pressing concerns.
Nostradamus also hinted at a future scenario involving “a young man of dark skin” who would play a significant role in the Church’s future.
“A young man of dark skin with the help of the great king will deliver the purse to another of red colour,” read another prophetic passage.
This prophecy has led to discussions about diversity and representation within the Church leadership.
Many are mourning Pope Francis’ passing deeply.
Cardinal Kevin Ferrell released a statement following the Pope’s death, expressing deep sadness and gratitude for Francis’ life and service.
“At 7.35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father,” it began.
“His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church.
He taught us to live the Gospel with faith, courage, and love for the poor and marginalized.
“With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite, merciful love of God, One and Tribune.”
