He's the 112 pope in the St. Malachy prophecy.

“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city (The Vatican) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.“

He's just a stand in as the end is nigh.

Taken from Irish Central

Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was "pastor et nautor," the motto attributed to the next Pope in the prophecies.

You know why the Roman's banned the Jews from prophesying?

Because the jews used prophecy as a means of making announcements of what they wanted to happen. And collectively they would act, in their own small part, even over generations, to make it happen.

And what do you know. A guy named (((spellman))), did what? Acted to fulfill the prophecy! Why? As a cynical powergrab. Certainly the church was subverted before then, but this was where the 'prophecy' took over, if not sooner. Either way we see the psychological operation of its pull on generations of the church's lay aristocracy.

Things don't happen out of mere miracles. They happen for explicit, defineable reasons. And in matters of politics, as all religion apparently is, such is also the case.

Even if it took 112 popes to do it.

The prophecies we follow, and lend faith to through our actions, are the destinies which God has offered to us. If we're all just pieces on the chess board, he only shows us the moves, the outcome of fulfilling prophecy. Because prophecy doesn't fulfill itself.

And I'll tell you what:

Malachy didn't write a prophecy. He wrote a manual. A manual to what?

A manual on how to destroy the church.
