[quote:Anonymous Coward 871526:MV8yMTY3MjI5XzM2NjQzMzY0X0M2QjI4NjQx] First of all, the prophecies never actually NAMED the pope. For example, Pope Benedict's coat of arms contained olive branches, and nobody I know had a problem that this was a connection to the prophecy of "Glory of the Olives." Furthermore, Pope John Paul II was born and buried during a solar eclipse, thus seeming to fulfill the prophecy of "From the labour of the sun." Interesting note: the final "proof" or evidence of his fitting the prophecy did not occur until AFTER he was dead. In other words, only in retrospect after his papacy did the fulfillment seem to be solidified. So Pope Francis was named after Francis di Assisi di Pietro di Bernardone. Additionally his dad, Mauro Gambetti, is from Italy (Roman) and was an immigrant to Argentina. So there IS a possible link and again, a more obvious link may surface as his papacy advances in time. Also, I do not think that an overt sign such as him taking the actual name of "Pope Peter" would be consistent with the supposed fulfillments of the previous popes. The previous prophecies merely described the next pope in an ambiguous way and this is not any different now. But there is one thing I DO know for sure. Regardless of the validity or non-validity of any extra-Binlical sources, we are OBVIOUSLY close to the soon return of our Savior. The BIBLICAL and may I add infallible signs are all around us. Israel is a powder keg and is the center of the world's attention. Be encouraged my brothers and sisters. We are going home SOON! [/quote]
