Catholic prophecies without comment:
Frederick William Faber (died 1863): Antichrist…Many believe in a demonical incarnation—this will not be so—but he will be utterly possessed…His doctrine as apparent contradiction of no religion, yet a new religion…He
has an attending pontiff, so separating regal and prophetic office
(Edward. Prophecy for Today. Imprimatur + A.J. Willinger, Bishop of
Monterey-Fresno; Reprint: Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford (IL), 1984,
p. 87).
Anna-Katarina Emmerick(19th century): The
Church is in great danger…The Protestant doctrine and that of the
schismatic Greeks are to spread everywhere.
I now see that in this
place (Rome) the (Catholic) Church is being so cleverly undermined, that
there hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived.
They all work for the destruction, even the clergy. A great
destruction is now at hand…I saw that many pastors allowed themselves to
be taken up with ideas that were dangerous to the Church. They were
building a great, strange, and extravagant Church. Everyone was
admitted in it in order to be united and to have equal rights:
Evangelicals, Catholics, sects of every description. Such was to be the
new Church…I saw again a new and odd-looking Church which they were
trying to build. There was nothing holy about it… (Dupont Y.
Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), 1973, pp. 66, 71, 116)
Yves Dupont {writer interpreting A.
Emmerick}: They wanted to make a new Church, a Church of human
manufacture, but God had other designs…An anti-pope shall be set up in
Rome (Dupont, p. 116).
Oba Prophecy: It will come when the Church
authorities issue directives to support a new cult, when priests are
forbidden to celebrate in any other, when the highest positions in the
Church are given to perjurers and hypocrites, when only the renegades
are admitted to occupy those positions. (Dupont, p. 115)
Ted and Maureen Flynn (20th century):
Catholic prophecy warns us of severe problems facing the papacy in these
end times…chaos will be within our midst. An Antipope will seize papal
authority…It will be those who hold fast to the truths of the faith who
will be labeled as the perpetrators of this horrible schism, according
to some visionaries. (Flynn Ted and Maureen. The Thunder of Justice.
MaxKol Communications, Inc. Sterling (VA), 1993, p. 255)
Jeanne le Royer (d. 1798):
I see that when the Second Coming
of Christ approaches a bad priest will do much harm to the Church
(Culligan E. The Last World War and the End of Time. The book was
blessed by Pope Paul VI, 1966. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 128).
Bl. Anna-Maria Taigi (19th century)
: At the
end, he will have the gift of miracles (Birch DA. Trial, Tribulation
& Triumph: Before During and After Antichrist. Queenship Publishing
Company, Goleta (CA), 1996, pp. 362-363).
Saint Zenobius (died 285): Antichrist will work a thousand prodigies on earth. (Connor, p. 73)
Priest O’Connor (20th century?):
This final false prophet will be a bishop of the church and will lead all religions into becoming one. (The False Prophet. Living in the Final Generation.

Priest Paul Kramer (21st century): The errors of
Orthodoxy and of Protestantism will be embraced by that false church, it
will be an ecumenical church because the Anti-Pope will be recognized
by the world—
not by the faithful, but by the world—by the
secular world and the secular governments. (Kramer P. The Imminent
Chastisement for Not Fulfilling Our Lady’s Request. An edited transcript
of a speech given at the Ambassadors of Jesus and Mary Seminar in
Glendale, California.
Blessed Joachim (died 1202):
Towards the end of the world Antichrist will overthrow the Pope and usurp his See (Connor, p. 76).
St. Francis of Assisi (d. 1226): There will be an uncanonically elected pope who will cause a great Schism,
there will be divers thoughts preached which will cause many, even
those in the different orders, to doubt, yea even agree with those
heretics which will cause My order to divide, then will there be such
universal dissentions and persecutions that if these days were not
shortened even the elect would be lost (Culleton, p. 130).
Gregory the Great, Pope (d. 604): In those
days, near the end…an army of priests and two-thirds of the Christians
will join the Schism. (Culleton, R. Gerald. The Reign of Antichrist, p.
122)
Yves Dupont {reader and collector of
Catholic prophecies}: “prophecies are quite explicit about the election
of an anti-pope…Many prophecies predict an anti-pope and a schism”
(Dupont, pp. 34,60-61)
G. Rossi (1873): We must observe that St.
Malachy does not mention the last Pope as a distinct person from the
preceding one, whom he styles Glory of the Olive. He merely says,
“During the last persecution of the Church, Peter II, a Roman, shall
reign. He shall feed the flock in many tribulations, at the end of which
the City of the Seven Hills (Rome) will be destroyed, and the awful
Judge shall judge his people.” According to St. Malachy, then, only ten,
or at most eleven, popes remain to be in future more or less
legitimately elected. We say more or less legitimately elected,
because out of those future popes it is to be feared that one or two
will be unlawfully elected as anti-popes. (Rossi, p. 139)
Priest E. Sylvester Berry (20th century) As indicated by the resemblance to a lamb,
the prophet will probably set himself up in Rome as a sort of antipope during the vacancy of the papal throne . . .(Berry E.S. The Apocalypse of St. John. First published 1921.

Priest Herman Kramer (20th century): In
accord with the text this is unmistakably a PAPAL ELECTION . . . But at
this time the great powers may take a menacing attitude to hinder the
election of the logical and expected candidate by threats of a general
apostasy, assassination or imprisonment of this candidate if elected.
This would suppose an extremely hostile mind in the governments of
Europe towards the Church, because an extended interregnum in the papacy
is always disastrous and more so in a time of universal persecution. If
Satan would contrive to hinder a papal election, the Church would
suffer great travail … one…destined for the papacy at the time will
institute the needed reforms. A general council may decree the
reforms…The lax clergy at the time will extol the conditions then
existing…The dragon is a symbolic term for the evil world powers…They
will try to make the Church a “state church” everywhere. This is only
possible if they can subject the pope to their wills and compel him to
teach and rule as they direct. That would be literally devouring the
papacy. (Kramer H.B. L. The Book of Destiny, pp. 278,285).
Bishop Malachy (12th century): During the
persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit upon the throne,
Peter the Roman…the City of Seven Hills (Rome) will be utterly destroyed
(Culleton, R. Gerald. The Prophets and Our Times. Nihil Obstat: L.
Arvin. Imprimatur: Philip G. Scher, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno, November
15, 1941. Reprint 1974, TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 138).
As the Apostasy continues to spread, hatred for the Ten Commandments will intensify. See
