It is an alleged private revelation given to the medieval figure St. Malachy. The prophecy consists of a list of 112 short phrases — enigmatic mottoes in Latin that are supposed to represent the popes from St. Malachy’s time onward.
St. Malachy was the archbishop of Armagh, Ireland in the 1100s. Reportedly, he made a visit to Rome in which he had a vision of the future popes and wrote them down.
The next-to-last motto in the prophecy of the popes has been associated with Pope Benedict XVI. Since he is now at the end of his papacy, that would bring us to the last name in the prophecy of the popes, which many have taken to indicate the final pope at the end of the world.
