The Reign of Benedict XVI

Par le trépas du très-viellard Pontife
Sera élu Romain de bon âge,
Qui sera dit que le siège débiffe,
Et long tiendra et de piquant ouvrage.

Century V, Quatrain 56

Through the death of the very old Pontiff (John Paul II in 2005),
A Roman of good age will be elected (Benedict XVI),
Of him it will be said that he weakens his Holy See,
But long will he sit and in bitter activity.

The Vatican Pillaged and Burned

Bien près du Tymbre presse la Libytine:
Un peu devant grande inondation:
Le chef du nef pris, mis à la sentine:
Château, palais en conflagration.

Century II, Quatrain 93

Very near the Tiber presses Labitina, the goddess of Death,
Shortly before will be great flooding (weather extremes),
The chief of the ship (the Pope, head of the Bark of St. Peter) taken, thrown before the mob,
Both the Castle (San Angelo) and Palace (St. Peter’s) in flames.

The Treasures of the Vatican Ransacked

En débats Prince et Chrétienté émue,
Gentils étranges, siège à CHRIST molesté:
Venu très mal, prou bien, mortelle vue,
Mort Orient peste, faim, mal traité.

Presage 83

Leaders of all Christendom (Europe) stirred up in controversy,
The Holy See of Christ (Vatican) ravaged by common people, strangers,
For some great evil, for others much good, for everyone a fatal vision fulfilled,
In the Far East and Middle East death, plague, famine, bad treaties (agreements broken with the West).

Timing of the Vatican Assault

Par Mars contraire sera la monarchie
Du grand pêcheur en trouble ruineux:
Jeune noir prendra la hiérarchie,
Les proditeurs iront jour bruineux.

Century VI, Quatrain 25

Mars in adversity (retrograde in Cancer),
(Residence) of the troubled great fisherman (St. Peter’s) will be in ruins,
By the young dark one who will seize the property of the (Church) hierarchy,
The conspirators will act on a day of drizzling rain.

Vatican looted and destroyed

Mars retrograde in Cancer:

September–November, 2024; November, 2039–February, 2040; November–December, 2054; December, 2071–February, 2072; November, 2086–January, 2087.

The Vatican Pillagers Eventually Made Accountable

Par le trépas du monarque Latin,
Ceux qu’il aura par regne secourus:
Le feu luira divisé le butin,
La mort publique aux hardis encourus.

Century V, Quatrain 21

After the death of the Latin Monarch (the Pope),
Those who had helped themselves to everything in his realm (Vatican City),
Who had lit the arson fires and divided the treasures among themselves,
Public execution for the bold thieves who had instigated it.

The Pope Forced to Leave Rome

La grande étoile par sept jours brûlera,
Nuée fera deux soleils apparoir:
Le gros mâtin toute nuit hurlera
Quand grand pontife changera de terroir.

Century II, Quatrain 41

The great star (comet? approaching celestial object?)) will burn for seven days,
The cloud will make two suns to appear (natural phenomenon or man-made?),
The great watch dog will howl all night (siren?),
When the great pontiff (Pope) will be forced to change country.

Pope Imprisoned, Then Led Captive

De POL MANSOL dans caverne caprine
Caché et pris extrait hors par la barbe:
Captif mené comme bête mâtine
Par begourdans amenées près de Tarbe.

Century X, Quatrain 29

The successor to (John) Paul the Great Celibate (Benedict XVI) kept captive underground,
Hidden and then released by the bearded one (or the barbaric mob),
Led captive like a chained dog (or led through a pack of dogs),
By the howling mob taken along the Tiber river (Rome).

Pope Held Prisoner for Five Months

En après cinq troupeau ne mettra hors,
Un fuytif pour Penelon lâchera:
Faux murmurer, secours venir par lors,
Le chef le siège lors abandonnera.

Century X, Quatrain 3

After five months the Head of the Flock (Pope or Shepherd of the Church) put out, expelled,
Let go, as a fugitive, he will flee in the direction of Penelon (anagram for Naples),
False rumors murmured, then help shall come,
The chief (Pope) will abandon the See (the Vatican).

Will it be Benedict XVI?

Pol mensolee mourra trios lieues du rosne,
Fuis les deux prochains tarase destrois:
Car Mars fera le plus horrible trône,
De Coq et d’Aigle de France frères trios.

Century VIII, Quatrain 46

The one who follows after (John) Paul the Great Celibate (Benedict XVI) will die three leagues (8 miles) from the Rhine (Benedict comes from Germany),
The two nearest him will have narrowly escaped with him,
When Mars (conflict) will make the most horrible rulership,
Both the Cockerel (French common people) and the Eagle (French government) troubled by the three brothers (America, Russia and China in competition with the EU).

Pope Following Elected Away from Rome

En navigant captif pris grand Pontife,
Grand après faillir les clercs tumultués:
Second élu absent son bien débiffe,
Son favori bâtard à mort roué.

Century V, Quatrain 15

Great Pontiff taken captive while navigating the ship (Bark of the Church, the Papacy),
The Great One (Pope) succeeding will fail the Clergy disastrously,
He will be elected while absent his ruined estate (the Vatican),
Where his favorite ministers will have been beaten to death.

The New Pope Deemed a Poor Choice

La grande pêche viendra plaindre, pleurer,
D’avoir élu, trompés seront en l’âge:
Guère avec eux ne voudra demeurer,
Déçu sera par ceux de son langage.

Century VII, Quatrain 35

The great fishery (Church) will come to complain and weep,
Over the choice it has made, deceived about his health,
He will want to remain with them little, and will travel far,
Plotted against by those of his own tongue (either Latin, or his native land).

A Plot to Murder the New Pope

Élu en Pape, d’élu sera moqué,
Subit soudain ému prompt et timide:
Par trop bon doux à mourir provoqué,
Crainte éteinte la nuit de sa mort guide.

Century X, Quatrain 12

Elected as Pope, he will be mocked by those who elected him,
Unexpected actions, sudden, prompt and timid,
With too much good nature, he will be murdered,
At night, fearless, he will face his death.

Conservative Cardinals Will Murder the Pope

A soutenir le grande cappe troublée,
Pour l’éclaircir les rouges marcheront:
De mort famille sera presque accablée,
Les rouges rouges le rouge assommeront.

Century VIII, Quatrain 19

(Unable) to uphold the great troubled Cloak (of the Pope),
To clear it up the reds (Cardinals) will be arrayed against him,
Their family (the Church) will be almost ruined by his death,
The red red ones (ultra-conservative Cardinals) will knock down the Red One (the Pope).

Conspiracy by Twelve Cardinals to Replace the Pope

Celui qu’aura gouvert de la grande cappe
Sera induit à quelques cas patrer:
Les douze rouges viendront souiller la nappe,
Sous meurtre, meurtre se viendra perpétrer.

Century IV, Quatrain 11

He who will have the government of the great Cloak (Papacy),
He will be pressured to perform several deeds,
Twelve ones (Cardinals) will come to stain the altar cloth (of the Mass),
Under murder, murder will come to be perpetrated.

New Pope Poisoned During Mass

Prélat royal son baissant trop tiré,
Grand flux de sang sortira par sa bouche:
Le regne Angélique par regne respié,
Longtemps mort vif en Tunis comme souche.

Century X, Quatrain 56

The Royal Priest (Pope) bowing low (during Mass),
A great flow of blood will come out of his mouth,
The Angelic realm (Church) believing itself saved from danger,
He will remain alive for a long time, then die, still wearing his Tunic.

Timing of the Papal Murder

Celui de sang resperse le visage
De la victime proche sacrifée:
Tonant en Leo, augure par présage:
Mis être à mort lors pour la fiancée.

Century II, Quatrain 98

The one whose face is splattered with blood,
Made a victim as he approaches to sacrifice (the Mass),
Jupiter in Leo, an omen to the presage,
He will be put to death by one promised (his rulership).

Violent death of the next Pope

Jupiter in Leo:

July–August, 2015; July, 2026–July, 2027; November, 2038; January–July, 2039; September, 2049–January, 2050; May–October, 2050; September, 2061–February, 2062; April–September, 2062; August, 2073–September, 2074; August, 2086; July, 2097–August, 2098.

Location of the Papal Murder

Romain Pontife garde de t’approcher
De la cité que deux fleuves arose,
Ton sang viendra aupès de là cracher,
Toi et les tiens quand fleurira la rose.

Century II, Quatrain 97

Roman Pontiff, beware of traveling near,
The city that two rivers flow through,
Near there your blood you will come to vomit,
You and yours, when afterward the Rose will flourish (in the spring, or the coming of a new Church leader who will take the Rose as his emblem).

Church Schism and Murder During the Next War

Seront ouïs au ciel les armes battre:
Celui au même les divins ennemis:
Voudront loix saintes injustement débattre:
Par foudre et guerre bien croyant à mort mis.

Century IV, Quatrain 43

Arms will be heard clashing in the sky (aerial warfare),
That very same year the Divine Ones (Cardinals) made enemies among themselves,
They will want unjustly to discuss the holy laws (Church doctrines),
When lightning (weather extremes) and war both come, the Complacent One (the Pope) put to death.

Murder of the Next Pope During the Next War

Du haut du mont Aventin voix ouïe,
Videz, videz de tous les deux côtés:
Du sang des rouges sera l’ire assomie,
D’arimin Prato, Columna debotez.

Century IX, Quatrain 2

From the top of Aventine Hill (Rome) a voice heard,
Be gone, be gone all of you on both sides,
The anger will be appeased only by the spilled blood of the Red One (the Pope),
From all portions (of Italy) his followers expelled.

Papacy Destroyed During the Next War

Mont Aventine brûler nuit sera vu:
Le ciel obscur tout à un coup en Flandres:
Quand le monarque chassera son neveu,
Leurs gens d’Eglise commettront les esclandres.

Century III, Quatrain 17

Mount Aventine (Rome) will be seen to burn at night,
At the same time dark forces will cover the sky above Flanders (the Netherlands),
When the Monarch (the Pope) will be chased out by his own people,
Following this, Church people will commit scandals (the overthrow of Papal authority).

Church Government Relocated to America

Joie non longue, abandonné des siens,
L’an pestilent, le plus Grand assailli:
La Dame bonne aux champs Elysiens,
Et la plupart des biens froid non cueilli.

Presage 61

Not too happy, he will be abandoned by his followers,
In the year disease strikes, the Sacred One (Pope) struck down,
The Holy Lady (Church) will be relocated in the Elysian Fields (Land of the West, America),
When the greater part of fruits left unpicked because of disease.

American Cardinals Will Receive the Rule of the Church

La soeur aînée de l’île Britannique
Quinze ans devant le frère aura naissance,
Par son promis moyennant verifique,
Succédera au regne de balance.

Century IV, Quatrain 96

The eldest daughter of the British Isle (America),
Born fifteen years before her brother (France, 1776–1791),
By promise a procurement verified,
She will succeed to the kingdom of the Balances (Libra, the Church).

The Office of the Papacy Will be Done Away With

Libra verra regner les Hesperies,
De ciel et terre tenir la monarchie:
D’Asie forces nul ne verra péries,
Que sept ne tiennent par rang la hiérarchie.

Century IV, Quatrain 50

Libra (the Church) will see the Hesperians (Americans) govern,
Holding the monarchy of heaven and earth (Papacy),
Not wanting to see the peoples of Asia perishing,
When seven will no longer hold rank in the Hierarchy (Seventh Order, the Papacy eliminated) (or only the Seven—Septentroinale, the North, America—will hold the power).

American Cardinals Involved in the Papal Changes

Par les déserts de lieu libre et farouche,
Viendra errer neveu du grand Pontife:
Assomé à sept avec lourde souche,
Par ceux qu’après occuperont le Cyphe.

Century VI, Quatrain 82

After Libra (the Church) has been desolated and abandoned,
And the successor of the Great Pontiff will wander far,
He will be struck down by those of Septentroinale (the North, America),
By those who will eventually possess the Chalice (of the Mass, Church power).

Timing of the Ending of Papal Power

Sept mois sans plus obtiendra prélature,
Par son décès grand schisme fera naître:
Sept mois tiendra un autre la prèture,
Près de Venise paix, union renaître.

Century VIII, Quatrain 93

For seven months, no more, he will hold the Prelacy (Papacy),
Causing a great schism before he finally dies,
Within seven months another (who is not Pope) will hold the governorship of the Church,
Near (to the Sun) will be Venus, peace and union in the Church (Libra) will arise again (or when the Sun and Venus are in Libra).

Papacy replaced by different rulership

Sun and Venus in Libra:

September–October of 2011, 2019, 2027, 2030, 2035, 2038, 2043, 2046, 2049, 2050, 2051, 2054, 2057, 2058, 2059, 2062, 2065, 2066, 2067, 2070, 2073, 2074, 2075, 2078, 2081, 2082, 2083, 2086, 2089, 2090, 2091, 2092, 2094, 2097, 2098.

A New Leader Returns the Church to Rome

Par terre Attique chef de la sapience,
Qui de présent est la rose du monde:
Pont ruiné, et sa grande prééminence,
Sera subdite et naufrage des ondes.

Century V, Quatrain 31

Into the antique land (Italy) fountain of ancient wisdom,
There will return the Rose,
The Pontificate (Papacy) ruined, no longer pre-eminent,
It will be overthrown, Peter’s ship wrecked amid the waves.

Church Changes Make Way for a False Messiah

Sur le milieu de grand monde la rose,
Pour nouveaux faits sang public épandu:
A dire vrai, on aura bouche close,
Lors au besoin viendra tard l’attendu.

Century V, Quatrain 96

In the middle of the world (Rome) shall rule the Rose,
Because of new laws, blood publicly shed in execution,
To speak the truth, everyone will shut their mouths,
Then at that time will One long awaited for and dreaded (a false Messiah) will come.

The Fatal Sequence of Events Après le siége tenu dix-sept ans,
Cinq changeront en tel révolu terme:
Puis sera l’un élu de même temps,
Qui des Romains ne sera trop conforme.

Century V, Quatrain 92

After the Holy See has been held by one Ruler for seventeen years (Benedict XVI?, 2005 to 2022),
Five will rule together (Council of Cardinals) for the same length of time (2022 to 2039),
Then during that same period one will be elected (2040),
One who the Romans (the Church) will not conform, and will destroy everything (a false Messiah).

Church rulership periods to 2040

One ruler for 17 years (Pope Benedict XVI, 2005–2022?); schismatic last Pope for 7 months; Council of Five Cardinals rule for 17 years (2022–2039?); appearance of false Messiah (2040?).
