The result of the recent conclave was not a surprise. I was expecting it not because I am a smart observer but because an interior feeling warned me. Do not fret. We are one step closer to our liberation. I will try to explain.
There are those who believe neither in Garabandal, nor in St. Malachi’s Prophecy of the Popes. I have studied both in detail without prejudice and I believe to the best of my ability. If those are elaborated forgeries perpetrated long ago, one could sincerely ask how the forgers managed to predict in detail some of the events we are now aware of. The mark of a false prophet is his ineptitude to predict. When it is determined that facts are clearly predicted correctly there is no escaping the conclusion.

The first clue: Garabandal
It seems to me Our Blessed Mother carefully designed the events in Garabandal so that the half-infiltrated Church would not approve the visions. But the faithful (“those having understanding”) would nevertheless be warned. Garabandal was her response to John XXIII dismissing the Third Secret of Fatima which basically announced a great apostasy beginning from the hierarchy and moving downwards to the faithful. After 1964 the apostasy began progressing fast.
Our Lady also warned about so many Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, etc. secretly doing wicked things: those were the very things uncovered through the years since. Our Blessed Mother also announced the End Times in a rather cryptic manner and validated her message thus: there were going to be three more popes until the end times. The validation was: a fourth pope would “only reign a short time” (that was John Paul I) and the others were Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, “and the end will come.” I have reasons to believe that indicates we have entered “the last hour” (2023-2026?)
“On June 3, 1963 the news about the death of Pope St. John XXIII had just arrived in Garabandal. Conchita Gonzalez and her mother went toward the Church to pray for the eternal repose of the pontiff. On the way, Conchita heard interiorly the unmistakable voice of Our Mother who told her: ‘After this Pope, there will be only three, and after that will be the end of the times.’ Shortly thereafter, the Virgin clarified that while there would only be three popes, there would be another one, but he would ‘govern the Church for a very short time,’ and that was why She did not include him in the list. There are witnesses who affirm that they heard Conchita speaking on this precise matter during that same month of June of 1963.” — Source: Fr. Saavedra, J.L., Garabandal: Message of Hope. Publ. Santander, 2015.
The second clue: the Prophecy of the Popes
Many dismissed the prophecy of St. Malachy as a forgery that took place in 1595 but they never explain how it could count precisely the number of popes until Benedict XVI, for example. The precision of the emblems regarding Pacelli, Roncalli, Montini, Luciani, Wojtila, and Ratzinger (the last seven popes) is not explained either. For instance, the emblem of the half moon pope (Albino Luciani) appears astonishingly accurate to me when I consider it was “forged” 385 years prior.
St. Malachi completes the catalog and then goes off the list to announce a mysterious person he calls “Petrus Romanus.” In my opinion the purpose of the prophecy is to act as a general marker of the End Times. The “day and the hour” argument does not apply here, no day, no hour are being announced but the end of a specific age of the Church. Warnings about the end of that age are all over Sacred Scripture if one cares to study it carefully and prayerfully.
Revelation 17:12 says “And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.” The ten kings and the beast will fight the last battle against Christ. I don’t have to tell you Who will win.
It is possible that a future Pope will deliver the age of the ten kings. That may also call for a church synod of many members, named in an effort to “democratize the church.” That could be a way of ending the Papacy and thus installing the abominable apostasy in power in the same manner that unfaithful Levites gained control of the Temple during Jesus’ times. (cf. Matthew 24:15) Before the end of the Mosaic age, the office of the High Priest rotated between Annas and Caiaphas, and perhaps other male members of the High Priest’s family. This sign certainly deserves a more detailed analysis. I hope I have more time to analyze it soon (with some assistance!)
The third clue: the 46 stars
Prof. Alessandro Massano recently discovered another list of 46 popes hidden in the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The 46th Pope to complete the list would be Benedict XVI. To those paying attention, this new discovery validates the prophecy of St. Malachi and also the prediction to Conchita Gonzalez of Garabandal. The actual probability calculation for this “coincidence” between the names of popes and the number of stars is so low (a small number preceded by 67 zeroes after the decimal point) that mere happenstance is virtually impossible. Please see: A Startling New Discovery. If we add the coincidence with (a) the Garabandal locution and (b) St. Malachi Prophecy of the Popes, the odds are even smaller. To my mind this is a clear sign from Heaven. I was summarily dismissed in a despondent manner when I called attention to Massano’s discovery. Many have done the same with St. Malachi’s prophecy. Bad manners don’t change facts.
In Revelation 12, St. John writes: “the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that there she can be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” That length of time equals 42 months. The same period is mentioned in Revelation 11:1-3 “they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.”
This is a mere observation: Benedict XVI died the last day of 2022. Forty-two months after that may be the “trampling” being described in Revelation 11:1-3. That period would end mid-year 2026. I am reluctant to predict anything because not many of these signs are completely clear to me but I would not be surprised if significant events accelerate in the months leading to June/July 2026.
A warning sign in San Nicolás, Argentina
“On December 17, 2023 a very ominous southeaster visited the shores of the Rio de la Plata. The beautiful city of Montevideo was hit and also its sister city of Buenos Aires on the opposite shore of the river. It was a most unusual storm in what it was for Argentines a very unusual year. The day of the storm was also the birthday of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, also known as Pope Francis. He was prepared to sign a controversial document the next day, Fiducia Supplicans. Said document was to cause quite a stir in Catholic circles.” (cf. Morning by the Paraná in quodscripsi.com)
The storm came about a year after the death of Benedict XVI and ditto on the birthday of Pope Francis. The bolt burned the keys and the blessing hand of St. Peter’s statue located at one of the entrances to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary located in San Nicolás, Argentina. Although four large lightning rods are installed around the basilica’s dome, the bolt managed to hit St. Peter’s statue located below at street level. Please see the image at the top of this post. The keys nearly evaporated.
To my mind, this is an event similar to the mene, mene, tekel uparsim related by the prophet Daniel. Back then the sign was quite clear. God was telling the king of Babylon that his ruling was over. The miraculous warning happened while the king and his men were committing sacrilege by using the sacred vessels of God’s Temple to drink and celebrate, praising their false gods. The king died that night (cf. Daniel 5) and Cyrus the Persian took over Babylon. Later, Cyrus liberated God’s people.
It does not take a great theologian to interpret the sign.
Conclusion
In my humble opinion we are passing through the end of an age. The death of Benedict XVI on the last day of 2022 marks the end of St. Malachi’s list and the end of an era. The clock is ticking and big changes are afoot.
Please see also Question and Response.

RESPONSE:
The point is: Benedict XVI was a marker in time, the end of an age. The signs are all over the place. Canon Law was tossed out the window a long time ago. Validity or invalidity are moot points. The Keys were blown to smithereens and now we are (apparently) rudderless in the high seas. Yet we have to have faith that the Church will survive because that is God’s will. Christ appears to be sleeping but that is intentional. He appears to have left us adrift but HE IS THERE and He will stand up and rebuke the storm and the high waves. Christ is King.
St. Malachi, Our Lady of Mount Carmel at Garabandal, and lately the discoveries of Professor Massano (the stars in the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe) are all signs that validate each other perfectly.
On these issues I have heard a lot of violent dismissals but NOT ONE of the naysayers have explained coherently why they say these signs are false. Their denial is not a valid refutation.
The truth is: when confronted with the realities we know —the signs are validated— So, I am not being stubborn, I am waiting for an argument. They can lecture me to death, they can despise me, they can defame me all over the place, they can even attack me furiously. Those are are mere digressions: I am waiting to hear their point cogently expressed.

Valid or not, the popes after Benedict XVI are the popes of the Great Apostasy. Our Lady warned us of “Two popes full of worms” remember? There’s a strange mysterious prediction in the Apocalypse of John, something like “there are seven kings, five are gone, one is, and one is coming” and then there is the prediction of the “ten kings” — most likely I am dead wrong — but it would not surprise me if the ten kings are a sort of “congress” or “synod” of bishops who will end the papacy and install the synodal church where the pope will be a rotational post, them taking turns at being pope one per year or something like that. Right about the time of Christ’s ministry, Rome ordered Herod not to have a High Priest any longer but have a rotational schedule of one year each among the males of the oldest Levite family. That is how Annas was the true High Priest and Caiaphas (his son in law) was also a high priest in charge. John 11:51:
> “You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.”
Notice that the Holy Spirit was guiding him even as he was a clearly invalid High Priest named by the Roman Empire and not the way God wanted it. Why did the Romans insisted on that? Answer: because the only Supreme Pontiff in the Roman Empire was the Emperor (Pontifex Maximus) and no one else. God is writing parables in history (my pet theory) and in this case He presented us with the Levitical priesthood manipulated by the antichrist model —Tiberius Augustus in this case: a degenerate tyrant who embodied the antichrist perfectly!
I believe like you do, this pope is not going to last long. He is here to deliver the reign of the antichrist who is somewhere chomping at the bit to take his place and close this age of history. A natural disaster, either caused by men or by God is about to hit the Earth —they know it and are preparing for it! If you have time please see this video presented a few weeks ago by Tucker Carlson. I think the lady (Catherine Fitts) is telling all the truth she knows, she ‘escaped the plantation’ so to speak. She knows what she’s talking about. The video is here:

Once you see it, meditate in Revelation 6:12-17 the points in brackets are a very telling list of events. These survive the great ordeal but they are still stubbornly resisting God contrary to those who spiritually survive the great ordeal but are found praising God around His throne. (see Revelation 7:9-14) May we be counted among them!
> When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and there came a great earthquake; [1] the sun became black as sackcloth, [2] the full moon became like blood, and [3] the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree drops its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. [4] The sky vanished like a scroll rolling itself up, and [5] every mountain and island was removed from its place.
>
> Then the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’
