New Pope 2013

Now That There’s A New Pope, How Many Days Till Doomsday?
The 1.2 billion-strong Roman Catholic church now has a new spiritual leader, Pope Francis. His election proved to have many firsts for the secular faith. But along with the many firsts, could he also be the last pope highly associated with the doomsday prophecy by St Malachy?

The 2013 papal conclave may have escaped the precise election of a black-skinned pope, but conspiracy theorists among netizens remain adamant the selection of Pope Francis has indeed heralded the end of days for the people on planet Earth.

Forum members at godlikeproductions.com sorted and debated the affiliations of Pope Francis.

"We all mistook first black pope to mean skin color. Not true. In the Jesuit order, there is a Black Pope," member Sak posted.

The former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio is the leader of the Jesuits, who traditionally wear black cassocks. When he got elected to become spiritual leader of the Catholic church, he became the first Jesuit Pope.

"Therefore, the head of the Catholic church Pope Francis, who is now 'Peter,' is also the head of the Jesuit Order," the member said.

Simply put, Pope Francis is, at least according to conspiracy theorists at that forum, the black pope.

Some also picked on the new pope's chosen papal name, Francis, to represent St Francis of Assisi.

Francis of Assisi was one of 7 kids born to a man named Peter, whose real name is Pietro Di Bernardone.

"What more evidence do we need? This new pope is Italian which is part of Rome, he lives and works in the Vatican City of Rome, he is the first Jesuit Black pope, and he wears a Black Cross, and is now Peter of Rome."

But while doomsday pugs now bombard the world wide web with their deductions, there are others, as expected, who fight inference with an all-together different interpretation.

Over at gotquestions.org, "biblically speaking, there is absolutely no connection between a black Pope and the end times. The Bible does not even mention the papacy."

While there may be an end of times phophecy, everything has been wrongly interpreted.

"The Bible, particularly Revelation 17:9, does not say anything about Popes in general or an end-times Pope in particular."

But with all the hullaballoo over St Malachy's predictions and the apocalyptic list of prophecy of the 112 Popes, one question remains - just how many days are now left before doomsday?
