Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope Is Here
Cheese avatar reviewed on + 324 more book reviews


When I first picked this book up I thought it was going to be on the Prophecy of the Popes. It starts out that way and then quickly goes into extreme End Times Conspiracy theory. It touched on everything from the Freemasons, Illuminati and the Papacy performing secret rites to bring the anti-Christ in our times, to the designs of Washington DC and the Vatican having Masonic symbology and power spots for Pagan Gods to the Catholics purposely tampering with their line of Pope Succession and the Prophecy of the Popes to make the End Times come alive. Though I thought the history of the popes and the Catholic religion was interesting (same thing you read in most religious history books). I thought the rest of it was pure Conspiracy Theory. This book would have probably had a more profound effect on the reader if it was read before 2012, since this book subscribes to that being the beginning of the end for us. Or before Pope Benedict stepped down and Pope Francis took over. The authors spent numerous chapters with their predictions of the final pope (BTW according to Malachi's Prophecy Pope Francis is in the slot of the final pope). Of course they were way off base. Like I said the papal history was interesting and the parts on the history of the prophecy was interesting the rest is garden variety end times theories. They did tear the Catholic religion to shreds but most End Times books feel the Catholic church is a big part of the End Times. And you have to admit the Catholic Church really wasn't that "holy" during the Middle or dark ages. A lot of corruption and a lot of Sin. And on a side note, if you are to write a book on a certain subject, don't use a previous book that you wrote as a reference source to prove your point. Which this author did many times. I don't think it holds much weight in proving your point.
