Is Pope Leo XIV the Final Pope of Garabandal before the Warning?

I am absolutely in sympathy with your sense of things and the confusion you feel. Fr Reehill said it very well. He compared our situation to Noah's ark. He said its smelly there's a lot of excrement and a lot of noise and sea sickness BUT he says dont jump ship whatever you do. The torrents will end. The door will open and the dove will appear. In God's time. The worst thing to do is jump out. Then we drown. If they take the Mass from us then we re-examine our situation in light of history and tradition and light from the Holy Spirit. At least this is how I am seeing it right now.

 

If you read St. Malachy's Prophecy of the Popes in 2005 during the death of Pope John Paul II and election of Pope Benedict you will get this same interpretation as the 3 Popes of Garanbandal.

Back in 2005, all the contents on the page 1 of Google Search will tell you that the Glory of Olive (which will turn out to be Pope Benedict) is the last pope and that the Peter the Roman is just a forgery/fake. I vividly remember this because I used Google Search then.


But prophecy interpretations changed during the election of Pope Francis, where they said it was just an "end of an era."

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen said we don't have to worry about ever losing the Mass/Eucharist. I don't think that's going to happen. One priest offering a Mass is worth more than all the prayers and sacrifices of the entire Church for all time. God knows we cannot survive without a valid Mass and Eucharist.

 

I have already explained the "4 popes" prophecy several times , but I will again. . The 4 popes after John XXIII are , Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI. You even pointed out there are 4 popes with Mary's clarification of JPI, we all agree its a total of 4 ,not 3.
When Mary said at first 3 popes, she immediately clarified by saying she was not counting one of them, meaning John Paul I as he only reigned for 33 days.

The term "the end of the times" and end of the world do not mean the same thing (some get that confused). And this is something Conchita has repeated time and again. “ it does not mean that there won’t be any more popes, nor that the Church will cease, or that humanity will disappear. ". So the bigger question is why did Mary stop at the 4 popes, and not point to a specific pope that will reign during these ''end of the times" ? Only she knows for sure, certainly there was a departure from the more conservative Church under Benedict, then after the 4th pope, with Pope Francis.

Well, either way, this is the era we are now in as it is now past the 4th pope, and that we will experience the tribulations she spoke of, and then the WARNING & MIRACLE .

 

BTW, that was in my opinion, probably the worst Garabandal movie ever made. Caused more confusion and omitted facts , and I was inundated with questions for weeks afterwards.

 

Is anyone familiar with the work of the French Jesuit René Thibaut on the prophecy of Saint Malachy? Any thoughts?

The Year 2012

Central to Thibaut's thesis is the claim that the 40 mottoes from Gregory XIII onward span exactly 440 years (1572–2012). He derives this figure through multiple independent calculations involving the Roman numeral values of the letters in the mottoes. Remarkably, the final motto (Gloria olivae) yields the value 107—precisely the number of leap years in a 440-year period under the Gregorian calendar reform (which eliminated the leap year in 1700, 1800, and 1900).

Not the End of the World

Crucially, Thibaut insists that 2012 was not meant to signify the end of the world or the Last Judgment. Rather, he interprets the prophecy as predicting a "judgment of God" analogous to previous great turning points in history: the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, or the collapse of medieval Christendom in the fifteenth century. These were not apocalyptic endings but transformative transitions—the close of one era and the beginning of another.

As Thibaut writes: "The year 2012 will mark an epoch, just as the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD marked an epoch, as did the fall of the Empire in the fifth century, and the end of medieval Christendom in the fifteenth century... The judgment of God which will occur then, far from putting an end to the history of the Church, will mark the beginning of a new era."

Specifically, Thibaut suggests that "in 2012, the Catholic Church will cease to be called 'Roman.'" This does not mean the end of the papacy or the Church, but rather a fundamental transformation—perhaps a relocation of the papal seat away from Rome, ending the specifically "Roman" character of the institution while preserving its apostolic continuity.

Peter the Roman

The concluding paragraph of the prophecy speaks of "Petrus Romanus" (Peter the Roman) who will shepherd the faithful through tribulations. Many interpreters have taken this as a reference to a specific future pope who would take the name Peter II. Thibaut rejects this reading. He argues that "Petrus Romanus" represents not an individual but all the Roman pontiffs from Saint Peter to the recipient of Gloria olivae—the entire lineage of Peter living on through his successors. There is only one Peter, the first of the Roman pontiffs, and he continues to live in his successors.
