As the Vatican prepares to select a new pontiff, a chilling prophecy from 900 years ago has re-emerged. This week on Cryptic Accounts, we examine the mysterious “Prophecy of the Popes”—a vision that may have predicted not only the death of Pope Francis but also the rise of the final pope: Peter the Roman.

Could we be witnessing the last days of the Catholic Church… and perhaps the world itself?

We explore the prophecy’s medieval origins, its strange accuracy across centuries, its controversial rediscovery in 1590, and its eerie alignment with current events—including whispers of Judgment Day in 2027. From secret Vatican archives to apocalyptic timelines and candidates named Peter, this episode uncovers the religious, political, and conspiratorial threads tying together one of the most cryptic predictions in Catholic history.
