112 Popes before the End of the World

BACK STORY

St. Malachy was born in Armagh, Ireland, in 1094, and he died in 1148. Malachy prophesied there would be 112 Roman pontiffs. The prophecy was discovered in the 1500s. He prophesied that the last pope would be in 2027. That appears to be true. I heard about this prophecy on a Duck Dynasty video (attached below). At least that is who it looks like. Anyhow, they said something about images on the wall and only one slot remaining. I looked all over the internet for the room with the Pope’s and found a video tour someone shared. Interestingly, they didn’t film the corner where his portrait was hung very well. But I felt I could see clearly enough that there were 5 spaces remaining. So, I don’t think that part is true. As far as the prophecy itself, it seems to be true and false, depending on what you read. It was discovered hundreds of years after it was written and the prophecy seems to be an interpretation of what was written.

Here are a few details about where the pope falls.

VIDEO I SAW FROM DUCK DYNASTY (I think that is who is talking)

PORTRAITS OF POPE’s, ST PAUL OUTSIDE THE WALLS

Somewhere along the line, looking at this prophecy, I came across someone who said there was only one spot left for one more pope. I didn’t copy the reference, but it set me on a journey to find the wall and see just how many were represented and how many spots were left. I looked all over for the portraits. There is not a clear map or images of all the walls. But, on a video, I counted 101 in the main hall. 74 in and end hall. Then I saw Pope Francis in a side hall, but all the images were not included in the video and both sides were not shown. It leads me to believe that this is not believed by the Catholic church as a whole.
