What a wus. John Paul II was practically a pickle and they still propped him up on the pulpit. Wonder how much plummeting membership had to do with this choice?

As soon as this prophecy is found to be false the believers in this one will probably find some other reason why this didn't somehow fulfill the conditions.
My question had nothing to do with snark, it actually was an honest question because often these prophecies are moving targets. People have been claiming that prophecies are saying the end of the word is coming soon for hundreds of years and we're still here.

You can believe what you want, of course, but not all prophecies are false.
