As I write this, it appears that Pope John Paul II is either barely clinging to life, or has already passed on. Many intuitives have said that they sensed his passing -- that is, his absence from the Web of Life, around 10:00 this morning Pacific time.

What does this mean for End Times scenarios?

According to Malachy's prophecy (below), if JPII is De Labore Solis, then we have Gloria Olivae next, then Peter the Roman, who will be pope during the Tribulation. There are rumors circulating that the next pope will be from Africa.

More in my next entry.
