Prophecies Resurface After Election of New Pope Leo XIV
The world watched on May 8 as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV, succeeding the late Pope Francis, who died on April 21. In a break from tradition, Leo delivered a multilingual address during his first mass.
Following the announcement, historical prophecies by Nostradamus and Saint Malachy resurfaced. In 1555, Nostradamus wrote of a “Roman of good age” following an old pope’s death, though details don’t precisely match Pope Leo.
