The sensational prediction was allegedly made by Cardinal Paolo Romeo, the archbishop of Palermo in Sicily, during a trip to China in November 2011. He seemed so sure of the fact that the people he spoke with, including Italian businessmen and Chinese representatives of the Catholic Church, were convinced that he was talking about an assassination attempt.

I'll believe it when I see it, to be honest.

[and then]

Well not to be dismissive but he IS 84.  And assassination plots don't usually get a lot of press in advance

[Orcseeker]

Why would you bother assassinating the pope :/

[Ron Jeremy]

Reminds me of the prophecy of St. Malachi of armagh. Not that I really believe in the prediction, but I am very interested to see how the single biggest religion in the world can be destroyed in a very short amount of time with great persecution.

I too could die within a year... couldn't we all?

[libstaK]

I always suspected he was chosen because he would guarantee a shorter reign than John Paul II.   There are special interests at play that are maturing their agendas me thinks but I don't think he will be assassinated, it would have to be prophecy if it happened now and I can't remember any Cardinal ever being capable of that .

Of course he will with the rest of us in December

[Mystify]

What's interesting is that the third prophecy of Fatima was supposedly a prediction of the death of Pope Jean-Paul from within the Vatican. I'm wondering if this is along the same lines....

Well given the fact that Romeo denies making the comments it doesn't seem like a prediction at all. The report here seems to simply be there was an investigation by the Vatican. No credible sources are cited claiming there was a prediction to begin with ... ??

Funny, he's looked dead to me for years.

I wouldn't say religion is the greatest cause of pain and suffering on this planet. That would be a bit of a rich claim.

It would be more accurate to say that people who abuse their position and do terrible things in the name of their faith are the greatest cause of pain and suffering.
