Two Popes

There was a historic meeting of two popes recently at Castel Gandolfo, Italy which brought to mind a May 13, 1820 prophecy by Anna-Katharina Emmerich who suffered all of her life and bore the stigmata of Our Lord. "I saw also the relationship between two popes .  .  .I saw how baleful would be consequences of this false church.  I saw it increase in size; heretics of every kind came into the city (of Rome).  The local clergy grew lukewarm, and I saw great darkness. . . Then, the vision seemed to extend on every side.  Whole Catholic communities were being oppressed, harassed, confined, and deprived of their freedom.  I saw many churches close down, great miseries everywhere, wars and bloodshed.  A wild and ignorant mob took to violent action.  But it did not last long."

There are a couple of questions that come to mind about this prophecy.  When the date May 13 appears one almost automatically wonders if there is a connection to Fatima.  It is often difficult to determine the timing in history that the prophecy is describing but it would seem in this case that it is almost self evident and that the prophecy refers to Benedict XVI and Francis.   The prophecy however seems to describe many events that followed 1958 so there is a slight possibility that  it could refer to the conspiracy theory regarding Gregory XVII and John XXIII.
