The death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday at the age of 88 has sparked renewed attention to a prediction made by the famous 16th-century astrologer, Nostradamus.
In his 1555 book Les Prophéties, Nostradamus predicted the death of a “very old pope” and warned that the Catholic Church could weaken as a result. He also wrote about the election of a new pope who would “weaken his seat” but remain in power for a long time.
Nostradamus’ prophecies have long been controversial, but his predictions about world events, such as the rise of Hitler and the COVID-19 pandemic, have often been considered accurate.
Following Pope Francis’ passing, many are wondering if Nostradamus’ words about a change in leadership within the Church are coming true.
Pope Francis had struggled with health issues in recent years, including a hernia and falls, and had been hospitalized several times before his death.
His passing marks a historic moment, as he was the first pope from outside Europe in 1,300 years. His leadership, known for liberal views, has left a significant impact on the Catholic Church.
Along with the pope’s death, Nostradamus also predicted that 2025 would bring devastating wars, plagues, and a “fireball from the cosmos” that could change the fate of Earth.
As the world faces uncertainty, Nostradamus’ ominous forecasts continue to captivate attention.
