F OREWORD
by Brad Olsen
O n the weekend of my 49th birthday, something wonderful and something tragic happened then something wonderful again. First the good news first. This same week just so happened to be when I was moving to the signed contract phase with bestselling Italian author Leo Lyon Zagami, including the option to publish five of his books. The first title in our publishing schedule is this book, which I have helped translate and edit, followed by Leos Confessions of an Illuminati, volumes I, II, III, and the Invisible Master. The horizons of my next two years was looking to be filled with reissuing Leos ground-breaking books into the English language. My decision to work with Leo was largely due to the urging of our mutual friend Sean Stone, son of film director Oliver Stone.
Everything was coming up roses when tragedy struck on Friday evening, the day before my birthday. My girlfriend, Jennifer, took a nasty fall on the pavement and shattered her elbow. She broke several bones in her left arm. Needless to say, our weekend plans were canceled. The day after her surgery, I went to bring her flowers and some other items that she needed. When I arrived, I said hello to Nora, an elderly woman who shared the hospital room with Jennifer. Nora had such a pleasant smile and disposition that I really took to her, and the three of us chatted for an hour before a Catholic priest arrived to administer her last rites, a communion, and absolution. Nora had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and she was going in for major surgery the next morning. A few months short of her 80th birthday, she was contemplating the possibility that she may not live through the operation, and wished to be forgiven for her sins.
Noras priest happened to be a Jesuit. He was a kindly man, who I sensed had love in his heart. We had a discussion about the order, and I even told him about this book. As it turns out, both he and Nora were originally from Barcelona, Spain. The Father was attracted to the Jesuit order as a teenager, enrolled in seminary school, and in time became a priest. Eventually, he was assigned to deliver mass in one of the largest cathedrals in San Francisco, California, the city of Saint Francis, the Patron Saint of Ecology, and the city where the four of us currently reside.
As I left the hospital I was floored by the sheer synchronicity of the visitmy undertaking of a major publishing project that is both candid and critical of the Vatican and Jesuit authority, and at the same time, witnessing a deeply-moving Catholic religious ceremony I had not sought out, but was extremely grateful for the experience once it was over. My takeaway was to realize that there are exceptionally good Catholic people in the world. Both Nora and the Jesuit priest felt Pope Francis has been a positive change for the Catholic Church, and emphasized how much help the Church offers to so many people. But even the good Catholics need to understand the enormous changes taking place at the upper echelons of the Vatican. The main point is that groups such as organized religions are made up of peoplesome good, and others who might not be so well-intended.
O N P ROPHECIES AND P ROPHETS
A part from being the first Jesuit pope in history, Pope Francis I has another form of notoriety. For over 900 years, historians have recognized that the last pope will arrive, around this time in history, and some propose that Francis himself is indeed the Last Pope. The most-popular prophecy is taken from Bishop Malachys Prophecy of the Popes. It is a list of verses predicting aspects of the reign of each Roman Catholic pope from Celestine II to the final pope, who is named Peter the Roman, and whose reign would end with the destruction of Rome. Of course the Holy Father Pope Francis I, whose birth-name is Jorge Mario Bergoglio, does not have Peter nor the Roman in his name. But as the back-dating goes, Pope Benedict XVI was number 111 of the 112 popes prophesied by the later canonized Malachy. Since Pope Francis I reigns after Pope Benedict XVI, this makes him 112Peter the Romanthe last popethe pope who Malachy said would oversee the destruction of Romeand this is consistent with biblical prophecy. Catholic prophecies also tell of an Antipope who will betray the faith. Could this really be the genial and popular Pope Francis?
Laying dormant for hundreds of years, the prophecies attributed to Saint Malachy were first published in 1595, by a Benedictine historian named Arnold de Wyon, who recorded them in his book called Lignum Vit. Tradition holds that Malachy had been summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent II, and while there, he experienced the profound vision of all future popes, including the last one, which he wrote down in a series of cryptic phrases identifying the reign of each pope. According to the prophecy, the pope following Benedict XVI will be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter the Roman.
The idea by some Catholics that the next pope on Saint Malachys list harkens to the dawn of a great apostasy, followed by great tribulation, sets the stage for the imminent unfolding of apocalyptic events. This would give rise to a false prophet, who, according to the book of Revelation, leads the worlds religious communities toward embracing a political leader known as an Antichrist. In recent history, several Catholic priests and pundits have been surprisingly outspoken on what they have seen as an inevitable danger rising from within the ranks of Catholicismthe result of secret and satanic Illuminati-Masonic influences. These critics claim to have secret knowledge of a multinational power-elite, an occult hierarchy that is operating behind world political machinations, and calling the shots on the global stage. The claims say that among this secret society are sinister false Catholic infiltrators who understand that, as the Roman Catholic Church represents one-sixth of the worlds populationand over half of all Christianscontrol of the matters of church and state is indispensable toward the fulfillment of a
