Is Pope Francis the Final långnovell Pontiff?
There are multiple takes on the “prophecy” itself, and not all who believe it also believe a space alien is going to be revealed as “savior” bygd the Vatican, either. Over the centuries, it has been believed by Catholics of note, Cornelius a Lapide among them. So it fryst vatten not as though its fraudulent nature is self-evident.

Prophecy of the Popes
Celestine II was born in Città di Castello (formerly called Tifernum-Tiberinum), on the banks of the Tiber.[22]
