(AP Wire photo, Oct. 23, 1958) Caption: "IN READINESS FOR A NEW POPE -- The book recording the
ritual of papal blessings and the formal vestments for the ceremonies are placed in readiness on a Vatican altar for one of the first official acts of
the new pope when he is chosen by the forthcoming conclave. The new pontiff traditionally starts his reign by extending his blessing "Urbi Et Orbi"
(To the city and to the world)
from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to the throngs massed in St. Peter's Square." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Papal Prophecy of Venerable Bernard de Bustis, 15th c.
"...near the time of the Antichrist, will come... a most violent conflict with
the Roman Church such that there will be great tribulations. At this time, A SCHISM WILL BE PRODUCED IN THE BOSOM OF THE CHURCH ON THE OCCASION OF THE ELECTION OF THE POPE... there is one who will be CALLED the true pope, but he
will NOT BE truly so.
HE WILL PERSECUTE THE TRUE POPE and all those who obey
him, so that the majority will declare themselves for the antipope rather
than
for the true pope. But this antipope will have a sad end, and the TRUE
one will REMAIN the unique and uncontested pontiff."
