Abbot Joachim Merlin Prophecy on the Great Pope to Come
Abbot Joachim Merlin (born circa 1480, died 1541) was a canon of Notre Dame; in 1529 he became the grand penitentiary after being imprisoned for two years in the court of Francis I, and he was exiled in Nantes for a year because of his opposition to the Lutherans. Upon his return to Paris in 1530 he became the vicar-general. The following lengthy prophecy of his is about the Great Pope:
"After many prolonged sufferings endured by Christians, and after a too great effusion of innocent blood, the Lord shall give peace and happiness to the desolated nations. A remarkable pope will be seated on the pontifical throne, under the special protection of the angels. Holy and full of gentleness, he shall undo all wrong, he shall recover the states of the Church, and reunite the exiled temporal powers. He shall be revered by all people, and shall recover the kingdom of Jerusalem. As the only Pastor he shall reunite the Eastern to the Western Church, and thus only one faith will be in vigor. The sanctity of this beneficent Pontiff will be so great that the highest potentates shall bow before his presence. This holy man shall crush the arrogance of religious schism and heresy. All men will return to the primitive Church, and there shall be only one pastor, one law, one master --- humble, modest, and fearing God. The true God of the Jews, our Lord Jesus Christ, will make everything prosper beyond all human hope, because God alone can and will pour down on the wounds of humanity the oily balm of sweetness.
"The heavens
proclaim the glory of God, and the faithful are in joy and
happiness, because the Lord has vouchsafed to be merciful to
them. He shall invite his elect to the banquet of the Lamb,
where melodious canticles and harmonious concerts will be heard.
"The power of this
Pontiff's holiness will be so great as to be able to check the
fury and impetuosity of threatening waves. Mountains shall be
lowered before him, the sea shall be dried up, the dead shall be
raised, the churches shall be reopened and altars erected.
"It should be known
that there will be two heads, one in the East, and the other in
the West. This Pope shall break the weapons and scatter the
fighting hordes. He will be the joy of God's elect. This angelic
pope will preach the gospel in every country. Through his zeal
and solicitude the Greek Church shall be forever reunited to the
Catholic Church.
"Before, however,
being firmly and solidly established in the Holy See, there will
be innumerable wars and violent conflicts during which the
sacred throne shall be shaken. But through the favor of divine
clemency, moved by the prayers of the faithful, everything will
succeed so well that they shall be able to sing hymns of
thanksgiving to the glory of the Lord.
"At the beginning,
in order these happy results, having need of a powerful temporal
assistance, this holy Pontiff will ask the cooperation of the
generous monarch of France. At that time a handsome monarch, a
scion of King Pepin, will come as a pilgrim to witness the
splendor of this glorious pontiff, whose name shall begin with
"R."... A temporal throne being vacant, the Pope shall
place on it this king whose assistance he shall ask.
"A man of remarkable
sanctity will be his successor in the Pontifical chair. Through
him God will work so many prodigies that all men shall revere
him, and no person will dare to oppose his holy precepts. He
shall not allow the clergy to have many benefices. He will
induce them to live by tithes and offerings of the faithful. He
shall interdict pomp in dress, and all immorality in dance and
songs. He will preach the gospel in person, and exhort all
honest ladies to appear in public without any ornament of gold
or precious stones. After having occupied the Holy See for a
long time he shall happily return to the Lord.
