He sadly died following a stroke aged 88 on Easter Monday, just a day after greeting crowds in Vatican City. Francis had resumed some official duties earlier this month during his recovery from double pneumonia, before his untimely death. The Vatican said Francis decreed in his will that he will be buried in St Mary Major Basilica in a simple underground tomb, inscribed only with “Franciscus”.
And as millions around the world mourn his passing, conspiracy theorists have pointed to a prediction once made by Nostradamus, reports the Mirror. The prophet , real name Michel de Nostredame, has seen a number of his prophecies from his book Les Propheties realised over the years after it was released more than 450 years ago. Some people believe he accurately predicted the shooting of President John F Kennedy, the start of the Covid pandemic, and even 2022's cost of living crisis.
He used the alignment of the stars to make his predictions for the future, and he made many disturbing prophecies which it is now being claimed included the death of Pope Francis. He said that a “very old” pope would die and that the Catholic Church would also be weakened. The astrologer wrote: “Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity.
” He also gave a prophecy about who would be the next pope. “A young man of dark skin with the help of the great king will deliver the purse to another of red colour,” Nostradamus stated. Francis, who was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was elected as Pope in 2013.
The Vatican said in an update on Monday evening that he died from a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure. It will be the task for the College of Cardinals to choose the next pope. The process is famously secretive, with a two-thirds vote necessary - of 138 eligible voters - to choose a successor in an election which has previously taken days or even months behind closed doors at the Sistine Chapel.
However, that will not happen for at least 15 days, as before that, Francis's body will lie in state in St Peter's Basilica during an official mourning period. Francis will be buried in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino neighbourhood. Meanwhile, among Nostradamus’ other predictions, looking 500 years into the future, he warned that in 2025 that 'those from the lands of Europe' would become embroiled in 'cruel wars' at some point.
Troublingly, he added that the UK would be involved, while he also pointed out that: "The ancient plague will be worse than enemies." Nostradamus is also thought to have had other revelations for this year with some good and others bad. He believed that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may come to an end due to the 'exhaustion' of both armies but he also said that Brazil will be rocked by volcanic activity and deadly flooding.
