 Saint Malachy, an Irish saint and bishop of the Catholic Church, in the 12th century, 8 centuries ago when he visited Rome, referring to the Holy See of the Catholic Church which was then not only the 44 hectares of the Vatican Mini-State today but all of Italy under the Power of the Catholic Church under the name of the Papal States, when Saint Malachy saw the corruption of the Holy See of Saint Peter, he made a prophecy that would last 8 centuries, the prophecy of the List of Popes, was not published until the 16th century, Saint Malachy identified the 112 Popes that would come after his death, with allegorical characteristics and names, the last Pope on that List is Pope Francis whom he named Peter the Roman, during which the Church would be destroyed and God the Terrible Judge would judge his people the Church and it would be the End of the world. The Catholic Church has always recognized all the Prophecy of the List of the Popes of Saint Malachy and never refuted it, no Prophecy of a Christian saint has been null, for example the visionaries of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal, on May 13, 1917, during the third year of the First World War, the Virgin announced the appearance of Atheist Communism as a weapon of Satan in the world that happened 9 months later during the October Revolution of Russia in 1917, according to the Julian calendar in force in Russia at that time, which was November in the Gregorian calendar, which exists in most of the western world today, one of the Revelations that the Virgin Mary secretly told one of the 3 pious Christian children, who were shepherds of sheep, was that during her life Pope John Paul II would suffer an attack, and so it was an Islamic terrorist shot him seriously wounding him, but he survived and John Paul II departed from this world at an old age. The Church, above all, is concerned with its Power on Earth. In the Catholic Church, this is called Temporal Power, for the other Churches it is the Power of the Churches, and the members of Christianity, that is, all Christians in the world, who are the largest religion in Humanity with 1.39 billion Catholics in the world and 1.01 billion non-Catholic Christians from other Churches, 99%, as a way of expressing it, is not an official figure. They live in the world and, like everyone else in the world outside the Church, what matters to them are their personal, family, professional and economic interests, and their relationships within the world and within the Church as a Religious Power in the world, that is, winning this world even if they lose their soul. The Church was founded by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, during the first 4 centuries it was an illegal and persecuted religion, Christians were few and lived in small communities in secret because it could cost them their lives, martyrdom for their Faith, but in the 4th century a Roman Emperor named Constantine the Great legalized the Christian religion, and his tolerance for pagan religions, during his Empire he summoned the Main Fathers of the Church to a council, the Council of Nicaea in the year 325 after Christ to define the Truths of the Christian Faith, the result was the Nicene Creed that establishes the Truths of the Christian Faith that have always existed, shortly after in the year 380 after Christ a new Emperor, Theodosius I the Great proclaimed the Christian religion as the official religion of the Roman Empire, which is known by the current term of Confessional State, that is, a State with an official religion, and it was renamed the same Church that existed, which was the Church Primitive or Paleochristians, as "Catholic", a new Church was not created simply by becoming the official religion it began to be called Catholic, for 1000 years the Catholic Church was the only one recognized, but the Popes really did not have the power to choose people for their religious offices and financial matters, it was not until after the first 1000 years with the End of the Investiture Dispute between Pope Calixtus II and Emperor Henry V of the Holy Roman Empire successor to the Roman Empire with the Concordat of Worms, which recognized such power to the Pope, around that time the First Great Schism of the Church occurred, the Great Eastern Schism, by which Christianity, which was the official religion of the Empire that became such a large Empire that it was divided into the Western Empire and the Eastern or Byzantine Empire, then with the First Great Schism of the Church, the Patriarch of Byzantium, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, became independent due to issues of doctrines known as the Philoche Clause, and was the beginning of the Orthodox Church, as a Church separate from the Pope in Rome in the Western Roman Empire, 600 years later, coinciding with the excesses of the Church, the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in Germany, because no one had a Bible, the books that existed were written by hand by the monks in the monasteries in Christendom, and the Catholic mass or worship was in Latin, only the homily or commentary on the Latin readings of the mass were said by the  priests in the language of the population and with their backs to the people, who the vast majority had no education, and the priest held mass towards the image of the Church, with the invention of the printing press the Bible became the best-selling book in the world in all languages, and in 1959 during the Second Vatican Council the Latin mass began to be done in the vernacular of each country and facing the people, not with their backs to the people, also in 1517 this great division of the Church was related to the interests of the Elector Princes of Germany in the Protestant Reformation Movement of the Augustinian monk Martin Luther, which was the beginning of the Protestant or Evangelical Churches as they are called today, then in the 19th century appeared the Non-Trinitarian Churches or Sects, the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, who do not believe that Jesus Christ is God and were founded on supposed supernatural revelations from their founders, and then later appeared Churches Non Confessionals that are currently a very profitable business for the Megavangelists. The Catholic Church does not recognize supernatural powers to its priests, they are people with religious vows and whose powers given by Jesus Christ were to impart their sacraments, that is, the ministry of the Church and to impart their Teachings of Jesus Christ, that is, the Magisterium of the Church, almost all non-Catholic Churches claim to have supernatural powers, any pastor or non-pastor, in the Catholic Church supernatural experiences are exclusive to Christian saints who have mystical experiences that are not the same as Occultism or Esotericism, and only some Christian saints are Thaumaturges, that is, they can perform miracles, as a grace granted by God exclusively to them for their holiness. Both the Pope of the Catholic Church and the Patriarchs of the Orthodox Church are given the honorary treatment of Holiness by their Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, as successors of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew, respectively.
