A HUNGARIAN POPE? PETER ERDO? FASCINATING NEWS!

Over the last several days I've been reading around the Vatican, and the resignation of the present Pope, Benedict XVI, as well as the upcoming enclave that will elect a new leader of the Roman Catholic Church.  Among the things I have heard on radio and read on the news, are theories of a "Saint Malachy," who is credited as a prophet who foresaw the ordination of 210 Popes and says the 211th - the next Pope - will be the last.  One of the most interesting news blurbs I read included a photo of lightening appearing to strike the dome of the Vatican in a storm that occurred after the Pope gave his resignation.  All of this, as well as Global Warming and Earth Changes have given some people the idea that we are in "End Times."  I apply caution to such ideas.  I'm more concerned about the human beings who WANT the End Times and want to make them happen.

Reading around this subject, here is an article I found from the Italian Insider paper, Italy's first English Language news paper:

At this time, I'm looking into the subject of religion in Hungary today.
