Herro Fleeties!

This is my first ever Foundry mission (years in the making, lol)! Hope you all give it a try. I think I ironed out the "beam-in" problem, but if it persists, please let me know ASAP so I can pull my hair out some more as I tinker with it. Any other constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. There's even a little Stonewall plug in there!!

Enjoy. And don't forget to rate! :lol:

Hi White. This is a short list of prophecies attrbuted to St. Malachy. Your translation is just a tad off (we academics would say "problematic", but yours is not bad), here is the most common translation from Latin to English.

"In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter the Roman will hold the see. (he) will nourish his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills (Rome) will be destroyed, and the terrible judge (God) will judge his people. The End."

In original Latin:

In pſecutione extrema S.R.E. ſedebit. Petrus Romanus, qui paſcet oues in multis tribulationibus: quibus tranſactis ci- uitas ſepticollis di- ruetur, et Iudex tre mẽdus iudicabit po pulum ſuum. Finis.

Naturally, this version of Latin is mostly read by specialists and insane PhD candidates like myself. So...this version emerged in the Vulgate (Vulgar) Latin.

In persecutione extrema Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae sedebit. Petrus Romanus qui pascet oves multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitatis septi collis conterentur, et iudex iudicabit terribilis populum suum. Finis.

This results in a much cleaner translation, and more clear (I hope):

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church will sit Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, after which the city of the seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful Judge will judge his people. The end.

In order to properly translate Vulgar (Ecclesial) Latin, you have to understand the common abbreviations (e.g. S.R.E. and &) and change certain vowel endings to arrive at the true translation.

Nota bene: These prophecies and especially this particular one are generally regarded in scholarly circles as false. There is certainly not enough provenance to prove them absolutely genuine.

Good job, White! You get a thanks for providing me a simpler translation than the poem from Vergil I posted earlier today :).

Best,

I played the first one, I watched the last one on YouTube >_> lol. Apperantly I forget theres more than one ending :).

sounds like an STF
let's rock n roll!

Heh, the skill is slowly increasing as time goes on

So if St. Malachy's Prophecy of the Popes is true here's what we can look forward to:

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex tremêdus judicabit populum suum. Finis.

or in common tongue

(In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.)

Apparently the Glory of the Olives is suppose to be the Penultimate Pope

You can only do so much the the stuff people give you.

I said an AWESOME one... :P

Did you play the sequel?

I feel the same way about this community, Dan, and I think a lot of others do too. Hopping in-game or and in vent to play, chat and carouse with my fellow fleeties is something I look forward to every day. In recent months this community seems to have experienced a resurgence in the amount of discourse and camaraderie with the influx of new members like you and the return of old friends and it's just awesome to me. :)

I already had one, before you :P , slacker boy.

Yes he did, So if you want to have an AWESOME forum sig like mine, Go see Voleron

No problem!

It looks great, Aikune!! :woohoo: Dave did an awesome job.

Everything is a thinly veiled innuendos....in Ten Forward we forget the veil altogether.

Thank you for reminding me of that specific scandal. Benedetto has presided over so many. ;)

I'm Italian and I don't know if you know about the Monte dei Paschi bank scandal, the fact that the Pope resigned is linked to the fact that the Church had its shares in the debts/covert-dealings of the MdP and their endorsing Mario Monti as the 'savior' from our economic crisis here in Italy. It never counted his health (as he's in perfect conditions) he did it as to prevent the another scandal to form and destabilize their situation. P.S. I'm a Catholic, but I can't stand this Pope... nethertheless I'm telling the facts as I know them, not as to slander him.
