Nostradamus’s eerie 16th century prediction about the Pope makes stark warning as 88-year-old Pontiff dies

As Catholics around the world mourn the death of Pope Francis who has passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88, astrologists are claiming that Nostradamus made a prediction about his death which suggested the Catholic church’s standing in the world could be significantly weakened.

Writing in Les Prophéties in 1555, French astrologer Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus issued a number of grim prophecies for the future of humanity including ‘cruel wars’, natural disasters and the return of the plague.

Within his gloomy outlook was the death of a ‘very old’ Pope – as well as stark warning about the weakening of the Catholic Church.
