“Two Worm Ridden Popes” Predicted by Approved Marian Seers

David Martin | The Daily Knight

Prior to his passing in 1999, the late author, exorcist, and papal advisor Fr. Malachi Martin told the late theologian Fr. Gregory Hesse that the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette in 1846 spoke of “two worm ridden popes” to come. A worm ridden pope would suggest one that is plagued with fear and corruption, one that would misguide the Church. Until 2013, no true pope of history had sought to misguide the Church.

The La Salette prophecy coincides with the prophecy of approved Catholic mystic Marie Julie Jahenny (1850-1941) who spoke of two consecutive antipopes to come. In a recent video interview with LifeSite CEO John Henry Westen, La Salette expert Xavier Reyes-Ayral speaks of Jahenny’s prophecy.

“Marie-Julie Jahenny … stated that there would come two popes, one that would follow the other, that would lead the Church in a false direction,” the author said. “And this would only confirm what, a few decades before, the Virgin Mary revealed to Mélanie Calvat in La Salette.”

In the interview, Ayral noted that there have been numerous apparitions and mystics that have revealed this prophecy, and he too points out that the prophecy of La Sallete spoke of “two worm ridden popes.” 

“The Blessed Virgin Mary, amongst so many other shocking revelations, stated that the day would come when there would be ‘deux papes vermollus’ in French, which in English … translates as ‘two worm-ridden popes’ succeeding one or the other,” he said.

The Francis-Leo Duo  

The above prophecies foreshadowed everything we see happening in the Church at this time. The elevation of Robert Francis Prevost to the Chair of Peter on May 8, 2025, wielded a blow to millions of Catholics who had hoped for a pontiff that would turn the tables and restore the main altar and the rule of sacred tradition. Unfortunately, the plague of profanation and error has only increased since that time. Francis’ errant agenda has now shifted into high gear.

Leo’s whole thrust has been to abet U.N. globalists in their push for climate action, environmentalism, immigration, inclusivity, synodality, one-world unity, and other small-minded political issues that have nothing to do with religion and the salvation of souls.

Moreover, Leo has shown no willingness to expel infamous clergy like Cardinal Cupich and Fr. James Martin who push LGBTQ living, but he rather dignifies their work as did Francis.

Worse yet, Leo on the weekend of September 6-7 invited 1200 LGBTQ activists to break through the Holy Door and stampede the Vatican for the glorification of their cause. This unprecedented sacrilege sent the signal across the world that Leo XIV approves and promotes homosexuality. Who would doubt that he does?   

Ancient Numerical Code for Calculating 666

Given the dissident nature of both Leo and Francis, we visit again that 1 ancient numerical code containing the secret for calculating who or what is connected with 666.

The code is applied to the alphabet with the letter “A” having the numerical value of 6 and each subsequent letter increasing in increments of 6, so that A = 6, B = 12, C = 18, etc. If you add up the letters of a name and come up with 666, it means it is connected with Antichrist.

For instance, the letters of the word “witchcraft” add up to 666. Same with the phrase “Mark of Beast.” The names "Kissinger" and “B Netanyahu” also add up to 666, which should come as no surprise seeing that both have slaved for the establishment of a satanic one-world government that seeks to depopulate the planet via murder, i.e. abortion and euthanasia.

What shall we say of those who promote the spiritual murder of the Church? 

Francis Robert Prevost (RFP)

Robert Francis Prevost was the previous name of Pope Leo, bearing the initials RFP. Francis [F] was the name of his predecessor. F and RFP are a team in that Leo is committed to continuing Francis’ legacy. The F in RFP can be seen as referring to both.

When we calculate the name Popes RFP it comes out to 666. This numerical calculation shouldn’t surprise us seeing that Leo echoes everything Francis stood for, especially the priestly blessing of homosexuality. Not to mention that Leo refuses to rescind the infamous China Deal with Rome that gives political, non-clerical "bishops" of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) full jurisdiction over the suffering Church in China. 

Deux Papes = 666

As stated above, Our Lady at La Salette predicted that there would come deux papes vermollus (two worm ridden popes). When we calculate the first two French words of this phrase (deux papes or two popes), it adds up to 666. What are the odds of that happening!

Concerning deux papes vermollus, Xavier Ayral states:

“This was a shock for a great many authorities, a shock which, and even a revelation which has been attempted to be hidden for decades, if not even over a century.”

According to Fr. Hesse, it was because of this shock among the clergy that a ‘notable cardinal’ yanked the phrase “two worm ridden popes” from the La Salette message. This calls to mind how Vatican radicals dropped the Fatima Third Secret from the Fatima message in June 2020.

Rome Will Become the Seat of Antichrist

The La Sallete prophecy said that “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of Antichrist.” This certainly has come to pass. “Antichrist” here doesn’t necessarily mean an individual but signifies the work of the Antichrist forces to misguide and corrupt the church. Both the prophecies of La Salette and Marie Julie Jahenny make it clear that two errant popes would spur this wayward path.

We might add that in his interview, Ayral revealed that in 1999 his friend Fr. Michel Corteville was researching the La Salette apparitions in the Vatican library and found the original La Salette message that said that there would be two worm ridden popes in the future.

LifeSiteNews explains.

“(Fr. Corteville) found this case of leather which was sealed and tied with … a string, and that had the seal of the Diocese of Grenoble,” Ayral said. “When he opened it, he finally found the original documents of those secrets, including the one which was also related by the world-famous Father Malachi Martin [concerning two worm ridden popes].”

Garabandal Connection

The revelations given to Melanie of La Salette and Marie Julie Jahenny tie with the prophecy of Our Lady of Garabandal (1961-1965) who indicated that Benedict XVI would be the last pope before the great tribulations start.

On June 3, 1963, upon the death of Pope John XXIII, The Blessed Virgin revealed to Garabandal seer Conchita Gonzales that only four popes remained before “the end of times.” We now understand these to be Popes Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.

Two worm ridden popes would follow, after which Peter the Roman would come and restore all things and usher in the Second Coming of Christ.

In the meantime, fasten your seat belts. “For now is the time of all times, the end of all ends.” (Our Lady at La Salette, 1846)
