No, not http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/ that pope, the http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=7986072 other pope!

Ok, he was part of a “secretive sect”, so I guess we can all be forgiven for not having a clue who he was. It was rather amusing to note that, like so many prominent muslim clerics, this joker was blind; not to mention blindly followed by his devoted congregation.

The good news is, he didn’t die crucified, so there’s another perfectly good prophecy gone to hell.

MADRID (Reuters) – The leader of a secretive Spanish sect who said he was the true Pope and that the Vatican was controlled by the devil has died, a town hall official said Tuesday.

Gregorio XVII, 58, was the leader of a self-styled church whose followers believed he would be crucified before a kind of apocalypse would take place.
