description: John Hogue, a leading authority on Nostradamian prophecy, turns his analytical skills to the 111 Latin mottoes of Malachy of Ireland, a 12th-century bishop who is said to have predicted the succession of popes from Celestine II to the end of the Catholic church. Hogue integrates prophecy and history like a master fencer wields a rapier and dagger, adding just a touch of wry humor--who else but Hogue would compare Saint Bernard and the 12th-century monastic movement to Elvis Presley and rock 'n' roll? The Last Pope succeeds on many as a comprehensive history of the papacy, as an examination of the prophecy of Saint Malachy, and as an assessment of the history and potential future of Catholicism. --Brian Patterson
