I’m seeing a lot of people talking online about how Nostradamus predicted Pope Francis’ death in 2025.
So I looked into it and wanted to share what I found with you so you have the truth.
All of the claims come from his 1555 book Les Prophéties where Nostradamus wrote: “Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity.”
That’s it.
That’s all we’ve got.
So basically Nostradamus thought at one point in the future there might be a really old Pope who dies.
Does that strike anyone as surprising?
You don’t really need to be “Nostradamus” to piece that one together!
Still….is it referring to Pope Francis?
Even that is debatable. There is nothing objectively in there other than him being old that links to this.

So I have to say I’m not real impressed with any of that, but what IS potentially interesting is what he wrote in the second half of that text…
Let’s read it again: Through the death of a very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected / Of him it will be said that he weakens his seat / But long will he sit and in mordant activity.”
So if the Francis replacement ends up being someone from Rome of good age (which I assume means younger, maybe in his 40s or so?) and if that Pope has a tumultuous rule that weakens the Vatican, then I might be impressed.
Here’s what the NY Post said:

From the NY Post from February:
What do you believe?
Experts are saying that French astrologist and soothsayer, Michel de Nostredame — or Nostradamus — may have already predicted Pope Francis’ death and successor.
Referred to as the “prophet of doom,” Nostradamus is believed by some to have foretold major world events such as the Great Fire of London, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the Sept. 11 attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic and last year’s New Years Day earthquake in Japan.
The latest of his vague and sometimes obvious predictions, which heretics have latched onto, is Pope Francis’ “critical condition.”
Back in the 16th century, Nostradamus wrote, “Through the death of a very old Pontiff… a Roman of good age will be elected. Of him it will be said that he weakens his see… but long will he sit and in biting activity.”
He then added, “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”
Pope Francis is currently on his 10th day of hospitalization for complications from a lung infection that has caused the early stages of kidney insufficiency, the Vatican said.
The 88-year-old is said to remain in critical condition, although “the night passed well” and he remains in good spirits.
Medical professionals have warned that his condition is unstable due to his age, fragility and pre-existing lung disease.
So we wait and see (no pun intended).
Will we get the Roman Pope described above?
Other alleged “prophesies” claim it will be a Black Pope.
Still other alleged “prophesies” claim Francis was the last Pope.
One thing’s for certain….not all of those can be right.
