Riassunto

The sequence of events as foretold is by no means certain. Public prophecy. ceased with the death of St. John the Apostle. Private prophecy, even if received from God, is not reliable because the prophet is fallible. He can forget, misunderstand or misinterpret. Even when he does not err those who hear him and who transmit the message can err.So when we state here that this seems to be the general sequence of things foretold, it is largely merely a private opinion.1.
