Father P. J. DeSmet, S. J., recently called his attention in connection with articles in the Journal dealing with the Prophecy of Orval, to a series of interesting articles entitled "Des Propheties en Vogue" in the "Precis Historiques" edited by Father Terwecoren, S. J. The "Precis Historiques" is an authority in itself, but these articles can afford to rest on their own merit. They demonstrate that the phophecy of Orval and the so-called prediction of St. Malachi in relation to the Popes are impostures. That of Orval was admitted to be a forgery by the impostors who got it up. The Superior of the Order to whom Orval was said to belong testifies that there never was a religious of that name in the order. The recent Prophecy of Bolis is also shown up. He will translate these articles for publication if McMaster wishes. The circulation of False prophecies seems hateful as being a sin against the Holy Ghost. He himself believed in the Prophecy of St. Malachi and have been interested in this exposure. To give it circulation is a most religious work. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
