For those of you who have been pondering the meaning of MDS's prophecies, I feel I have finally deduced the answer.
MDS has become a Catholic, and he is planning to usurp the position of Pope in the Fall of 2001.
Think about it. The Pope is old, and rumors have it that his health is not all that great. The number of Catholics is somewhere around 200 million (isn't that the number of the Gentiles MDS has spoken about so frequently?)
It all fits.
