This corresponds to the last pope motto strangely Malachi did not list like the other 111 previous popes. Their motto is the most extensive, detailed and descriptive, thus indicating that the latter course would not equal papacy none of the above and would face extraordinary events not occurred since the beginning of the church. Malachi stated in the motto that the church would be persecuted as in the days of the Roman emperors. The slogan reads:
