The deterioration of Pope Francis’ health has sparked a wave of discussions and conspiracy theories circulating on social media and various media outlets. Many of these theories are linked to a famous episode from the animated series The Simpsons, which, according to some, predicted the Pope’s death in 2025. In this episode from last year, which is often forgotten by the public, there is a scene where a coffin is placed at the center of St. Peter’s Basilica, surrounded by silent cardinals. Additionally, a flag of the Vatican is at half-mast, and a large screen shows the exact moments of the Pope’s death, providing a very somber and emotional tone to this important event.
The episode continues with a chilling message, suggesting that a severe bronchitis is the cause of the Pope’s passing, further increasing tension and panic. After the news spreads, large crowds gather in St. Peter’s Square, where people pray and hold candles. Amid this uncertainty, Lisa searches through a library and finds an ancient book with a troubling title: “The End of a Cycle, 2025.” This part of the episode raises even more fear and doubt among viewers, suggesting that perhaps The Simpsons have predicted an event that could happen in reality.
In fact, The Simpsons are well-known for their predictions that have come true in real life, often in strange and unexpected ways. These predictions have included events like the outbreak of the Coronavirus, Neymar’s injury, the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and many others. All these events were mentioned in episodes of the show well before they occurred, making fans wonder if there is more to it than just coincidence. This has created a conspiracy atmosphere, raising suspicions that the show might be a predictor of real-world events.
Another well-known episode is from 1998, titled “The Last Day of Springfield,” where the city experiences a total shutdown. There are no vehicles moving, no electricity, no cell phone signals, and no nuclear energy. This episode has been reinterpreted by fans as a warning for the possibility of a future collapse of energy infrastructure. In another episode from 2023, Mr. Burns mentions a very specific date, February 28, 2025, warning that there will be no more energy after that date. This has led fans to speculate that a major energy failure might occur around that time, tying yet another conspiracy theory to the show.
To conclude, there have also been other theories linked to famous people. One of them involves rapper Puff Daddy (later known as Diddy), who has been involved in serious accusations, including connections with other celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez. An episode of The Simpsons seems to have predicted events related to this case, further adding to the tension and interest among fans.
In the end, The Simpsons have become a symbol of a kind of “foresight” of predictions, and fans are increasingly looking for connections between the show’s episodes and real-world events. While some might think it’s just coincidence, others are convinced that the show has a unique ability to predict the future.
