St. Malachy was born in Ireland in 1094 and was ordained a priest in 1109 at 25. He went to Rome in 1139 to deliver an account of his diocese to Pope Innocent 11.While there he had visions of the future lineage of Holy Fathers yet to be confirmed in conclave. Was the record of his prophecies by Arnold Wion titled LIGNUM VITAE accurate or the ramblings of a dillusional man?
