When Archduke Karl of Austria had a private audience with Pope St. Pius X, the pope said prophetically, " I bless Archduke Karl, who will be the future Emperor of Austria and who will help lead his countries and people to great honor and many blessings - but this will not become obvious until after his death" When Karol Józef Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II was born in 1920, his father named him after the Emperor Karl, out of admiration for his Emperor who he served under. One day, Father Geggerle ( who was tutoring the young Karl) was speaking to the head of the school of the Ursuline Institute . Her name was mother Maria Vicentia, who was known to have the stigmata. She told Father Geggerle, "Yes, you have to pray a lot for him, because he will one day be Emperor and he will have to suffer a lot. He will be a special target of Hell."
