"And the prophecy most necessary today is that of faithfulness" - and that is supposed to mean...?

That doesn't make sense - it's like saying "And the cheese most necessary today is that of a Drambuie". Drambuie is a Scotch whisky, not a cheese - while faithfulness is very important, it is not a species of prophecy. Any more than green is a species of triangle.

It looks very much as though something has been lost in translation... - the question is, what ?

That doesn't make sense - it's like saying "And the cheese most necessary today is that of a Drambuie".

The heart of prophecy is the proclamation, or forth-telling, of the Gospel and the truth. To publicly demonstrate one's faithfulness to God and the Church is, then, an act of prophetic witness, a lived proclamation of the Gospel. The Holy Father's remarks made me think of what St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians about receiving the Eucharist, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes" (1 Cor. 11:26). It is also very much in keeping with what John the Revelator states at the beginning of The Apocalypse: "Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein..." (Rev. 1:3). Being faithful--that is, keeping the words entrusted to the Church by Christ--is an act of prophetic witness.
