To supplement the quotes from various church leaders that we heard yesterday regarding the times of the Antichrist, we add, from a prophetic perspective, a passage from the revelations of the Virgin Mary to Don Stefano Gobbi of the Marian Priestly Movement: “The beast with two horns, resembling a lamb, signifies Freemasonry infiltrated within the […]

Everything we have heard in the previous meditations on the Antichrist clearly shows just how dangerous the anti-Christian spirit is for humanity. It is the devil’s most tenacious—and perhaps final—attempt to extend his dominion over the world, subjugate it, and be worshiped by mankind. God permits these trials and includes them in His plan of

As his name suggests, the Antichrist will present himself as an imitator of the Redeemer. Yet he will attempt to hide his deep aversion and hostility toward Christ. He may even quote the Gospel, emphasizing passages that refer to human needs in order to give the impression that he is motivated by Christian charity and

Today we’ll take a look at another book that addresses the topic of the Antichrist. Like Robert Benson, Michael O’Brien—an author who is still alive—presents his apocalyptic narrative in the form of a novel. The main character of his trilogy is a Jewish convert who becomes a Catholic priest: Father Elias.

Preliminary remarks After recently exploring the topic of self-deception and some common deceptions in the world and in the Church, it is now appropriate to begin a series of meditations on the Antichrist and the spirit through which he will act. I have already addressed this topic in several publications, and in 2020 I wrote

Isa 10:5-7,13-16 Thus says the Lord: Woe to Assyria, rod of my anger, the club in their hands is my fury! I was sending him against a godless nation, commissioning him against the people who enraged me, to pillage and plunder at will and trample on them like the mud in the streets. But this

One of the luminaries in the ecclesiastical firmament—as we might call the saints—is St. Bonaventure. His feast day is celebrated on July 14 in the old rite, and one day later in the new rite. The saint was a man who possessed rich gifts of intellect and spirit and devoted them entirely to the Kingdom
