With today’s meditation, we come to the end of the list of serious deviations within the Church that reveal the influence of the anti-Christian spirit.

We have yet to mention the unhealthy rejection of the Holy Mass in its traditional rite, as it was celebrated for so many centuries. This rejection became evident in various statements and measures during the last pontificate, particularly in the Motu Proprio Traditiones Custodes. Thus, Pope Benedict XVI’s intention to allow the Tridentine Mass to receive the respect and practice it deserves was largely thwarted. Read More

When considering whether the Church, or rather its current leadership, is under the influence of the Antichrist, I noted the public veneration of Pachamama in the Vatican Gardens and St. Peter’s Basilica as a deeply troubling first sign. I mentioned this example in yesterday’s meditation because it is the most illustrative, standing in stark contrast to what God entrusted to his people in the Old Testament and to the mission entrusted to the Church. How many martyrs shed their blood for refusing to sacrifice to idols? An act of idolatry in the Vatican is so absurd that one cannot help but wonder what kind of blindness has spread for something like this to happen. Read More

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 Church; that is, ecclesiastical Freemasonry, which has spread above all among the members of the hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration within the Church has already been foretold to you by Me at Fatima, when I announced that Satan would penetrate even to the very summit of the Church. Read More

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 salvation, for nothing happens without our Lord’s knowledge and without His commanding it in accordance with His will. Read More

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 to present himself as a defender of justice and mercy. In reality, he will offer a kind of “intraworldly gospel” that denies God’s transcendence and humanity’s need for redemption. He will carefully conceal his satanic mission: to achieve global domination and enter the temple of God to usurp His place (cf. Mt 24:15). Read More
