All this talk I've heard about the anti-christ sometimes seems to be like riddles. One time it sounds like someone is talking about an individual and at other times it seems like someone is talking about a force or policy of many individuals doing something contrary to what Christ might believe in and thus be acting as the anti-christ. For instance in the last part of the one link, a reference is made to protecting life from conception to death. If supporting that is supporting pacifism, then I might be that way. I've heard about 40,000,000 people (that's 40 million) were killed in the US due to this policy in the last few decades. I think that is simply a referal to abortion taking the lives of the unborn who didn't get a chance to argue for their right to live. That is a big number but none of them are around to argue the point. I wouldn't be surprised if 40 million is a small number compared to the number killed in China. I think if that is the message of anti-christ the Catholic church is trying to convey it's lost on the general public. Most people don't seem to care if 40 million died in the US alone. Perhaps the spirit of anti-christ is alive and well.

Then I heard something long ago that a relative told me that she keeps track of the age of the anti-christ by knowing my age. She told me the Catholic church put out some information saying the anti-christ was born in 1966 and that made it seem like an individual. I speculated and wondered about 6-6-66. Talk about putting unknown doubt into someone as a kid. Ever wonder if something strange happened to you if you might be the anti-christ? I'm a meat eater and enjoy a good steak so I guess that rules me out. Of course if I visited some countries where I can't stand the food, I might suddenly become a vegetarian and tell people that. If people don't know you, there's a good chance they'll believe you. I mean so many people believe there is an anti-christ that will be popular and help the world. Something about that doesn't seem to make sense.
I don't know though, could it be Gore?

The use of the concept of the "antichrist" is a weapon.
It's a weapon that makes people turn on each other and sell them out so that they appear as "good pious god-fearing" people.
So go ahead, go ahead and start pointing your finger at everyone.
Everyone is an antichrist.
You are all being used.

Sorry, that's just how I see it.









The Antichrist - Written by Samael Aun Weor

"Dazzling Intellectualism, as the manifested functionalism of the psychological "I," is without a doubt the Antichrist.

Those who suppose that the Antichrist is a strange personage born somewhere on the Earth or coming from this or that country are certainly completely mistaken.

We have emphatically stated that the Antichrist is definitely not a particular person, but all people.
Obviously, the Antichrist itself exists deep within each person and expresses itself in many ways.
Intellect which is placed in the service of the Spirit is useful; intellect which is divorced from the Spirit becomes useless.
Villains arise from intellectualism without spirituality: a vivid manifestation of the Antichrist. Obviously, the villain, in and for itself, is the Antichrist.
Unfortunately, the world today with all its tragedies and miseries is governed by the Antichrist. The state of Chaos in which modern humanity finds itself is undoubtedly due to the Antichrist.
The iniquitous one, of which Paul of Tarsus spoke in his Epistles, is certainly the harsh reality of our times. The iniquitous one is already here. It manifests itself everywhere; it certainly has the gift of ubiquity.

It argues in cafes, negotiates at the United Nations, sits comfortably in Geneva, conducts experiments in laboratories, invents atomic bombs, remote-controlled missiles, asphyxiating gases, bacteriological bombs, etc., etc., etc...."

So I take it from those quotes that anyone who isn't a Christian is the Anti-Christ?

So exactly how many anti-Christs are there supposed to be?

Nope. Renegade Bishops do it all the time and they definately DO NOT represent the church. Heck ... Bishops even make statements against each other. So when bishops contradict each other then which one is representing the church officially? Nuns, priests, bishops all make PERSONAL OPINIONS and statements that run contrary to church teaching all the time. They obviously do not represent the church's official opinion and neither does Cardinal Biffi.

They are people and they are allowed personal opinions. The Pope is allowed personal opinions and no Catholic is ever required to listen to or follow personal opinoin. Only doctrine.

Hate to rain on your parade, but it's time for a new marching band.


I have absolutely no idea what that means. Is that just some anti-Catholic jargon??

The FACTS here - Cardinal Biffi has made numerous personal opinions and statements that say he believes the anti-christ is alive and well today; that he is a philanthropist; an ecumenicalist; and a peace-nik. (oh, and probably a vegetarian ) Pope Benedict most likely shares his views because his good friend Pope John Paul II made some similar statements AND because Pope Benedict asked this priest to give the retreat, which signals what the pope is thinking about.

However, this is NOT an official statement of any kind and when ever a priest makes a personal opinion that doesn't mean the church sanctions it at all.

Determining the number of antiChrists:

AC = (bcw^1.2 - c) *666 + d

where:

AC = antiChrist
bcw = amount of "boy who cried wolf" incidients at the present point in time
c = number of times that bcw was initiated by a cardinal
d = How many drinks the Pope had with lunch on the day.

waiting on response from Vatican scholars to confirm its validity.
