ANTICHRIST

  1. Who is a liar, but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son., I John 18:22  By the heresies signed in at Vatican II, Montini denied the Father and the Son.
   2. II Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.  The Pope as head of the Catholic Church sits in the Temple of God and is honored.  Montini kept all of the trappings of the Papacy, while rejecting their substance.  His successors elimianted the trappings, since they are his servants
  3. II Thessalonians 2:9-10 him whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders: and in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  Those who do not love the truths of the Catholic Faith were deceived by Vatican II.
   4. Apocalypse 13:5-6: And who shall be able to fight him?  And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.  And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His Name and His Tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven.  Heresy is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.
   5. Apocalypse 13:7 And it was given unto him to make way with the saints and to overcome them.  Montini warred against anyone who defended the truths of the Catholic Faith.
   6. Apocalypse 13:7 And power was given to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. Claiming to be Pope, Montini claimed authority over all on earth.
   7. Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints and prevailed over them.  ... And he will speak words against the High One and shall crush the saints of the most High.  See explanations above.
    8. Daniel 7:25 And he shall think himself able to change times and laws: and they shall be delivered into his hands until a time and times and half a time.. Montini changed the calendar of the Church, so that it no longer resembles the Catholic calendar.
    9. Daniel 8:11-12: And it was magnified even to the prince of strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice and cast down the place of his sanctuary.  And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.  By instituting the Novus Ordo Missae, Montini eliminated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
  10. Daniel 11:30-31,36: And the galley and the Romans shall come upon him: and he shall be struck and shall return and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary.  And he shall succeed: and he shall return and shell devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.  And arms shall stand on his part and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength and shall take away the continual sacrifice: and they shall place there the abomination of desolation. ... And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods and shall prosper till the wrath be accomplished.  For the determination is made. (See 9)
     11. And here is wisdom.  He that hath understanding, let him count he number of the beast.  For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. , Apocalypse 13:18  Montini is intimately connected with the number 666.

There are two objections to identifying John the Baptist Montini as Antichrist.
1. Montini did not perform miracles.  Read Apocalypse 13 well.  There are two beasts.  The first, Antichrist, does NOT PERFORM MIRACLES, whereas the second beast, who is yet to come, does.
2. Montini did not kill Enoch and Elias, the two witnesses of Apocalypse 11.
Apocalypse 11:7-10: And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.  And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt: where their Lord also was crucified.
Those that hold Montini to have been Antichrist attempt to explain this in many ways.  One is that Enoch and Elias were Pope Pius V and Pius X, which Montini killed, by killing their Catholic doctrine and the Rite of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  However, there is a simpler explanation.  This is the only place where there is reference to the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss.  Is it possible that the second beast of Apocalypse 13 is the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss? 

To look for a future Antichrist denies the clear teaching of Sacred Scripture.  The main point is that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has already been taken away.  The only way to attribute this to a future man is to take on a position similar to the Protestants.  Since the Protestants reject the Mass, they require the Jewish temple to be rebuilt, so Antichrist can remove the recently restored sacrifices.  For Catholics someone would have to restore the Mass, so the future antichrist could remove it AGAIN. 
Rome ... will become the seat of Antichrist. (Our Lady of La Salette)
