Could the Catholic church be The Antichrist?

Answer 1

Not likely. Economics is a better candidate. We all believe that economics is more important than ethics or indeed anything else; we all serve the economy without question; and the UPC bar code could well be the Mark of the Beast, without which nothing may be bought or sold.

Catholic ChurchOf course not, the Catholic Church is the only religion that was started by Our Lord and Savior. He founded it on the Apostle Peter, and his successors (see St. Matthew 16:17-19). It was then formed from His Body when It was pierced by a lance on the cross, and Blood and Water flowed out. The Church was then confirmed by the Holy Spirit and manifested to the world fifty-three days later at Pentecost. In other words, the Catholic Church was decreed by God, created by Our Blessed Lord, who guaranteed It as His Mystical Body (read St. Paul) and guided by the Holy Spirit. Our Blessed Lord guaranteed that there would only be One Church, and It would be Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, and would remain as the only sure way of salvation until the end of the world. To accuse Our Blessed Lord of failing in His Promises is basically to call God the Antichrist, and thus is to be led by the Evil One.

Answer 2

No, it most certainly is not. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Our Blessed Lord, and His Bride. It was established by Our Blessed Lord, Himself, who appointed St. Peter to be the first Vicar on earth. This was well established in the Old Testament and the Kingdom of Israel. On establishing the Church, Our Blessed Lord made a few predictions and promises. One, He promised to be with It until the end of time, 2) He promised to send the Holy Spirit to guide it in all truth, 3) He predicted that It would be hated by all men as It would preach His name. To ask such a question is to prove Our Blessed Lord's last point, is it not? Answer this question...
