No, the Catholic Church is not the anti-Christ. The Catholic Church is the first Christian Church and the only Church founded by Christ. The 'anti-Christ' propaganda is just another falsehood spread by the Father of Lies (Satan and those who would do his work)) to discredit the Church of Christ. Which should be no surprise, as Our Blessed Lord, Himself, prophesied that this would happen.
it's 666, Roman same as the Roman Catholics believe that this is Anti-christ. Anti-christ is Catholic.
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and is here to bring Christ to people and people to Christ. The Catholic Church, on the whole, treats individuals, not countries; and, as such, it is here to help individuals, not countries. Various organizations within the church, like some religious Orders, and some dioceses, have set up missions to help people in economically developed countries by giving them food and medicine, education and to try to protect them from the modern anti-life evangelists who are trying to contracept them out of existence.
The Catholic Church was the first Christian Church. It was never anything but Christian, although today's anti-Catholic rhetoric would make you think otherwise. The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ when he said, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church..."Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church IS the Christian Church established by God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and guided by His Holy Spirit. It has never been, and will never be anything else then the Mystical Body of Christ, and His Bride: the Christian Church.
Not the Anti-churchNo. The Catholic Church is not the anti-church. Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ. He guaranteed that it would be One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. He send the Holy Spirit to guide it and keep it from all error. The Catholic Church is the only Christian Church that was established by Jesus Christ, all the others were established by men many centuries later in protest against certain teachings. To think that it is the anti-Church or other such nonsense is to openly question God's Holy Word in establishing, and guaranteeing it until the end of time. The Catholic faith emanated from God from the beginning of time, and was established on earth definitively from the side of Jesus Christ on the cross outside of Jerusalem when He side was pierced by a spear, around 33 A.D.. Then it was shown to the world at Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit, fifty-three days later.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is divinely commissioned by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to spread His Gospel to all peoples. In other words, to offer them salvation, and a hope of heaven. The key is that they "offer". Where anyone would get the idea that they attempt to "force its belief on others" is completely beyond me. It sounds as if you have been listening to anti-Catholic propaganda. That is hate mongering, and an attempt by the devil to discredit Christ's Church. Something that He warned us about in the Scriptures numerous times.

No. The first pope to carry that title was an anti-pope.

It's a complex question, and you should check the online Catholic Encyclopedia. Originally one of the reasons the Catholic Church was anti-Masonic was that Masons are democratic. A current objection is that Masonry is a religion, and does not support the trinity. Masonry of course is not a religion, so the question of promoting one kind of religion is moot. Masonry is not anti-Catholic any more than the Lions or Rotary are, and many of its members are Roman Catholics.
