does the catholic church still believe in the antichrist as prophesised in the book of revelations?

Answer 1

Yes.

The Catholic Church teaches:

Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. (Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12)

The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth (Lk 21:12; Jn 15:19-20) will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth.

The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh. (2 Th 2:4-12; I Th 5:2-3; 2 Jn 7; I Jn 2:1 8-22)

The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgement.

The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism, especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.

The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection. (Rev 19:1-9.)

The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven. (Rev 13:8; 20:7-10; 21:2-4.)

God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgement after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world. (Rev 20:12, 2 Pt 3:12-13)

With love in Christ.

Adventists are authentic Christian human beings like in the different church however the Catholic church says they seem to be a Cult..... probable because of the fact they do unlike Adventists. Catholicism began whilst the Roman empire have been given tired of killing Christians.... and so on whilst Christianity grew in inhabitants killing them replaced into no longer an determination to any extent further, so what they did replaced into to create a Church based in Rome ( Catholic Roman ) with a bother-free chief call the Pope that has been a Roman itself until this Century. you will in no way locate interior the Bible that the Pope or Peter had a undeniable ministry to Christian different than given to all Apostles and Christians in many cases... you may understand that at that factor whilst the Catholic church replaced into born, the Emperor and over a million/2 Rome worshiped the sunlight so they did substitute the seventh day Sabbath or Saturday who's 4th interior the ten commandments for the Sunday and additionally you would be able to work out the sunlight in paints and collectible figurines on maximum of historical Rome Catholic Cathedrals... Do your guy or woman learn and don't think a be conscious the Roman Church says approximately Adventist and something.... The understand God ( the Bible) could be sufficient to allow you recognize each and every of the fact, study it!

The Anti-Christ for the Catholics is a word for any sociopath like Hitler or Saddam Hussein that would try to rule the world alone and glorify himself to be the leader of a New World Order. This was greatly influenced by the writings of Nostradamus, a considered modern Prophet by the Christians specially by the Catholics because of his religious affinity.
They demonized the word Anti-Christ in the early period because since the New Testament was written by believers of Jesus Christ they only tried to use that word against those who oppose to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In these modern days, they have to use it to anyone I described above as a sociopath because Hitler was a Catholic and Saddam Hussein was a Muslim who also believed in Jesus Christ as a great prophet.
In reality however, both Hitler and Hussein were anti-Jew not Anti-Christ. Are you not sensing a misinformation there?
Osama Bin Laden is another man on the list being taken as anti-Christ, but you have to consider that his hatred of the western influence was not necessarily the western ways of life but more on his outrage against the west who have not tried hard enough to resolve the Middle East crisis in favor of the Palestinians. Clearly he is an anti-Jew and again not an anti-Christ.
In the Book of Revelation, if you are to interpret with wisdom and understanding, in the Prophesies about the Beast, it actually convey a self-destruct messages to the religions that embrace its teachings. Moreso, if you are able to connect all the messages of the Prophets of the Old Testament like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel, Amos and Habbakuk.
All the mysteries of God have already been given to His Prophets and even the modern day Prophet will only have to pick up all the important messages from them to find how the world have been deceived by the devil...www.thename.ph

Answer 5

The term Antichrist appears only in the first and second epistles of John. It is clearly a term symbolic of the forces working against Christ in all periods of history, not a clue about a specific individual. If someone observed, “Every family has skeletons in the closet,” you would miss the point if you started searching the hallway closet!

Answer 6

I think the church would like for the world to forget about the Antichrist.

Answer 7

If you read the 'Vicars of Christ', by Peter De Rosa, and compared it with the 'Great Whore' in the book of Revelation, you wouldn't be too worried about what the Roman Catholic Church believes in or not.

Answer 8

In general, the Catholic Church does not dwell on end-time prophesies. Jesus said that only the father knows the day and hour and that we are to be ready when He comes again.

Answer 9

Yes and the antichrists from ! John.

Answer 10

The anti-christ personified will be a man of peace who would be able to deceive even the elect if he could.
That is if he was personfied.
Your guess is as good as mine.
