Ann Barnhardt can sometimes be a little “over the top,” but she’s basically right. She had a good article a few days ago saying that now we have not only an anti-pope but an anti-Church, meaning a parallel and false Church existing side by side with the real Church.

“Anti-pope” is a term that does not refer to heresy or schism, but the proclamation of a pope (in this case, Francis) while the See of Peter is already occupied (in this case, by Benedict). It has happened before in the Church, mostly because of Italian or European political conflicts, and is usually resolved without too much damage to the Church since the situation is generally not theologically based.

However, this time I think we have someone who is consciously an anti-pope, has political and heretical theological motivations, and is trying to build an anti-Church in the shell of the real Church. This also requires driving out any supporters of the true Pope and the true Church, as we see happening now.

There may be a second wave of Protestantism. The current (unofficial) doctrine of the Catholic Church seems to be Marxism and Perversion. I think a lot of good Catholics are itching to protest that and initiate internal reform.
