As a Protestant, the Anti-Christ will be a well known figure who commands both secular and religious deference. The Anti-Christ will claim powers equal to God. The Pope forgives sins. And Mark 7:9 And He said unto them, “Full well ye reject the commandments of God, that ye may keep your own tradition”. And the Catholic Church does really really hold fast to traditions NOT in the Bible. I don’t know. I’m straddling the fence here.
