WHAT...and WHY?
Because socialism bypasses all religious norms of all religions and can unite nominal Christians, Muslims, and Jews, and liberals. The only people cannot unite are conservatives and Bible believing and obedient Christians. It is basically belief system that allows the world to unite, yet supposedly have differences.
Revelations has prophecied that the First Beast would be the RC church. Now, to clarify, I’m not saying the RC church has always been the First Beast. It did a lot to preserve Christianity and God’s Word. I’m saying for it to become the First Beast, it had to become a heretical church.
Under Francis, I think we can say the RC church has become heretical. It is no longer a traditional church, but a socialist one. As a socialist church, it will lead the world to accepting socialism, which is a substitute form of Christianity. One of the meanings of AntiChrist means to replace Christ.
