That is weird. And I for one have been thinking these age-old conspiratorial ideas about popes being against Jesus/God may be accurate after Francis spewed forth in the past week...

If you have a Concordance, look up the Word ‘anti’..

It need not be used as ‘opposed to’ or ‘against’ like we understand today.

But, it can be used to mean ‘instead of’ or ‘in place of’. Strongs #473

Like an enemy without (like athiests,islam and frankly Rabbinic Judaism given 1 John 2:22)

Or an enemy within
(1 John 2:18-19 and 1 John 4:1-3)

Here’s the rub- has Rome been a vessel to bring a substitute ‘in place of’ Christ, a false Christ, to life?

A substitute Jesus or is Rome just trying to be God?
