I believe I read somewhere recently that a Catholic Cardinal had commented that the anti-Christ is alive and walking the earth, and is about 40 years old, if my memory serves me right.

I have read that also ..

Here is something else to ponder .. There are other site out there .. this just happen to be one I found

Prophecies of St Malachy---Concerning the Popes

Does the anti-Christ age? He was about 40 when. A date of when the Cardinal said this would help - not just recenly.

I have always just assumed that because he is an imitation Christ that he would come to power at the age of 33. How would one know what his age will be?

Thanks for the link...You know, after posting last night, i went on Yahoo and did a search on "Is the anti-Christ alive?" or something like that, and I linked to what appeared to be (I didn't delve too deeply), an orthodox Catholic site (claiming obedience to the See of Rome) that listed exerpts from various Sts. prophesies, as well as a bunch of other stuff "end of the world" related. One thing in particular that I found very useful, and which I've been looking for online for quite awhile, was the Examination of Conscience in preparation for the sacrament of Confession, as printed in the back of these old missals I used in my old Tridentine parish back in Huntington Beach, Calif. It's a great way of doing a checklist to think of all the sins that might not pop up in your head when you go to Confession, which is something that I frequently do (that is, forget certain sins). Not that they're not all forgiven if you forget some, but it's still a good idea to really search your conscience to get them all out, so to speak, verbally. I'll see if I can't re-discover that Web site and post it back to you.

I have to confess, I'm always really intrigued by anti-Christ and apocalypse type Catholic materials. I try not to get too carried away with it, but it's still really interesting to me. Thanks again for the link. I'll check it out.

Fascinating read on St. Malachy. I linked through to the Bible Code..What do you think of all that hubbub? The site said that it had rolled back a previous estimate of 2002 to 2003 as the beginning for the End Times events. It also was talking about the year 5757, which translated to our calendar from Jewish years, equals 2005 or something. Which made me wonder about the code and its ability to predict Rabin's assassination and date of assassination -- was the date in Jewish or Western form?
