Well, if it makes you feel any better, we no longer officially take the position that the Pope is the Antichrist.


:O

If you don’t mind me asking, who’s we?

who’s we?

Those who subscribe to the Westminster Confession. The original version from 1636 contained this paragraph in Chapter 25, "VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.

The current version used in most American churches has been toned down to this,"6. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof."

Of course, the prohibition against intermarriage with Catholics remains.
