Okay, from what I have read in this thread, this is more a debate about Sedevacantism rather than Speculation of the End Times. I have personally been influenced by Sedevacantists and Over-Traditionalists when I was still new to the Church. To mistrust a Pope is one thing, but to claim that Pope to be invalid, or even worse, the Anti-Christ is borderline Luther-Like, as he depicted the Pope in his day as the Anti-Christ. I believe a Pope cannot be an Anti-Christ simply for the reason that one that is Holy cannot be unholy at the same time. Sure, there are Popes that are bad, or at least in our eyes, but we must understand that the Church has not been infiltrated by “Freemasons” and that the Church is the same. John Michael Talbot once said in one of his podcasts that there is the Left of the Church and the Right of the Church. They are like legs, interchanging every so often, but the essence of the Church, or the centre body, moves forward and stays the same.
