"[Satan] will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.”
We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.
The False prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.
Christ’s Church, the Catholic Church, will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.
The False Church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.
A world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content, it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from our Bishops.
The Antichrist will not be so called; otherwise he would have no followers. He will not wear red tights, nor vomit sulphur, nor carry a trident nor wave an arrowed tail as Mephistopheles in Faust.
This masquerade has helped the Devil convince men that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. God has defined Himself as “I am Who am,” and the Devil as “I am who am not.”
Nowhere in Sacred Scripture do we find warrant for the popular myth of the Devil as a buffoon who is dressed like the first “red.” Rather is he described as an angel fallen from heaven, as “the Prince of this world,” whose business it is to tell us that there is no other world. His logic is simple: if there is no heaven there is no hell; if there is no hell, then there is no sin; if there is no sin, then there is no judge, and if there is no judgment then evil is good and good is evil. But above all these descriptions, Our Lord tells us that he will be so much like Himself that he would deceive even the elect–and certainly no devil ever seen in picture books could deceive even the elect. How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion?
The pre-Communist Russian belief is that he will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves …
The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion–one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God’s.
In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect.
He will set up a counterchurch, which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will, in all externals, resemble the mystical body of Christ …
But the twentieth century will join the counterchurch because it claims to be infallible when its visible head speaks ex cathedra from Moscow on the subject of economics and politics and as chief shepherd of world communism.

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
Amen. @LeaderJohnThune - and @LindseyGrahamSC
Here are some options to pass the SAVE America Act through the Senate via reconciliation:
1. Get in writing an opinion from the parliamentarian that the SAVE America Act can be put into reconciliation and does not violate the Byrd Rule. OR
2 Fire the parliamentarian OR
3. Repeal the Byrd Rule altogether OR
Do all of the above.
But stop making up nonsense saying the bill can be put into reconciliation because that’s not true.
Just stay the course, stay on the bill and stay focused on PASSAGE. @BasedMikeLee@chiproytx@EIwatchdogs@EricLDaugh@DataRepublican@LindseyGrahamSC
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Trump talks about Iran all day when he doesn't have control of GOP House & Senate.
He talks about "taking" Greenland but he hasn't even taken CIA/FBI/DOJ/NSA yet.
He forgets to do the fundamentals.
He does 10,000 irrelevant things but ignores the big thing: color revolution.
What will happen in 2026?
I don’t know but what I want 2026 to be known as is;
The Year of Accountability.
Because the American people DEMAND transparency and accountability!
Thank you @shipwreckshow for articulating what millions and millions of Americans want.
@realDonaldTrump
Can you see the real enemy?
Do you live as if Christ is real?
This week's episode: The First Organized Crime Syndicate: Lucifer's Mafia and the Cosmic Turf War.
Charlie Kirk was an incredible person and a tremendous loss but i simply disagree with this.
The breakdown in MAGA is not a result of his death. The breakdown in MAGA is 100% because of the failure of the administration to do what it said it would. The GOP was voted in to put America first and Trump was the de facto king of that concept. The crooks Trump has hired and the rest of the GOP:
- Just sent another $800 million to Ukraine.
- They’ve failed to prosecute anyone important
- Lied endlessly about Epstein demonstrating their support for a broken justice system while similarly screaming endlessly about crooked judges that they also refuse to do anything about.
- Continued to support the mRNA jabs and people like Gates and Bourla.
- Enacted universal digital IDs
And more. The right isn’t coming apart because of the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. The right is simply being divided into those that value true MAGA and America First policies and those that care more about profit and access than truth.
This isn’t division is simply exposure resulting from corruption. I’m praying Trump steps up and fixes the situation… he’s the only one that can. @GenFlynn@laralogan
President Trump @potus@realDonaldTrump
Please go yourself to the prison unjustly holding Tina Peters with federal law enforcement and remove her
Tina is there because she wanted to prove that the 2020 election was stolen from you
President Trump,
The thread to which Dr. Byrne refers in this post below is exculpatory on EVERY SINGLE LEVEL of the National Security breach which lead to the election fraud that stole the 2020 election.
You have the power to PARDON TINA PETERS.
Your attorney Peter Ticktin has laid out every detail in the thread addressed in the tweet below.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO ACT?
A national hero lay freezing, sick and dying in a Colorado state prison, all to prove you won. Is that not reason enough?
If she dies in there it will ALL be on your hands.
Please, for love of country, our republic and for a gold star mom who upheld the federal election law that honors America and YOU, issue the pardon TODAY!
Signed,
Ann Vandersteel, one of We the People

@Pontifex If the bishops remain silent in the face of this evil, think about the faithful who go to church and give their money, knowingly/unknowingly helping to build an evil community that spreads the LGBTQ agenda. Reflect on your baptismal calling and urge them to stop this evil.
