The Church’s ‘ultimate trial’
An intriguing paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I have often pondered, is #675: “The Church’s ultimate trial.

The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.”
