Pope Pius X said Antichrist may already be among us

What do you make of these words of Pope Saint Pius X about the Antichrist?

File:PiusX, Bain.jpg

 

They are part of the first enclyical that he wrote after becoming Pope.

“Who can fail to see that society is at the present time, more than in any past age, suffering from a terrible and deep-rooted malady which, developing every day and eating into its inmost being, is dragging it to destruction? You understand, Venerable Brethren, what this disease is—apostasy from God… When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the world the ‘Son of Perdition’ [Antichrist] of whom the Apostle speaks.”

Pope St. Pius X, E Supremi, Encyclical On the Restoration of All Things in Christ, n. 3, 5; October 4th, 1903.

  1. He's talking about the Great Antichrist. We have had many antichrists among us, Mohammed being one and Joseph Smith another leading people astray from the truth. And all protestant leaders starting another "church" at every whim. Most of those being ones led astray, however.
    This Pope's time was after Pope Leo XIII had his locution and the devil was given reighn to try to take over humanity and the church -catholic I'm sure. If Pope Pius X could only know how much the world has fallen since that time, he would take back his statement, realizing the times then were pretty holy considering what we have going on today -and all the wars...! But could they get much worse than today? Maybe. Russian and German people were afraid to speak their mind, we can at least do that yet. America is the last country to fall, are we going to let that happen??
    PRAY, PRAY PRAY is what the BVM is saying,
    Take her lead and do more of it!
    PLEASE GOD HELP US!!!
