Antichrist (De Controversiis)

Description

ch. 13 (ref:18.1) "On the Seat of Antichrist" is very interesting; he proves (ref:18.11ff.) that Antichrist will rule "in the temple of God" (2 Thes. 2:4) in Jerusalem, not Rome.

cf. the Catholic commentaries on 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (that Antichrist "sitteth in the temple of God"), which seem support the possibility of a pope apostatizing (somewhat related: Fr. Herman Kramer Book of Destiny (1955) on the precursor to Antichrist (Apoc. 12:1-5), which seems to support extended papal interregnum/sedevacantism).

cf. Fr. John O'Connor, O.P's 1987 sermon on the Antichrist
