The Pope cannot be the Antichrist of Revelation because it is said there are many antichrists.....being those that do not believe in Jesus Chrst as the Son Of God.....
The Antichrist that is to come will be similar age of Jesus Christ ....this for certain because he will try to imitate Jesus Christ in everything......but doing all this with his mind set on destroying mankind ...
Whatever the Pope thinks of himself being is something he will have to deal with......only God knows his true intentions!
But to say that the Pope is the Antichrist of the end of times is wrong!
Wrong because he is not worshipped by all ...he is not capable of Miracles .....and he does not fit the Antichrist label of Ruling the world in Solomons yet to be built temple!
I guess the Pope and so many other clergy members will have to answer to God for all they do as we all have to........but making him the Antichrist yet to come ...I just don't see it....
I do beleive in what the Roman Catholic church say about Infallibility and the Pope....All power belongs to God only.
And all people ,whether they are Saints or Rightous have sinned!
We owe thanks to Jesus Christ for establishing the New Testament on earth......The living church is Jesus Christ...His body is the Church where we give thanks to and Jesus Christ established the church for all people to be One Body .....not many branches of the one Body.....
We have one body and two arms,legs,etc.....each does it's own function........the Church is one Body and that is Jesus Christ as the head of the Church......

Here is some info on how the Papacy is linked to the Sun cult of ancient Babylon, The below quote is from The Two Babylons - Alexander Hislop - Name of the Beast
------------
If we know the Apocalyptic name of the system, that will lead us to the name of the head of the system. The name of the system is "Mystery" (Rev 17:5). Here, then, we have the key that at once unlocks the enigma. We have now only to inquire what was the name by which
Nimrod was known as the god of the Chaldean Mysteries. That name, as we have seen, was Saturn. Saturn and Mystery are both Chaldean words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the Hidden god. *
* In the Litany of the Mass, the worshippers are taught thus to pray: "God Hidden, and my Saviour, have mercy upon us." (M'GAVIN'S Protestant) Whence can this invocation of the "God Hidden" have come, but from the ancient worship of Saturn, the "Hidden God"? As the Papacy has canonised the Babylonian god by the name of St. Dionysius, and St. Bacchus, the "martyr," so by this very name of "Satur" is he also enrolled in the calendar; for March 29th is the festival of "St. Satur," the martyr. (CHAMBER'S Book of Days)
To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was hidden. Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus--Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:--
S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200
-------------
666
If the Pope is, as we have seen, the legitimate representative of Saturn, the number of the Pope, as head of the Mystery of Iniquity, is just 666. But still further it turns out, as shown above, that the original name of Rome itself was Saturnia, "the city of Saturn." This is vouched alike by Ovid, by Pliny, and by Aurelius Victor.
Thus, then, the Pope has a double claim to the name and number of the beast.
ROMULUS was the first king of Rome and it was after him that the city of Rome and later the Roman Empire was named. The Greek name for Romulus was LATEINOS. This name in Hebrew is ROMITH. In Greek the name Lateinos works out as follows:
L = 30
A = 1
T = 300
E = 5
I = 10
N = 50
O = 70
S = 200
Total 666
He is the only legitimate representative of the original Saturn at this day in existence, and he reigns in the very city of the seven hills where the Roman Saturn formerly reigned; and, from his residence in which, the whole of Italy was "long after called by his name," being commonly named "the Saturnian land." But what bearing, it may be said, has this upon the name Lateinos, which is commonly believed to be the "name of the beast"?

The false prophet and the antichrist are 2 different people. The pope is already slotted to be the false prophet. And the best candidate right now for the antichrist is Prince Charles, although only time will tell.........
Milkro......Sunday worship isn't the mark of the beast, that makes no sense whatsoever. Absolutely ridiculous.

Micro........ Prayer to a saintly person does not mean we WORSHIP them........all that is done is INTERCEDE on our behalf........and this practise of prayers to the Saints or prophets of God was actually practised in the Old Testament......and it is used today within the Juidism Religion!!!
The prayer of a rightous man availeth much!!!
Prayers to God is good........but if we as mere humans with sin ask for the help of the Saints because they are not DEAD but alive with Jesus Christ.........
''His Saints that are in His land the Lord has magnified''[Ps 15, 3]
When the Archangel came to tell the virgin Mary about the birth, the Archangel called her '''full of grace'' and '' blessed among women'' ......
The Saints or the Mother of God (theotokos) are not considered semi-gods but Intercessors on our behalf!
Memorial Services on behalf of the dead is in the Old Testament. In 11 Maccabees 12, 43 ,]
Judas Maccabees is portrayed as offering sacrifice for those who have fallen in battle, for their atonement and for the foregiveness of their sins. .........
