The MHFM in Relation to the Antichrist
In the Gospel According to Saint John it is written:
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come.” - 1 St John 2:18
St. John’s reference to “many antichrists” has been described by the church as indicating, in general terms, “apostates”, “heretics” and/or “schismatics” who are the proven enemies of Christ and his church and the servants / forerunners of the great end-times Antichrist.
The word "Antichrist" combines two roots: αντί (anti) + Χριστός (Khristos). "Αντί" can mean not only "against" and "opposite of", but also "in place of"
Pope Pius X in his 1903 “E Supremi Apostolatus” stated: “While, on the other hand, and this according to the same apostle [St. Paul] is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of God.”
Using the above definition and description of Antichrist and reviewing the attributes of the numerous men, women and religious institutions in the world who erroneously believe and claim themselves to be legitimately acting in the capacity of Christ on earth; it would appear that St John was spot in his First Epistle.
Common sense dictates that with 41,000+ different Christian denominations existing in the world … “Antichrist” could possibly reflect the same unnumbered value attributed to "Legion" referred to in St. Luke:
"And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him." - St. Luke 8:30
Is it not therefore fair to say that, among other things, those who carry the “distinguishing mark” of Antichrist are those religious persons and/or entities (pastor, monk, superior, church, community, monastery, etc.) claiming to “hold the place of Christ” on earth but who are not under the supervision and guidance of a validly ordained and consecrated Bishop?
"Know that the bishop is in the Church and the Church in the bishop and that if anyone is not with the bishop he is not in the Church." - St. Cyprian
The Dimond Brothers, who I believe carry that “distinguishing mark” of Antichrist somewhere under their mail-order religious habits, have gone to great lengths in their writings and videos to denounce and denigrate all Bishops of Rome since John XXIII with a special diabolical focus on John Paul II; declaring that he preached the Gospel of the Antichrist while he was Pope from 1978-2005.
What audacity! If that’s not “the pot calling the kettle black” I don’t know what is.
With no bishop, no priest, no canonical order, these two sibling non-professed and un-ordained laymen have created an erroneous religious order and claim that, without confirmation by the laying on of hands, that the older of the two brothers (Frederick), possibly by osmosis, became a Benedictine Superior who “holds the place of Christ”.
Doesn’t that fit perfectly with what Pope Pius X stated in “E Supremi Apostolatus”? “… the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of God.”
These self-constituted Benedictine brothers (MhFM) have for 20+ years successfully sown the seeds of religious discord, strife, and scandal amongst disgruntled Catholics; concocting a charismatic conspiratorial “end-times” theory concerning the great “Antichrist”.
All this has been done in a vainglorious attempt to justify and legitimatize their schism and to conceal the main focus of their “cyber ministry”; which is to prey upon the “scattered flock”, luring them away from the Church in order to ensure the financial viability and longevity of their business of religion.
In any other instance these scoundrels would appear to have no shame; no sense of Christian honor, and that their moral compass is simply and tragically out of whack.
Yet, unfortunately, there exists ample proof that there are tens of thousands of cybernauts who are convinced that the Dimond Brothers are holy men.
You see, when considering the Dimond Brothers (MhFM) as being just one of the many "antichrists" found in the world today, that St. John referred to in his Epistles, these miscreant brothers are in fact magnifying their calling, serving their master (the Father of Lies), and doing an excellent job.
“If anyone says that ... those who have been neither rightly ordained nor sent by ecclesiastical and canonical authority, but come from a different source, are lawful ministers of the word …: let him be anathema [cf. n. 960].”
