On the question about the pope (s) - every pope is an antichrist by reason of their own declarations about themselves.
They say they are the "Vicar" of Christ. Vicar means "Replacement/ substitute.
If someone came along and declared themselves to be YOUR replacement, claiming your address would you not be screaming- FRAUD?
They also claim to be Pontifex Maximus (spell?), which they got from the Caesars of Rome. This means "High Priest" but the Bible says Jesus Christ is our High Priest.
You see, the devil saw he could not kill Christianity by persecution, so he undermined it by instaling false Christianity at the top of his governmental structure at the time.
