Look it up on the Vatican’s Wikipedia: “the pope is ‘Christ on earth until Christ returns.’”
We keep looking for the ‘one’ “antichrist” spoken of in Revelation. John, in revelation was referring to the specific antichrist at the time that his prophecies would be fulfilled.
Jesus himself told us more than once there will be “many,” so if you think there’s only one “anti-Christ“ then you haven’t been paying attention.
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
“For there shall arise false ChristS, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
No, you don’t understand what is meant by that. The belief is that all clergy, in the ministering of the sacraments, “stand in” for Christ. Hence, the term “in persona Christi”.
Not anti-pope, but anti-CHRIST.

But Bergoglio is the anti-pope that is a fact.
