A Treatise Of Antichrist: The Disputation Of Antichrist Is Propounded, And The First Argument From The Name It Self Discussed - M. Downams Answer Confuted II


FIRST CHAPTER

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

M. Downams Answer confuted

II

Now whereas he affirmeth, that the conceits of the alder Papists who lived in the days of our forefathers, concerning Antichrist, were mere dotage, he only sayth it, and thereby discovered his spiteful spirit, which provoke him to rail without reason, and to slander against all truth.

For the Catholics of former days, held the very same, that we do now, though they explicated not themselves so fully, as Bellarmine and others do now.

In which respect only these may in some sort be truly called the reformers of Popery, that is, the explicates and conformers of Catholic doctrine against heretics.

But the reason of this difference betwixt the elder and the later writers is evident, for in their days Heretics were not so impudent as to urge so palpable and gross errors, as they are in our time: for otherwise, Bellarmine sufficiently declareth the antiquity of his doctrine, by proving whatsoever he sayth by the authority of the ancient Fathers.

Now whether many have contributed to Bellarmines books, or no, it is little to the purpose, though the truth is, as those know that are best acquainted with his studies, that they are all his own labors.

And that this may not seem strange, M.Downam may easily inform himself, that divers other of his order, that lived in the same time, and some in the same place, have in diers kinds written as large volumes, as Bellarmine hath in this. Whereof Salmeron, Tolet, Valentia, Molina, Suarez, Vasquez, and others amy serve for example.

Well to come to the M.Downam seemeth to allow of Bellarmine method and division,since that he objected nothing against it, but cometh presently to his first argument.

A Treatise Of Antichrist: The Disputation Of Antichrist Is Propounded, And The First Argument From The Name It Self Discussed - M. Downams Answer Confuted I



FIRST CHAPTER

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

M. Downams Answer confuted

I

First M. Downam telleth us of two great advantages that Bellarmine hath against him and all protestants in this point.

1. In respect of his great learning & much reading.
2. In that he is to prove the negative part, so that it is enough for him,if he can but show plainly and evidently,that any one several & essential mark ascribed unto Antichrist in the scriptures, doth not agree to the Pope.

All which we willingly acknowledge,and from hence do infer M. Downams ignorance and impudency, that whereas it had been enough for Bellarmine to have disproved him in one point, it is not enough for him that he is disproved in all, as the Reader will easily perceive in pursuing the particular arguments.

Likewise we acknowledge the controversy to be of that importance and consequence,that it manifestly convinceth them to be the limbs of Antichrist who are in error concerning this point: for this consequence doth not only touch us,if we were in the wrong, as M. Downam seeth to insinuate by only naming us, but it concerneth them also as fully,since that it is evident that none but heretics can charge any, and much less the chief Pastor of Christs Church,with so foul an imputation.

Now how true it is, that all heretics are limbs of Antichrist, I need not show, since that it is granted on both sides.

And therefore it behooveth M. Donam and his fellows to have as great a will to clear themselves in this behalf, as it doth us, and so much the more also, because we are but the defendants, and they are the slanderous calumniators; & likewise, for that some of their insolence and rash boldness in this assertion.

Book XII


Lastly so also expoundeth it in his Thesaurus linguna Graca Henricus Stephanus, who notwithstanding is one of the heretics of Geneva.

Hence we have our first arguement against our adversaries.

For since the name of Antichrsit signifieth the enmey and emulous of Christ, and subject to Christ in all things, and in no sort saith, that he is Christ, nor maketh himself equal to him, it is manifest, that he is not Antichrist.

Thirdly out of all the Authors who have written of Antichrist, and out of the common sense of all Christians, who by Antichrist understand a certain notable false Christ.

In which sort expoundeth also this word of the ancient Greeks St. Damascen lib.4.de fide cap.28.and after the same manner doth St. Jerome expond it of the Latins, who notwithstanding was also most skiful in the Greek tongue, quest.11. ad Algasiam.

Book X

Secondly the same is proved out of the Scripture:for although this name were of itself ambiguous,yet as it is taken in Scripture It is not doubtful: and our question must not be of the word****** absolutely,but as it is taken in the Scriptures.

Now in the Scriptures, Antichrist is said to be him who is extolled above all that is called god, 2.Thess.2. which certainly is not to be the Vicar,but the enemy of Christ. And 1. Joan.2. Antichrist is said tobe him, who denieth Jesus to be Christ,that he may sell himself for Christ.

And Matth.24. Antichrist is said to affirm himself to be Christ, which certainly is not the part of a Vicar, but of an Emulous.

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

BOOK IX

Now that doth αντίχρατηγος not signify the Captains Vicar, but ordinarily a contrary Captain, as αυτιξζατηγδζ is to make war, and sometimes him that is in the Captains place, not subject to him, but as equal, as among the Latins, Propraetor or Proconsul doth not signify the Vicar of the Pretor or Consul, but him that is in some Province, that which the Pretor or Consul is in the City:and in this Musculus was deceived; for because he read in Budacus that doth signify a Propretor, he thought that it doth signify the Vicar of the Pretor, which is false.

FIRST CHAPTER

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

BOOK VIII

That this is the signification of this name, it is proved three ways.

First because among the Grecians the word αντι doth properly signify opposition, and because not only those things are said to be opposed,which are repugnant one to the other, but also those, which are of equal value, from thence it proceeds, that αντι in composition, sometime signify contrarietie, sometime equivalence,as is manifest in the examples of all such names, αντιπαλος signify an emulous in a combat, αντίθετος a contrary remedy, αντίΦρασξ  a contrary speech, αντιξτ Φοξ equivalent, αντίθεΦ equal to God, αντίΧειξ is the sum, because it is opposed against, and is equivalent to all the rest at hand, and so of the rest.

But a Vicar doth not signify opposition, but subordination to another, and therefore it cannot be expressed by the word αντι

Nationalist Dr.Michael Savage On Nationalist Anders Behring Breivik

Dr. Michael Savage
"A forerunner of the Antichrist, with his troops drawn from many nations, will wage war against the true Christ, sole Savior of the world; he will shed much blood and will seek to annihilate the cult of God so as to be regarded as a god." Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
“J.M.J.

The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fatima, on 13 July 1917.

I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

Tuy-3-1-1944”.
Hey if I like listening to Dr Savage on the radio then you do too. That's the lesson. Nationalists like Dr. Savage are very convincing and say all the right things. Most Catholics should feel at ease listening to him. His morals are somewhat conservative and his politics as well.

Dr. Savage is no friend to the Muslims even though he himself is a SEMITE just like his Muslim cousins.

However there is a danger in this man. He is a Nationalist. Nationalist just like the Nazis back in the day and just like the Neo-Nazis today. The problem with his Nationalism is that Dr. Savage is a JEW.

You figure a loud mouth JEW would stay away from Nationalism - but he won't!

He loves Nationalism so much that he would even defend Nationalist Anders Behring Breivik and claim that ABB could not have blown up a building and driven to an Island to murder 77 souls - all in a very short time.Now granted this is 2014 and the killing took place on 22 July 2011.Maybe Savage changed his mind by now.

I know he hasn't changed his mind on Nationalism. And there in lies the danger in listening to the man.

For you see Nationalism is the political philosophy of the Forerunner to the Antichrist.

Our Lady of La Salette is warning the lot of you to stay away from Nationalism. Our Lady at La Salette and at Fatima tells you that the Forerunner to the Antichrist will be a Nationalist and who will raise any army made up of Nationalists from allover the world and will one day kill the Fatima Pope and Faithful who are making their way up a steep mountain.

So please to the Mother of God and not to JEW Savage.

Thing is, is that Savage will never see the bad fruit of his Nationalism in the killing of the Fatima Pope and Faithful, but Savage has seen the Forerunner to the Antichrist in the person of Anders Behring Breivik.

Here is Savage's defense of ABB:
The Islamic news angle, Savage said, has faded from the press since Breivik was fingered, even though the lone Norwegian committing both crimes seems to Savage a suspect possibility"The official story makes no sense," Savage told WND. "This looks like a classic conspiracy."

"This has all the appearances of a cover-up," Savage told WND. "They created their Reichstag fire. They found their Timothy McVeigh. They created their Jack Ruby. How could one man have blown up the downtown and then raced to the island to kill the teens?

"This is likely a fabrication of the Labour Party, who needs to hold onto power to enforce their multi-culturalist, Muslim-favoring, anti-nationalist views," he continued, "especially in light of the earlier 'credit' for this atrocity claimed by the radical Muslim group whose leader they were threatening to deport.

"The official story defies logic in the following sense as well," he continued, "if this lone right-winger hated Muslims, as the New York Times is reporting, then why did he slaughter his own people and not Muslims?"

… Savage said "Norway's 9/11" could have been stopped, "but it grew far too long, nourished by the bile of Eurosocialism." "I hoped that incidents like this," he said, "will lead Europeans to come to the defense of their own civilizations and clamp down on the hate and intolerance that takes perverse advantage of European tolerance and openness." Right Wing Watch>>>>>
Just a word on how everything is turned up side down you know this and I know this. We are living in the times of the ANTI-GOSPEL where everything is the opposite of whats found in the Gospel.

For instance Jew Dr. Micheal Savage claims to be from a long line of Prophets (which is reality he is not) but lets humor him and take note of a Prophet found in the Gospel - Simeon who was waiting for the Messiahs to manifest himself before Simeon died:
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Same will happen today with Savage playing the part of Simeon and the Forerunner to the Antichrist played by Anders Behring Breivik (ABB) - Again everything is turned on its head.

Bad news for Savage he will never see the triumph of his Nationalism as carried out by ABB.


Forerunner To The Antichrist: Sick Killer Anders Breivik Claims He's Working '70 Hours A Week' As He Preaches Hate From Prison Cell

"A forerunner of the Antichrist, with his troops drawn from many nations, will wage war against the true Christ, sole Savior of the world; he will shed much blood and will seek to annihilate the cult of God so as to be regarded as a god." Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

Potential candidate for Forerunner to the Antichrist is Anders Behring Breivik or ABB even though he is not a Roman Catholic - yet.

The mass murderer, serving 21 years for the 2011 slaughter of 77 people in Norway, has written to his dad, claiming he is on contact with fellow fascists

Mass killer Anders Breivik says he is working “70 hours a week” to spread his ideology of hate from prison, reports Tom Parry in the Sunday People.

The psychopath , serving 21 years for the 2011 slaughter of 77 people in Norway, boasted that he has regular chats with fellow fascists.

Breivik, 35, has previously said he went on his murder spree because of his hatred for multi-culturalism.

In a rambling letter to dad Jens, a retired diplomat, he ranted: “I am proud I have been able to contribute to the salvation of my people.

“I continue to work 70-hour weeks to that end.

“My campaign was, as is commonly known, the most significant by a nationalist in the whole of post-war European history.

“History will always repeat itself and in a few years the fascist will yet again rule northern Europe.

"I have many ideological brothers and sisters in France with whom I correspond.”

He called his father a “coward” for not backing his views and said he has “renounced” his family.

BOOK VII

But without doubt they are deceived,or endeavor to deceive, for the name of Antichrist cannot in any sort, signify the Vicar of Christ, but only some that is contrary to Christ: and contrary not howsoever,but is such sort, that he strive with him for the seat & dignity of Christ, that is, who is amulas Christi, at emulation with Christ,and would be accounted Christ,having cast him down who is truly Christ.

FIRST CHAPTER

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

BOOK VI

For the first,some of our adversaries teach, that the name of Antichrist doth properly signify the Vicar of Christ, and therefore that the Pope, who affirmeth himself to be Christs Vicar is Antichrist.

So teacheth Wolfgangus Musculus in locis cap. de potest. Ministroru, and he prove it, because that word ανtι signify vice, whence ανtιζανtηγδς signify him who obtrudeth himself for Captain,that is, who will be accompted the Captains Vicar.

The Magdeburgenses cent.I.lib.2.cap.4.colum.435. do teach, that the Pope is therefore the true Antichrist because he maketh himself the vicar of Christ.

FIRST CHAPTER 

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

BOOK V

Wherefore that this question may be diligently explicated, nine heads are to be treated of.

First of the name it self of Antichrist.

2. Whether Antichrist be one man or a kind of men.

3. Of the time of his coming and death.

4. Of his proper name.

5. Of what nation he shall be born, & by whom he shall chiefly be received.

6. Where he shall fix his seat.

7. Of his doctrine and manners.

8. Of his miracles.

9. Of his kingdom and wars.

For out of all these, it will most clearly appear, with what impudence the heretics make the Pope Antichrist: to which we will add a Chapter,wherein we will prove, that the Pope is not only not Antichrist, but that he hath in no sort left to be the Bishop and pastor of the whole Church, that nothing may remain not solved of Calvin's objections.

III

Now Calvin Lib.4.cap.7.&23. "Let (saith he) all those things be true,which notwithstanding we have now wrested from them, that Peter was by the voice of Christ, appointed Head of the universal Church, & that he left the honor given unto him in the Roman Sea, that thus was established by the authority of the ancient Church, & confirmed by long use, that the chiefest authority was always due from all to the Bishop of Rome,and that he was the judge of all causes and men, that he was subject to the judgment of none; let them have more also if they will:Yet I answer in one word, that nothing of this standeth in force, except the Church and Bishop be at Rome.

And after &.24. Let the Romanists untie me this knot: I deny that their Pope is the Prince of Bishops, since that he is not a Bishop.

And after. Let Rome in times past have been the Mother of all Churches:but since she began to become the seat of Antichrist, she left to be that which she was.

And after &.25.We seem to some, backbiters and slanderers,when we call the Bishop of Rome Antichrist, but they which think so, understand not that they accuse Paul of immodesty, after whom we speak, yea out of whose mouth we speak so.

And least any object, that we wrongfully wrest Paul'swords against the Pope which pertain to another purpose,I will briefly show, that they cannot  be understood otherwie, then of the Popedome." So he.

But he should have showed, into what  errors the Bishops of Rome are fallen,and when,and by whome they were condemned.

For we know,that in the General Lateran Council under Innocentius the third, and of Lyons under Gregory the tenth, and of Florence under Eugenius the fourth, the Greeks being convicted of error, returned to the Faith of the Latins, and afterward always returned to their vomit again, and were therefore most grievously punished by God; but we never read that the Latins came to the Faith of the Greeks.

Neither can there any Ecclesiastical judgment be produced against the Latins,as we bring many against the Greeks.

Pope Francis Verano Cemetery
2 November 2014
First Chapter

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

I

We have demonstrated hitherto (saith Bellarmine) that the Pope succedeth S. Peter in the chiefest Princedom of the whole Church.

It remaineth that we see, whether at any time the Pope hath fallen from this degree, for that our adversaries contend, that he is not at this time a true Bishop of Rome, whatsoever he was before.

And Nilus in the end of his book against the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome, speaketh thus: But let that be the sum and head of my speech, that while the Pope keepeth in the Church a convenient, heavenly, and of ancient time appointed order, while he holdeth and defendeth the heavenly truth, & while he cleaveth to Christ, the chief and true Lord and head of the Church, I will easily suffer him to be both the head of the Church, & the chiefest Priest, & the successor of Peter, or else if he will, of all the Apostles, that all obey him, and that whatsoever belongeth to his honour, be in nothing dimmished: but if he be departed from the truth, & will not return to it, he ought deservedly to be accounted of, as one that is condemned and rejected.
