I believe it was Pius XI ... since the Lateran Treaty created the Vatican state in 1929.  That part makes some sense.

Correct.

  I don’t need to watch a video to tell me that there’s not been a global dictator yet and also no mark of the beast.  This is just common sense.

The Antichrist wouldn't be much of a deceiver if he came waving a flag saying that he is the Antichrist. There wouldn't be Scripture saying that the elect will be deceived (Matt. 24:24) or sent the operation of error to believe lies (2 Thess. 2:10) if we know exactly who he is when he comes. Nor would there be a false prophet (Apoc. 19:20) who fits the bill of Ratzinger and/or Bergoglio, to continue his false gospel after Antichrist dies.

Given the nature of the Conciliar deception, it would be fitting that he would come as some worldly "Pope": he who has two horns like a lamb but speaks as a dragon (Apoc. 13:11). Not to mention Our Lady of La Sallette prophesied that Rome would become the seat of the Antichrist. Who, of worldly reknown, sits in Rome? The Pope. Who has been a king of Rome since Pius XI.

So please stop pretending that you know what they've said without even listening to them.

DigitalLogos,
You're not thinking this all the way through.  What is supposed to happen AFTER the antichrist is defeated by Christ's breath (which never happened to JP2, btw)?  After antichrist is defeated, then there is PEACE; and the jews return to the Church.  And there is a period of restoration for the Church until Christ suddenly comes to end the world.

When was the period of peace/restoration of the church post JP2?  When did the jews finally convert to the Church?

p.s. When was the 'mark of the beast' in the 80s/90s?  This is the most obvious error, yet you've not answered it.

I suggest you go read summaries of what the Church Fathers have said, and also other saints.  TAN has published a few small pamphlets on the topic.  Christ has not left us wondering what will happen in the later days...He has given us, through the Saints, a broad outline of what will happen, that we may not be deceived.  Those who know the truth won't be deceived, just like those who knew their Faith weren't deceived by V2.
