Palau’s vision includes an explicit command:
“Be silent, it is a secret and a mystery; write no more on this matter.” This injunction applies to
identifying the individual who may serve as the Antichrist’s visible head. It does
not forbid diagnosing or warning about a corrupting
system that infiltrates institutions.
Highlight: analyze structures and prepare; do not publicly name a contemporary person as the Antichrist.
What Palau describes (summary)
Palau portrays a twofold reality: (1) a
systemic infiltration — a seductive, political‑religious order that “seduced the whole world” and exerts social and institutional domination; and (2) a
personal culmination — a “son of perdition” who will function as the system’s visible head. The text emphasizes both the
structural nature of the danger and the
prudential secrecy surrounding the person.
Concrete indicators to watch for now
- Doctrinal ambiguity: repeated official or widespread statements that blur core doctrines (e.g., on sacraments, authority, or the nature of the Church).
- Institutional politicization: ecclesial structures increasingly subordinated to secular political agendas or managerial frameworks.
- Substitution of ends: humanitarian or social goals presented as replacements for sacramental and evangelical priorities.
- Centralized coercion: pressure on clergy or faithful to conform to policies that contradict received doctrine or conscience.
- Public veneration of secular unity: rhetoric that prizes a human‑centered “universal brotherhood” in ways that marginalize supernatural faith.
