St. John Chrysostom in the Opus imperfectum on Matthew in Homily XLIX on Mt 24 says that the destruction of the Church will parallel the destruction of Jerusalem A.D. 70. The hosts of Titus in A.D. 70 are hosts of heretics at that time. Most Jews were killed in A.D. 70, and the rest scattered all over the world. Most Catholics will be spiritually killed at that time, and the rest scattered all over the world. Following St. John Chrysostom, "the" Antichrist is not a single person but is the hosts of heretics.
Is the above your own thought or did you copy it from St. John Chrysostom?  If the latter, do you have a link?

Struthio, how much time have you devoted to studying all of this? 

The above shouldn't be taken in an insulting manner.  It is a sincere question.


Satis Cognitum, Leo XIII: “[...]”

If the Church lacks a legitimate hierarchy with the authority to carry out the mission Christ entrusted to His Church, it follows that the Church as Christ founded it no longer exists, which is contrary to the teaching of Pius XI.  

Papal teaching is sure better than an encyclopedia. The original Latin of Satis Cognitum can be found in the ACTA SANCTAE SEDIS on vatican.va:

At a first glance, the English translation is rather poor. E.g. the first "to the end of time" doesn't exist in the Latin.

It may take some time to reply to all your highlighted statements. You'll have to be patient.

For the time being, let me say that I do not expect that it will be possible to understand Leo XIII as contradicting Pastor aeternus of the Vatican Council, saying that there will be shepherds "usque ad consummationem saeculi".

It's my summary of what St. John Chrysostom says. As far as I know, there is no translation of Homily XLIX of the Opus imperfectum into a modern language. The Latin can be easily found online.

I studied this in my spare time during the past seven years or so.
