The Antichrist de Vincent Miceli S J

The Antichrist

Autor Vincent Miceli S J
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2022

Remarcăm în lucrarea The Antichrist de Vincent Miceli S J o abordare riguros interdisciplinară, situată la intersecția dintre teologia dogmatică, escatologie și analiza sociopolitică a secolului XX. Autorul nu se limitează la o exegeză aridă, ci conectează fenomenul secularizării cu structurile ecleziale, oferind o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care materialismul a penetrat discursul religios contemporan. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea de a ancora profețiile biblice, în special cele ale Sfântului Pavel, în realități concrete ale istoriei recente, de la regimurile marxiste până la reformele liturgice post-conciliare. Structura narativă este una densă, dar bine articulată, alternând între rigoarea academică și tonul apologetic. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Devil in the Castle de Dan Burke vor aprecia modul în care Vincent Miceli S J extinde analiza de la nivelul luptei spirituale individuale la cel al instituțiilor globale și al curentelor de gândire. În timp ce volumul lui Burke se concentrează pe subtilitatea decepției în viața de rugăciune, The Antichrist aduce nou o dimensiune istoriografică vastă, citându-l extensiv pe John Henry Newman pentru a demonstra că actuala criză de doctrină a fost anticipată cu precizie încă din secolul al XIX-lea. Recomandăm acest volum pentru ritmul său susținut și pentru curajul de a aborda teme precum „vacuitatea morală” și „pierderea credinței” fără a cădea în defetism. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea tensiunii dintre tradiție și modernitate în spațiul catolic, oferind un fundament teoretic solid pentru cei care studiază dinamica dintre religie și ideologiile seculare.

Descriere

"As G.K. Chesterton once remarked, the cleverest thing the devil ever did was to induce people to believe that he did not exist. It was truly a masterstroke, enabling him to carry on his nefarious operations, not just with the tolerance of so-called enlightened opinion; but with the active cooperation of well-meaning, charitable people like Eleanor Roosevelt, not to mention a large body of clergy of all denominations. Thus, for instance, the devil has been able to gain access to such organizations as the World Council of Churches, inducing them to foster the setting up of Marxist regimes in Africa and elsewhere, and generally to advance the cause of atheism and materialism. In the nether regions, I feel sure, to this day they speak with awe of all their lord and master, in his nonexistent capacity, has been able to achieve at the Vatican Councils, and after, in the way of demoralizing and disbanding the religious orders just when they were most needed, disrupting all accepted liturgical arrangements, including the Mass, and involving Catholic schools and colleges in the same Gadarene rush to moral vacuity as secular institutions-all ostensibly brought about under the auspices of the good Pope John. With the devil, in consensus terms, abolished, but seemingly achieving an ascendency everywhere, it is easy to fall into a mood of hopelessness and inertia. In his latest book, The Antichrist, Fr. Miceli offers a powerful challenge to so defeatist an attitude. He looks back on the long record of the devil's activities as, in the words of the book of Job, he has gone to and fro in the earth and up and down in it, everywhere making mischief and creating chaos; yet always ultimately, as Fr. Miceli shows, frustrated in the working out of his devilish purposes by his chief adversary, Christ and His Church Militant. As for the existing situation-the chief danger now, Fr. Miceli insists, is not so much the devil's own malign operations as the distortions he has been able to induce, as a nonperson, in the words and teaching of the gospels, and the consequent devastating loss of faith among Chris- tians and in Christian institutions resulting therefrom. In other words, we are witnessing today the exact fulfillment of the apostle Paul's prophecy just before he died that a time would come when professing Christians would not tolerate sound doctrine, but follow after their own lusts, preferring fantasy to truth. It was John Henry Newman who foresaw with unique clarity how in our time, in the twentieth century, some two thousand years after St. Paul's prophecy was uttered, every particular would come to pass, down to the smallest detail. Fr. Miceli quotes New- man again and again in this sense-true words beautifully ex- pressed, marvelous in their force, insight, and elegance. Truly, God never leaves us in unrelieved darkness; always throughout history somewhere a voice is raised, confuting the devil's false assumptions and deceiving hopes-for instance, today Solzhenitsyn's. All we need is ears to hear, a mind to understand, and a heart to believe, for which our prayers must endlessly be addressed to God, asking of Him ultimately only: "Thy will be done.""--

Notă biografică

Fr. Vincent P. Miceli, S.J. (1915-1991) earned his doctoral degree in contemporary philosophy from Fordham University while studying under Dietrich von Hildebrand. He taught at Loyola University, Pontifical Gregorian University, Pontifical University of St. Thomas, and Christendom, amongst other colleges. He is the author of several books, including The Antichrist, Ascent to Being, and The Roots of Violence, and wrote extensively for journals and magazines, such as L'Osservatore Romano, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, and National Catholic Register. Fr. Miceli made innumerable appearances on national TV and radio programs to promote the faith and co-hosted a syndicated radio program, "Where Catholics Meet."

Descriere scurtă

Fiction and nonfiction books and movies speculate about end-of-the-world scenarios, proposing a rogue's gallery of corrupt leaders and a host of chilling, apocalyptic theories. Disillusioned by the crippled state of our Church and our world, people are increasingly placing faith in prophecies that claim to know details and dates about upcoming chastisements.
Will the "final confrontation" include unprecedented bloodshed or the subtle trickery of seduction (or both)? Have the current intellectual, political, and sexual "liberation" movements -- including within the Church -- created the platform required for the Antichrist to emerge?
In an age of diabolical disorientation, this captivating book provides much-needed clarity on relevant biblical prophecies -- from Old Testament times to St. Paul and Revelation -- and writings of early Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, including Sts. Augustine, Gregory the Great, Jerome, and Thomas Aquinas.
This prescient book will enlighten you on whether there is more than one Antichrist, the types of leaders and societies that Cardinal Newman believed would be forerunners of the Antichrist, and how long the Antichrist will reign. You will also explore the Church's teaching on millenarianism and the prospect that the reign of the Antichrist is drawing closer.
A valuable and timely resource, this book will aid you in understanding views on the Antichrist through history and how they are linked to predictions about the end of the world, the Second Coming of Christ, the role of false prophets, and the devices the evil one uses to cultivate apostasy. You will also discover:
  • What the persecution of the Antichrist will entail and events foretelling his coming
  • How to avoid being deceived by the Antichrist
  • Our Lady's role in the End Times
  • The significance of sacrilege, idolatry, and the "abomination of desolation"
  • The consequences of attacks on the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Liturgy, and the Blessed Mother
  • The correlation (if any) between Rome and the Antichrist
  • How contemporary heresies, occultism, and immorality plant the seeds for evil
This book will empower and encourage you to hold fast to your beliefs, bear witness to the truth, and defend against false teachings that subvert the fortitude of the faithful.
