Is the New Age the Anti Christ? Jane Friday, January 18, 2013

Question:

Hi

There is a lot of words going around that the "New Age" is the Anit Christ etc. I want to ask is this true? I found this website that believes that the "New Age" is Anit Christ. Here is the link to the website {url omitted}

I just want to hear you view upon it. Should I be or we be concern about this.


Thanks

God bless :)

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r)

Dear Jane:

No, the New Age is not the anti-Christ. Not even close. Whoever is saying this is quite ignorant.

The anti-Christ will either be a person, a leader who will become a world leader, or a governmental regime based upon "atheistic secularism and/or dialectic materialism" (source: Navarre bible Commentary). The New Age, however, is a system of thought that was part of the development of a society that becomes an atheistic secularism and/or dialectic materialism.

These philosophical systems that will allow the rise of the anti-Christ exists today and is fast flourishing. It is call Progressivism. Our current President claims to be a Progressive. As such, we are seeing before our very eyes in this generation, the rise of the kind of government and society that will eventually give rise to the anti-Christ sometime in the future.

The website you mentioned I deleted as I do not wish to promote it. This is one topic, the End Times, the Anti-Christ, and the Second Coming that we should not consider any non-Catholic sources as these non-Catholic sources are all wrong in some way.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
