By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing - And the great German theologian Romano Guardini spoke of the Antichrist in his magnum opus, The Lord: One day the Antichrist will come: a human being who introduces an order of things in which rebellion against God will attain its ultimate power. He will be filled with enlightenment and strength. The ultimate aim of all aims will be to prove that existence without Christ is possible – no, that Christ is the enemy of existence, which can be fully realized only when all Christian values have been destroyed.
