Drudge Report Asks Whether Pope Francis Is The 'Antichrist'

The Drudge Report on Wednesday pondered whether Pope Francis, who has recently fallen out of favor with some conservatives, is actually the "antichrist," noting that the pope's "stand on homosexuality, Islam, capitalism, and the New World Order" fuel chatter.

Drudge links to an article on Charisma News explaining, "Why So Many People Think Pope Francis Is the Antichrist." The post asks whether Francis' role as antichrist signifies the second coming of Christ.

If you type "is Pope Francis antichrist" into Google, you'll get about 425,000 results in .37 seconds. By way of comparison, if you ask Google the same question about Pope Benedict you only get 137,000 and it takes a little longer—.47 seconds.


Charisma News cites a Gallup poll released earlier in July that found Pope Francis' popularity taking a serious hit among conservatives.

and who cares about the environment must be Satan incarnate, right?

Further proof that conservatism is a mental illness.
