When
all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great
perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of
those evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be
already in the world the "Son of Perdition" of whom the Apostle speaks
(II. Thess. ii., 3). Such, in truth, is the audacity and the wrath
employed everywhere in persecuting religion, in
combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and
destroy all relations between man and the Divinity! While, on the other
hand, and this according to the same apostle is the distinguishing mark
of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place
of God, raising himself above all that is called God; in such wise that
although he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God,
he has contemned God's majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a
temple wherein he himself is to be adored. 'He sitteth in the temple of
God, showing himself as if he were God' " (II. Thess. ii., 2).
