Satirist Andy Borowitz has offered his view on things with this very timely post in his The Borowitz Report entitled "Reopening of Notre-Dame Marred by Appearance of Antichrist." 

He tells us that the much-anticipated reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral on Saturday was ruined by the appearance of the Antichrist, observers said.

Beelzebub, who had travelled from Palm Beach, was heard

loudly complaining that he had come “all the way to Notre Dame and there was no football game.”

He later disrupted the ceremony by loudly hawking a shipment of $60 Bibles he had just received from China.

French president Emmanuel Macron apologized to the world for inviting the Archfiend but added, “At least he didn’t bring Elon.”*

Or $500 shoes for sale, I would add. 

In response, I submitted this letter of appreciation to Mr. Borowitz.

Dear Mr. Borowitz:

Thank you for your fine treatment of the antichrist at Notre Dame.  Though you are a satirist and I am a spiritual theologian, we are on the same page. 

Is Trump The Anti-Christ? This Theologian Has Proof w/ Dr. Rev. Matthew Fox. Thom Hartmann Program

See my recent book, Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election, in which I connect him to paintings of the antichrist from St.Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th century and Luca Signorelli from the early 16th century, as well as the reformers of the 16th century. 

You have done a fine job bringing this archetype up to date. You can also feast on this video from Thom Hartmann (above).

Best,

Matthew Fox

Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election

Matthew Fox tells us that he had always shied away from using the term “Anti-Christ” because it was so often used to spread control and fear. However, given today’s rise of authoritarianism and forces of democracide, ecocide, and christofascism, he turns the tables in this book employing the archetype for the cause of justice, democracy, and a renewed Earth and humanity.

Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Transforming Evil in Soul and Society

Visionary theologian and best-selling author Matthew Fox offers a new theology of evil that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In comparing the Eastern tradition of the 7 chakras to the Western tradition of the 7 capital sins, Fox allows us to think creatively about our capacity for personal and institutional evil and what we can do about them. 
“A scholarly masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science.  A breath-taking analysis.” — Diarmuid O’Murchu, author of Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics
