The Protestant Reformers did not hesitate to declare in the strongest possible language that the [[Pope]] and the office of the Papacy is indeed the Antichrist<ref>[http://www.semperreformanda.com/creeds/the-reformers-on-who-is-the-antichrist/ The Reformers On Who is the Antichrist?

[[Orthodox Church|Orthodoxy]] firmly asserts that Protestantism and Roman Catholicism are antichrist in their heretical rejection of the truth of Orthodox doctrine as clearly defined by the seven [[Ecumenical council]]s.<ref>[http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/prot_rc_heresy.aspx Are Protestantism and Roman Catholicism Heretical?

According to the biblical definition of the identity of antichrist [[Biblical inerrancy|infallibly]] set forth in 1 John 2:22; 4:3 and 2 John 7, no historical [[pope]] has been the antichrist. None of them has denied that Jesus is the Christ, none of them has denied the Father and the Son, none of them has denied that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, each of them [[dogma]]tically confessing that Jesus Christ has indeed come in the flesh, and therefore none of them is or has been the antichrist.
