There’s an expression (“Ape of the Church”) that seems to be getting more and more attention these days. It was coined by Archbishop Fulton Sheen to describe what the Church teaches about a final deception that the faithful will have to endure before the second coming of Jesus. He called it the “Ape of the Church,” which would be an apocalyptic counterfeit Church inaugurated by the Antichrist.
