Disturbing but the mark of the beast has to be something where people willingly and knowingly defy God. It must be a statement where people support obvious heresies and mortal sin rather than something like a passport.

For that reason, I believe the Mark is simply a spiritual annointment on the forehead and deeds performed by the hands. Anyone who is a Catholic will be cut off from society and banished from civilization because they do not obey the new world religion. Anyone who supports the new world religion, even if they only support or tolerate one ounce of doctrine from it, will be allowed to live a normal life.

Because Catholicism involves a spiritual mark on the forehead and also deeds done by the hand or mouth, the religion of Anti-Christ John Paul II known as humanism will mirror the true religion by a spiritual mark and deeds by the hands.

Any Covid passport or vaccine inking nonsense will be invalid because people are not required to deny God in order to do either of these things.
