In October 1988,(Rev. Ian) Paisley was beaten and carried unceremoniously out of a European Parliament meeting in Strasbourg, France. The occasion was a speech made by Pope John Paul II before the Parliament. As the pope began his message, Paisley stood and held up a red sign painted in black letters with the words "John Paul II ANTICHRIST." Paisley shouted, "I refuse you as Christ's enemy and Antichrist with all your false doctrine."
From the Free Presbyterian Church.
Paisley runs his own site the European Institute of Protestant Studies. He is also leader of the Democratic Unionist Party.
