| Summary: | The author observes, in the contemporary times that he calls “last part of the last times”, the actions operated by the present and regnant Antichrist, whose destruction is anyway imminent and will be operated by the “evangelical preachers” through spiritual only weapons. The Antichrist is not identified with the moral evil in general, but he is embodied in every important political and religious character who operates against the evangelical law, first of all the pope. All the Church’s evils come from the papal heresies, and above all the contempt of the altissima paupertas, that all priests should practice as the ultimate evangelical virtue. The Opus arduum valde is a commentary to the Revelation written by a minor friar, named William, between 1389 and 1390. It reached us incomplete in fourteenth century Bohemian and Polish manuscripts. It’s based on the trinitarian and christocentric eschatology of Peter of Tarantasio’s Expositio in Apocalypsim. L’autore osserva, nel tempo contemporaneo che chiama “ultima parte degli ultimi tempi”, l’operato dell’Anticristo, presente e regnante, la cui distruzione è tuttavia imminente, ad opera dei “predicatori evangelici”provvisti delle sole armi spirituali. L’Anticristo non è identificato con il male morale in genere, egli è incarnato in ogni personaggio di grande prestigio politico e religioso che operi contro la legge evangelica, in primo luogo nel papa: è dalle eresie a lui attribuite che derivano tutti i mali presenti nella Chiesa, soprattutto il disprezzo della altissima paupertas, che ogni ecclesiastico dovrebbe coltivare come somma virtù evangelica. |
