GUATEMALA CITY - He calls himself the Antichrist, wears the number 666 tattooed on his arm and claims a following of 2 million people.

The Central American country has banned the leader of the Florida-based Growing in Grace church, arguing he is a security risk because he provokes conflict with Roman Catholics and evangelicals.

“It has been predestined and angels will make it happen. He is, after all, God himself,” said Axel Poessy, Miranda‘s media director.

He often takes aim at the Catholic Church — the most powerful faith in Latin America — calling all priests child molesters and saying chastity vows go against the Bible‘s teachings. Members of his church have torn up images of saints and other religious symbols in El Salvador , and marched in Guatemala and Honduras.
