Who And What Are Holding Back The Antichrist?

There is a chapter in the bible that in my opinion

Shows the error of scripture alone

When properly examined reveals that the Catholic Church is the true church.

Now there are many verses in the bible that disprove scripture and show the Catholic Church to be the true church. But 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 is one of the most interesting.

if you've watched my videos you've seen me use 2nd thessalonians 2:15 as a proof text against scripture alone. 

2nd thessalonians 2:15 Says:

So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

But that's not what I want to focus on. I want to focus on the restrainer paul discusses in 2nd Thessalonians, he who restrains the Antichrist. Although Paul doesn't call him the Antichrist, he calls him the man of lawlessness and the son of perdition.

Paul says

2nd thessalonians 2:3-8

Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,  who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.  And then the lawless one will be revealed

Here Paul says that something and someone is restraining,  or preventing, the Antichrist from appearing on the scene.
