This is not to say that prophesizing is not a real thing (it can be), but a legitimate prophecy of this nature demands an inquisition, such as the one St. Therese of Lisieux got for her mystical writings... which would probably reveal that the prophecy was invalid in the first place. Such a prophecy would probably be considered more demonic than the boy himself.
Plus, if the Church ever said definitely of someone, "Antichrist!" that would probably be something, seeing as no pope has ever declared anybody to be the antichrist. It's mostly the Protestants crying Antichrist to anyone they don't like (especially popes). We haven't called anyone the Antichrist before. Antipope? Sure. Antichrist? Nope...
So, when we do say that someone is the Antichrist, it probably won't be for a flippant reason, nor will it be someone who is trying to get his soul saved.
