Notes for this sermon: End of the World Heresies:There is no such thing as The RaptureNo such thing as Millennium (1,000 year reign of Christ our Lord)Lord COMMANDS us to read the signs of the times. BUT, we know not the day or the hour, so anyone setting dates are to be ignored.Exciting topic: but don't have a "chicken little" tizzy fit. St John Berchmans example. Just do your duty. Other points:What is a "type?" Person, thing, or action that actually exists but is intended by God to prefigure or foreshadow a future person, thing, or action. Israel prefigures the Catholic Church. Judith prefigures Mary. Holofernes prefigures Satan.Judgment can't come before a great apostasy. Study of the 170BC apostasy in Jerusalem.Dramatic rise in immodesty and perverse behaviorsThe Faithful turning to false religions and paganismPriests neglecting the SacramentsPriests engaging in worldly entertainments and hanging out with those with loose moralsWomen invading sanctuariesBehavior in the temple/sacred space disruptive and irreverent.List of Papal quotes over the past 100 years warning us that things are drawing to a close and that "this may be the beginning of the end".
