The Rapture & Apocolyptomania
Ever wondered how deeply the concepts of The Rapture and the end times penetrate our culture? Join us on a deep exploration through the world of media, religious belief, and anticipation of end times. We dive into the sensationalism surrounding the belief in the Rapture and the Catholic warning of 'three days of darkness'. We also delve into the unexpected emergence of a prepping culture, borne out of fear that events like the Canadian wildfire might signal the apocalypse.
We're also venturing into the controversial world of liturgy. We discuss Cardinal Sarah's provocative article on the traditional Latin Mass and the potential divisions it could cause within the Church. We reflect on the impact of his words on Pope Benedict XVI's stance on the celebration of older liturgical forms. Not to mention, we also consider the challenges local parishes face.
We're not stopping there. We're delving into how religious beliefs have influenced discussions on chastisements and political issues. This includes a deep dive into phrases such as 'the living will envy the dead,' which suggests a punishment greater than the deluge, and what it implies about the desire for divine intervention. Trust us, you don't want to miss this intriguing discussion filled with lively conversation and thoughtful analysis.

So funny, two guys bantering about the Catholic Catechism. Rob is so good with playing videos. Thanks!
"Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men...But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up. Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness? Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?" - 2 Peter 3:6-7; 10-12
