Notes for this sermon:
End of the World Heresies:
- There is no such thing as The Rapture
- No 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 behaviors
- The Faithful turning to false religions and paganism
- Priests neglecting the Sacraments
- Priests engaging in worldly entertainments and hanging out with those with loose morals
- Women invading sanctuaries
- Behavior 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".
