Monsignor Pope Ping!
He’s just figuring this out?
Non-Catholics have been saying this for years.
Is someone Catholic now going to admit that a non-Catholic could be right about something?
Who would have thought?
The answer to the question is almost certainly no. Throughout the last 20 years people have predicted the end of the world and the imminent doing of Jesus. As you may know those predictions are all false. So nail biting and chicken little behavior is not going to change anything. Either we will see it or we will not. Interpreting events is subject to individual interpretation and has always been wrong.
Notice Paul is repeating Christ’s warning ... mass deception. Matthew 24; Mark 13; and Luke 21 recorded three times for emphasis When asked what would be the sign of His return... What is the deception? The deception is also the tribulation that has never been before... That means it is not wars and rumors of wars because they continue since the beginning.
If I am required I can point to the ‘deception’, from the Old Testament right on through the New Testament. Right now I have errands to run.
