I thought most Catholics were per-millenailists, thinking everything occurred in the first century.

Is that an incorrect perception, or is that view changing?

Not everything in the first century no. I believe we fit in the amillenial category:

We don’t ever use that language, so I’m not sure. But the general teaching is a reign of Christ on earth through the Church that began at Pentecost and will end with the Second Coming and the Last Judgment.

I think that is an incorrect view. The Church has always taught the Second Coming (in fact we say a prayer at Mass each Sunday attesting that we believe it will happen). But Catholics have long been warned off of reading the Book of Revelation by the Jesuits and other elements of the clergy who felt that “we” need “them” to interpret it for us.

Incorrect perception. Catholicism doesn’t claim any knowledge of where and when.
