Some observations:

1) "Do not criticize the speck in your brother's eye until you have removed the plank from your own." I would like to see the author of this article apply the same level of research into Rome's Mariology.

2) Contemporary Christians often have a voracious appetite for escatology. Many recent converts jump into it head first when they should be reading and applying the Gospels. Escatology is not for newcomers to the Faith. Pastors and more experienced Christians need to do a better job of guiding converts in their new life.

3) Revelation must be approached through the Gospel. Jesus flat out stated that he will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. He described it when he said "What you did for the least of these, you did for Me". This view is affirmed by the Apostles and Nicene Creeds.

4) If we Christians remain patient, we will all eventually find out what will happen in the end times. Jesus wins- what more do we need to know.

There is much such study on Mariology, but Rome never claimed Sola Scriptura.

Very true

Yes, but the point of the article is that the "Left Behind" Rapture is inconsistent with this.

Very true, which is why Vatholics don't stress eschatology so much. (The Catholic view of Revelations focusses on what it says about the Church today.)
