"The Church is not "into" predicting the future."

Then perhaps you should try reading Matthew 24.

And the Book Of Revelations.

Or perhaps those of the prophets Amos, Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaias, Joel,Abdias, Jonas, Michaes, Nahum, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zacharias, Malachi........

any of those dudes sound familiar? The Church recognizes them and reveres them as prophets of the Lord. And.......they predict the future.

Maybe you should have posted the rest of what I wrote:

...At least not in the sense that a revelation such as this foretells. It tells us that Jesus will return, that each of us will face our own particular judgement

I acknowledge that the Church does make some statements about the future. Scripture and the prophets foretell the coming of the Messiah, punishment for sin, judgement, the need for repentance. They call people back to God, consistent with the salvific mission of the Church.

The threat of future punishment for present, unrepented transgressions has always been a part of the Church's mission.

This is not what is meant by "foretelling the future."
