[Constitutions Grandchild]

Thanks, bdeaner. I only have my Catechism from my youth, and frankly I don't know where it is at the moment. I shall “insist” that I get a new one for my birthday or Christmas (which are a week apart). What other holiday can I insist I get one for? I'll think of something. ;-) I can be very persistent.

I'd still like to hear them hit it out of the park from the pulpit. Wishful thinking, I guess.

In the meantime, you can use an online version of the Catechism found here: CCC.

Don't worry, it's the same one as found at the Vatican website. In fact, the Vatican website's Catechism is just a copy of this one, without the handy search feature this one offers.

As far as the Church's position on Eschatological beliefs, I believe the Church allows for any Eschatological belief other than the popularized "Pre-Tribulation, Pre-Millennial" (or Post-Millennial although I don't know how that could fit with a Pre-Tribulation viewpoint) belief espoused by LeHaye and others (i.e., the topic of this thread, i.e., the "Rapture"). That is, one is free to believe we are past the Millennium, but not that the Church will be "raptured" before the Tribulation. (Again, I don't know how that would work anyway) IOW, this is why the Church hasn't come out and said which Eschatological belief is "correct".

To your knowledge, am I correct on that bdeaner?
