I'm not sure this is relevant. In the end times, the only church that true believers will want to attend will be those that are dying. Popular churches will be those that tickle the ears of the attenders without teaching any of the true doctrine of the faith.
One thing you can say about the Catholic Denomination (not counting various rebellious bishops and priests) is that they still stand up for their beliefs. They are driven by their love for G-d, not their desire to be socially acceptable. They are not the only ones, but they are there. That is one reason I respect them so much.
Shalom.

You've got to be kidding. You really believe the Evangelical churches tickle the listeners ears?? You get a much more "watered down”, “easy listening" gospel at any Catholic church than at any Evangelical church. 20 minute quickie masses versus 2-3 hour services twice on Sundays, etc. Much stricter list of “do’s and don’ts”. Need I go on?
Your God and my God are very different. Your God will go out with a whimper.
My God will go out with a tremendous, final, last outpouring of His Spirit, to keep as many as possible from perishing. My God will live up to his promise given in the following: "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound". As wickedness increases in these last days, (as we both agree) so will his grace.
