To moderators: this is kind of murky as to whether it is a "news" or "religions" item. I think since it focusses on political backgrounds, it is IMHO wiser to put it on the news forum. If you feel it is not suitable, feel free to move to religion forum.
Ping!

Wasn't it written somewhere something to the effect that "you'll know not the time nor the place"
I think we are already in the dark ages. I never thought I would see the things I do.
"Wasn't it written somewhere something to the effect that "you'll know not the time nor the place"
Yep. It also is written as a command for you to know the season as well...

This Catholic believes we are.
You and me both :(.
There have always been large numbers of people who thought the end was near. I suspect they have a problem accepting the fact that the world will go on after they die.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Matthew 24:36
Those Flying Saucers
Youd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
Its a sign theres no doubt of the trouble thats about
So I say my friends youd better start to pray
Theyre a terrifying sight as they fly on day and night
Its a warning that wed better mend our ways
Youd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
Many people think the saucers might be someones foolish dream
Or maybe they were sent down here from Mars
If youll just stop and think youd realize just what it means
Theyre more than atom bombs or falling stars
And though the war may be through theres unrest and trouble brewin
And those flying saucers may be just a sign
That if peace doesnt come it will be the end of some
So repent today, youre running out of time
When you see a saucer fly like a comet through the sky
You should realize the price youll have to pay
Youd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day

Interesting:
-GenX isn't buying the "last days" thing.
-Women are more distinctly likely than men to believe we're in the last days.
I wonder if this is a credible poll? I've never heard of McLaughlin & Associates, but it looks like they've used a decent sized sample (1000 adults).
38 percent of Catholics agree?????
38 percent of Catholics, it would appear, need to read the Catechism.
make that "distinctly more likely"
Last days? Yes, since the Resurrection.
Very interesting. I didn't know that most Americans were even award of the claims of end times teachings, but a majority, agrees!? Amazing.
