Bad source of Catholic info; Raider News Network is hokey and sensationalist.
What?!?! I’ve had Petruse and it’s a terrific wine. Specially with Foe Gras

The Raiders also set a record in penalties last year... Definitely not to be trusted...

Rather, it would be entirely consistent with antiCatholic teaching and emerging Protestant interpretation to grasp at any straw regarding belief in the demise of the Catholic Church.
Jesus will return in His own good time. I'll bet that none of us alive here will see it. That's how I live my life - else what do I tell my children? To be ready to pack it in? If that is the case, why plan for the future? Why should I send my kids to college? Why should I plan for retirement?
If you think that it's feverish now, consider the late 900's at the end of the 'first millennium'.
Rather, live your life as if you will be of your natural lifespan and face the Lord, the Judge of All on your final day. To be fatalistic is not consistent with either the human psyche or Scripture.
If you look at the end of the first millennium, it was much worse than today. Plague, wars, invading pagans, made for a more vivid back drop to the expected end times.
I'd submit that our current situation parallels those times. If you don't think so, consider Dearbornistan...
We are not quite the same as then.
“We don’t have a plague depopulating whole counties and leaving the survivors pretty messed up.”
I’d say abortion comes close, although infant death back than might even it out somewhat. It certainly evens out the barbaric aspect, despite that many don’t recognize it as barbarism. Still, millions every year being killed by different forms of violence has to count for what it is. Apart from abortion, many practice birth control, which some see as a plague even though it is self inflicted, and also serves to depopulate countries.
If one discounts abortion, there probably is a higher % of folks who recognize the rights of others now than ever before. If one counts abortion it is probably much more even, although once one is born there is a probably much higher chance of living a short brutal life back then than today.

False prophet? Fake prophet, maybe; the addition of Petrus Romanus is completely spurious... and the original prophecy is even more spurious in the first place.
But Petrus Romanus is NOT, according to the prophecy, a false prophet. To the contrary, it says that he shall shepherd his flock amidst great persecution.
Oh, wait... I get it! the author is one of those of those hyperventilating, anti-Catholic nutjobs who presume that he *has* to be a false prophet because he’s a Catholic pope! So, he rejects the validity of the Catholic church itself, but yet he’s stupid enough to believe in a prophesy (probably falsely) attributed to a Catholic saint as if it’s some sort of divine proclamation??? What kind of absurd excuse for a rational being could ever be THAT stupid?
He’s elevated being a fool to the third power.
The false prophet is already here....Baracus Obamacus.
And how long is that?
We must be equally as prepared to die in our 90s as we are to die right now.
Foe Gras? Did you mean Foie Gras, or were you referring to a lot of bile?
(Foie Gras is goose liver.)
Pretty sure goose liver goes better with a $3,000 bottle of wine than bile.
Smart phone types what it wants....
