What is your motive for dredging up decades old musings from obviously false prophets? Mockery isn't a very attractive characteristic - more like trollish behavior. I'd think you would be more concerned with why “faithful” Catholics like Joe Biden think they can get Catholics and Evangelicals to vote for him just like they have voted for Democrats in the past.

What is your motive for reading and commenting on this post?

Shouldn’t you be more concerned with your own belief system? I notice you are quite often on threads about different religions - so why not be more concerned with your own?

You mean like Charles Walmesley, OSB (best known by the pseudonyms Signor Pastorino or Pastorini; 13 January 1722 – 25 November 1797) was the Roman Catholic Titular Bishop of Rama and Vicar Apostolic of the Western District of England.

Walmesley is most famous for his General History of the Christian Church from her birth to her Final Triumphant States in Heaven chiefly deduced from the Apocalypse of St. John the Apostle, by Signor Pastorini (a pseudonym). This was first published in 1771 and went through ten editions in Great Britain and five more were produced in America. Translations of the work also appeared in Latin, French, German, and Italian, and were also reprinted. The book prophesied the end of Protestantism and particularly the destruction by God of the Anglican churches by 1825. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Walmesley; emp. mine)

Although this was followed by the Act of Catholic Emancipation in 1829 that involved reducing and removing many of the restrictions on Roman Catholics introduced by the Act of Uniformity, the Test Acts and the penal laws, that hardly constituted the end of Protestantism and particularly the destruction by God of the Anglican churches.
