Left Behind, Catholic Style…
Left Behind, Catholic Style…
By: Eric Gajewski
I am sure most Catholics are aware of the Protestant book/movie series “Left Behind”. There were numerous books and movies along the lines of the premise that “Christians” would be raptured at some point before or during the Tribulation period which of course ends in the reign of the Antichrist. As Catholics we know bad doctrine will not only lead to faulty premises and conclusions but even worse false doctrine will send one to hell (sin against Faith). I was talking about this with a Protestant the other day online wherein I told this particular person, “you know we Catholics are talking about a Left Behind too” but not in the manner you think.
As Catholics we believe that God is going to reduce the world’s population due to sin, of which, heresy and apostasy, is, apart of the equation. Its kind of funny because most Protestants say Catholics will be left behind to repent and we say the exact opposite!! In any case, what do I mean by Left Behind?
