Do Catholics believe in the Millennium

I changed the name and location of the articles of quotes from the church fathers about their end time views. The new location is:

Thank you TWF and others. Those are good points . What about TWF’s statement above? Just asking again , this is Apologetics, is no literal 1000 years really decided as an a part of the faith or is it a widely held opinion?

Decree of the Holy Office dated July 21, 1944:

"In recent times on several occasions, this Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office has been asked what must be thought of the system of mitigated Millenarianism, which teaches, for example, that Christ the Lord before the final judgment, whether or not preceded by the resurrection of the many just, will come visibly to rule over this world.

“The answer is: The system of mitigated Millenarianism cannot be taught safely.”

I firmly believe that a millennium is a thousand years.
