Why does this scare you? This seems like nothing but an outline to an awful Roland Emmerich movie.
 
Don’t believe what you read on Catholic Planet. The guy who runs it makes all kinds of predictions like that and has to revise them when they don’t come true.

Don’t trust what he says about moral theology, either. It’s all his personal opinion, which he calls “theological arguments,” as if that made it better. It’s a very confusing mixture of truth and error. Leave it alone.

😦 seemed highly inaccurate – any “prediction” of the future by a human is, but I did become sad when our Pope Benedict XVI wasn’t mentioned.

2012: They capture the Pope (Cardinal Arinze/Pope Pius XIII) in Italy, in 2012, after he had fled the Vatican. They blind his eyes, bind him, and imprison him in Iraq, where he will die. Subsequently, the extremist forces capture Rome and Vatican City. They burn many of the churches of Rome. They burn or otherwise destroy some of the buildings of Vatican City.

Bah humbug. Any time someone starts saying, “Jesus will return on ____ but not before _____”, I tune him/her out.

Jesus Himself said:
** But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. ** For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In (those) days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be (also) at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! ** For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. ** Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. (Matt. 24: 36-44; emphasis mine)

So how would Mr. Conte be privy to that which the Son of God says is known to the Father alone? Seems like he is also mixing Holy Scripture and Nostradamus, which is questionable, at best.

I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. 🙂
 
I will let the experts illucidate better than I possibly could, but this appears to be a pre-millenial interpretation of Revelations. I believe the Catholic Church, while not specifically prohibiting it’s teaching, holds that the teaching of pre-millenialism is dangerous. I personally absolutely reject a pre-millenial interpetation of the Book of Revelations. You might be well served to seek out good Catholic sources and educate yourself on this very important Book of the Bible. Well, they’re all very important, but you know what I mean!
 
I’ve read the article and all I can say is “shades of Jehovahs Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists”. I like the warning of the last sentence “…there are many false prophecies…”.
I guess he’s telling us that his prophesies are false, I surely don’t believe any of it.

If he’s going to keep it up. you’d better buy a good shovel and hip boots…I am.

The test of a prophet is whether his predictions come true. Well in this case they certainly did not
catholicplanet.com/secrets/revised-dates.htm

The scriptures teach us to ignore false prophets. If indeed his prediction of certain prophetic events in May 2010 had proved correct then we would be more inclined to take him seriously. Seeing it did not I think we have a mandate to reject him.

It is one thing to speculate on end time events. However he uses language “this will happen” and “that will happen” or “this is true” and “this is false”. I think we should reject this writer.

Which is not to say that we should not be concerned at the potential for serious events occurring in the future which fulfil Bible Prophecy. The scripture teaches us to be vigilant and to watch the seasons and times so that we are prepared to face what is to come.

Concerned, watchful and vigilant yes, but alarmed and fearful then no.
 
I agree with the responses here. One thing to note, however, is that the writer is really, really, really clear that it is all just personal speculation. He’s certainly no prophet, like excubitor has pointed out…but he doesn’t say that he is. In general there’s no need to really read stuff like that. The most important thing is to be always prepared because none of us knows the hour…
 
When I was about 13 I went to a SDA run holiday arts and crafts programme. They told me “we don’t want to scare you, but the world will end when you’re 15”. Well, I’m 28 and still waiting.

With that said, two things - I consider the prophecies about The Chastisement and as bleak and somewhat creepy as to their accuracy regarding some matters, I do not think they can give an extact time or even year.

If someone says God told them the world would end or somethign horrible would happen on a particular date, chances are they’re not talkign to God or their human mind has added in the date to the prophecy. So don’t worry about,

And really, if a nuclear war happens, yeah, it will suck for those who survive it, but it will simply be human paying for its many many crimes.

I bet my friend 20$ that a nuclear war will start under Obama.

Long and short of it, leave it in the Lord’s hands, only He knows the hour.

The 2012 prediction is EASILY disproven. Cardinal Arinze is no longer papabile. 😉

I look at it this way. Weekly confession, stay in a state of grace, offer up your sufferings to God and love and serve Him to the best of your ability. IF the end of the world, or some awful tragedy like this would happen in your lifetime, you would be scared out of your mind but God would give you special graces to make it through, and He would take care of you because you’ve been ready, as He asks us to be.

I’ve heard them say of Protestants that they make such a big deal about the end of the world and the Final Judgement, but pay no attention to the Judgement they will receive, GUARANTEED, at the end of their life. 🤷 🙂

Really, do not worry about it! Whatever happens, God will take care of those close to Him.

Agreed. 😃 For we all have an appointment day with Judgment…whether that is at the End of Days or simply the end of our days. If we are ready (as ready as we can be) to face our Lord, then it matters not.

But, OP, I understand how you feel. I feel the same when I think about what may come and I look at my two small children. And my fears as a mother rise up. But I think this is one reason our Lord told us not to worry (Matt. 6). It’s a natural human emotion, but what does it profit us? Anxiety, ulcers, high blood pressure…😃 We do what we know to do, as mentioned above, and then leave the future to the One who controls it.

Catholic Culture Review of Catholic Planet:
This site is the venue for the writings of Ronald Conte, self-described as a Catholic theologian faithful to the teachings of the Magisterium. His site features numerous articles about Catholicism. Most controversial are his eschatology writings which give precise dates of future events right up to the coming of Christ (which he predicts to be in the 26th century). His claims are based on his interpretation of the Bible and private revelation throughout history.

While you may find something worthwhile on this site, it is replete with Mr. Conte’s speculative theology. We suggest you avoid it unless you are a theologian and qualified to sift through and determine what is true and what isn’t.
