What is the Catholic Churches stance on the Rapture?

[bekahlou]

I understand that the Catholic church’s position has historically been “amillennial” (as has been the majority Christian position in general, including that of the Protestant Reformers), though Catholics do not typically use this term. What is the Catholic Churches stance on the Rapture? Do Catholic’s believe that all Christians will be taken up suddenly and all non-believers will be left behind?
