But in general I find people very naive who believe that after two thousand years of history since Jesus (if we accept the existence of the man, not the god, as fact) we just happen to be living at the time when real time and myth time will dovetail. A hundred generations of people who believed what they believe being born and dying in real time but lucky us, we're going to be the ones who watch the curtain come down on real time. Somehow I don't think of Catholics being in this group, just the fundy protestants.
Do you think this is an integral component of Catholic belief?
No, definitely not. We don't speculate or focus about "the end times". It's definitely more of a fundy thing and the Duggars fall into that category.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
