The Catholic Rapture

  Once again or should I say every day when I look at facebook or twitter all I see are messages about the rapture of the church. No not the Catholic Church. It seems to be more of the fundamentalist group of Christians. When someones makes a statement about the Catholic Church they usually will say oh those Catholics don't believe in the Rapture. On the contrary we Catholics do believe in the Rapture, but it's not on the same time frame as others. As I have said in other posts there are generally three groups of Rapture Believers. Summing them up it seems as the beginning, middle and end. Frankly as for myself if it happens at the beginning or middle it won't upset me. I believe that all Christians will be Caught Up In The Rapture at some point in time.
  I know that most groups of Christians don't believe that Catholics are Christians and that we won't be saved. Why? Because we don't stand in front of a crowd and say that we Accept Christ As Our Personal Savior. Well we may not say that little prayer that others do, but we have an even deeper and more personal way of accepting Jesus Christ in a personal relationship. That relationship is through the
partaking of the Eucharist in front of a group of people.
"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." - Luke 22:19-20
"I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." - John 6:51-56
"The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread." - 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." - 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

   Well what I would advise is that if you want to understand what Catholics believe about the Rapture read books written by Catholics. If you read books written by non Catholics you will most likely have incorrect information. I would check out Amazon for many excellent books on the Catholic Church and the Rapture. If you read the scripture above and are not following what Jesus Said what will happen to you. We can also see that by the actions of some of his disciples when Jesus said this they could not accept it and went away. I believe if he only meant it as a symbol he would have told them so. So many will pick and choose what parts of scripture they want and ignore the rest. The problem is they are missing the whole picture and may not be in the Rapture and will not be raised on the last day.
