“ the Catholic Church today is not Armageddonist and instead more invested in charity work and aid projects‘
Not convinced of that. The major concern of the Catholic Church appears to be the preservation of the Catholic Church and its control of the diminishing number of its faithful members that contribute to its coffers.
If the Catholic Church was invested in charity work and aid, perhaps they would be better served in disinvesting in all of the buildings, the cathedrals, the priceless art works, the stocks and shares they own, in order to compensate the children their priests have abused, the children they sold to “good Catholic families”, the children and mothers they abused in the Magdelene laundries, the families of the children they buried in Tuam, the physical abuse of school children they abused, the peasants and workers they scared into handing over their hard earned cash to their priests, nuns and monks, etc. etc. They might also want to compensate the Jews, gay people, travellers and Roma people that suffered as a result of the abuse and marginalisation they encouraged.
Not exactly “aid projects”. Maybe as an ex Catholic alter boy I’m a little biased!!
