That's hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.
Catholics got some extra crazy somewhere around 2000-2008, I can't pinpoint when it happened, but the community changed somewhere around that time. Like there was normal conservative Catholic, and then suddenly I noticed that Evangelical type start to join up. I'm no longer practicing now and consider myself agnostic.
They were preparing for the rapture of 2012. Must have been quite akward the following Sunday at church when everbody showed up.
I read an interesting take on 2012, which the Mayans or some ancient civilization also predicted. That the end of the world would be slow, and take years. It’s not going to be instant. I think it’s happening now, this cursed timeline that we’re all in.
Yeah that’s what I thought I also remembered about the time. I was just a kid though but it’s stuck with me for some reason lol
So fucking weird.
