The Left Behind Series
I have been reading the Left Behind series and the books seem like things we would belive.The books also talks bad about the Catholics, and that made me think that we didn't believe these things. The books outline many things in the Bible. As in the Antichrist, the world being one currency and many others.

Dear Candice: The "Left Behind" is a bunch of bunk. The theology from which the book is based is called "dispensationalism". The Dispensational Theology is a man-made notion invented around 150 years ago. The Church does not teach this theology and has never taught such theology on the End Times. The Catholic Church interprets the End Days according to the Holy Spirit, not man-made opinions. I would advise that you throw those books away; they will only confuse you. There is, by the way, a book out that refutes the "Left Behind" theology. It exposes the errors. It is called, Will Catholics Be Left Behind: A Critique of the Rapture and Today's Prophecy Preachers (Modern Apologetics Library) Also useful is the Cassette tape: Catholics and the Rapture: Will You Be Caught Up Or Left Behind?
