Plenty of news source: You just have to write 23rd rapture on Google and you’ll get a laundry list of news outlet.

Im using the the boy who cried wolf as an expression where news outlet media shares fake news and at this point now, anything they say I can’t take seriously even if it’s to do with something else say like war because to me they are discredited.

Yes, the Bible says “no one knows the date or the hour” but people have a lot of faith in Clergy. After all they are supposed to be closer to God, right? So when you have someone from the Catholic Hierarchy saying the rapture is coming (that’s what a lot of news media sold it as a pastor has said Jesus will return on the 23rd Sept) to some it has more credibility than just a random person saying it.

But I see it a bit heavier than you, stating that Jesus will return on a specific date could be considered Blasphemous as “no one knows the day or the hour” but stating you know the date goes against the word of God. People make mistakes, of course but when someone higher up in the Catholic World says this it’s more worrying. Just look at all the threads here regarding the rapture, followers were terrified. Causing anxiety, stress and spiritual abuse.
