Catholicism is a faith that teaches hope and the belief that we continue living even after our physical death.  This hope is grounded in our belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  But what exactly does the Church teach about death and eternity?  What do we believe about the second coming of Jesus Christ?  Why are some of our beliefs and teachings different from our Protestant brothers and sisters?  This class will attempt to explore all areas of Church teaching regarding Eschatology or the “end things” that we wonder about, hope for, and profess as believing Catholics.
