Mike/Dick,
   Eschatology has been an amazing subject for a long time.  The Apostle
Paul fully expected end times to be every tomorrow of his life.  Through
the ages groups of Christians have interpreted different signs in Heaven
and earth to be forecasters for judgement day.  People have gone to
mountaintops to wait for Jesus to return.  There have been all types of
entanglements.  I recall an "independent evangelist" a few years ago,
decleared himself a prophet, took a group of pilgrims from San Francisco to
a small country in South America and sat up a camp to wait for the coming
of the Lord.  Legal inconsistancies occuring, US representatives were
called in and facing the shutdown of the camp, he directed his "pilgrims"
to drink poison KoolAid.  As I recall about 400 people voluntarily
committed suicide (with his coaxing).  I don't think that's what Jesus had
in mind.

    The important think for we Catholics (and all Christians) to remember
is that Jesus is coming soon...  just like he said he would. We need to
live like he told us to live in the meantime.  We'll get to answer for it
all face to face.

    As far as when it will be...   by generalities, it couldn't be too much
longer, but he gave us a better answer than that.  Be ready at all times,
and don't trust any signs.  He'll come like a thief in the night.
