Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-05 00:00:00 Neil Anstett 87/100 (= 5.1/6) ≈ 5 Stars ----------------------------------------- Superbly written. This one falls more on the careful side of scripture commentary, pointing out the mind of the Church. He does a fabulous job of categorizing the level of certitude on each point (again there are far more things that are certain for us Catholics than we imagine at first!), but also showing the various opinions on each point and who held which opinion (in the wonderful style of one of the Church's most renowned scripture scholars, Fr. Cornelius à Lapide, SJ). Highly recommended for information about the final stages of history, look elsewhere for information about the stages just prior to those final stages (concerning the great apostasy/persecution and the great (Marian) triumph/conversion -- the dress rehearsal to the final stages).

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-05 00:00:00 Lisa Collins For such a thin book (59 pages), it has a lot of stuff to absorb. And the small print isn’t terribly easy on my bespectacled old eyes. Moreover, while it has a lot of detailed (and disturbing) information that members of The Faith (clergy and laity alike) would do well to heed, the author (God rest his soul) has a rather dry writing style that is not the most readable, which makes such a thin book such a struggle to finish. That said, I do love this passage of Fr. Huchedé on pp: 55-56 regarding the End Times (and something is completely lost which all these whackball quasi-Christian cults who keep cocksurely predicting the imminent End of Days and failing miserably every time): “Moreover, a foreknowledge either of the proximate or remote approach of this terrible catastrophe would only serve to make us the victims either of fear or presumption.” The author backs this assertion with the solid Sacred Scriptural foundation of Matthew 24:36 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3. Dominus Vobiscum.
