Millennium

MILLENNIUM

BASIC R.C. BELIEF A long period of time during which Satan’s power will be diminished so people can live for God. That time, most theologians say, is between Christ’s first coming (or the fall of the Imperial Rome) and the end of the world which, of course, is now.

POST VATICAN II In the fall of 1986, Pope John Paul II indicated his desire for an “ecumenical millennium” lasting from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 3000.
