According to the Vatican, this is the Year of the Eucharist.  http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/special_features/eucharist/index_en.html
If this is the time of the rapture, what could be more fitting than the earthly celebration of the Communion of Saints (Lord's Supper)... just before the wedding supper (the heavenly Communion of Saints).
 
Here is info on the College of Cardinals.

This year is the Year of the Rooster (Chinese Zodiac)--what does a rooster do?  It crows to announce!  (farmyard, as well as the 3 times the Peter denied Christ).

The Jews were exiled to Babylon.  The WCC may be moving to Babylon.  Hmmmm... anyone else see the connection/parallels?  Same for the UN (especially if the U.S. becomes a third world country or destroyed or it is politically expedient to do so)... Judaism is both a faith and government...a theocracy...
 
Pray hard!
Fear not!  Occupy.  Look up!
