There is no official Catholic teaching on raptures or apocalypses. Scripture states that even the elect will face trials and tribulations, which will be shortened for their sake, but not avoided. As members of the Mystical Body of Christ, we accept suffering as penance and reparation for sin in the world.

Transcript:

I don't know an official Catholic teaching of such raptures that there are apocalypses, and the Holy Scriptures are saying that even the elect, the chosen one, will be in trials of tribulations. But because of the elect one, says the Lord, the tribulation will be shortened, but not simple, they will not be spared. We belong to the Mystical Body of Christ, and together we are suffering with the entire Mystical Body and suffering in accepting the tribulations in the chastisements in the spirit of penance for all sins and reparation for the other great sins of the world. This is Catholic teaching.
