isnt the apocalypse stuff mostly a catholic thing?

No. The apocalypse permeates the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments. You can find it in Isaiah, Joel, Job, Daniel, Zechariah, and the writings of Paul, John, Luke, Mark and Peter, to name a few. It was all written from 400 to 1000 years before the bishops of Rome gained "universal" authority.
