Why aren't more traditional Catholics concerned about food storage? We all know there's a chastisement coming. It just makes sense to put back food and other supplies for that time.
I don't know why. Some don't have time or money to "adequately" do so, so they basically leave the subject completely alone, if they don't go into complete denial on the topic.
It's hard to admit you need to prep, but can't for whatever reason.
I think a lot of people (including Catholics) are afraid of prepping.
When you get busy and DO something to prepare for an uncertain future, you are giving credence to the uncertainty itself, and it's a growing modern belief that the THOUGHT of something going wrong can become a CAUSE of the thing going wrong.
If everyone goes about their day thinking about rain, they say, that can make it rain. Or, like some bumper stickers say, "Visualize world peace." They believe that when enough people do that, we'll have world peace. Listen to Coast to Coast AM (radio program) with George Noory, and you'll hear it proclaimed that the radio audience has in the past been asked to put out positive thought energy toward a particular end, and that goal has been achieved. Weather patterns have been changed and lost people have been found soon after program listeners have pooled their thought energy. They do this instead of praying, but new-agers make no distinction between the two; they say it's all the same thing, prayer or thinking positive thoughts. (Not to say that projecting group-think malevolence isn't powerful too, but that's a "negative" thought! -- And leave it to some new-age lawyer to file lawsuit against the radio station if they were ever to evoke ill-will against anyone!)
Effectively, some think that organizing your life around preparation for an uncertain future means you are investing in uncertainty. Sort of like, be careful what you fear will happen, for your worst fears might make themselves come true.
