Not really, I don't think so. It is talking about kids killing their parents and parents killing their kids. This is found at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 HAVING NO NATURAL AFFECTION, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."
You'll notice that we are told to turn away from these things. In other words don't be any of these things.

May I as a Baptist answer? Thank you. The Catholic Church is not the mother of the Baptist Church. What Baptists believe, existed long before the Catholic Church was organized. We are grouped for statistical purposes as Protestants, but we are not. We have accepted this grouping, because it has little to do with who we are and what we believe.

Many thought the end times were at hand when German Children turned in their parents to the Gestapo. Have you seen a time in our history when so many children were giving their parents grief than you see today.

I do not equate the Protestant revolution with with parental problems. The "mother church" as you call it, was in direct scriptural conflict with Martin Luther. He started the split, and praise God, it continues today. That was my doozy answer.
