Is there a Catholic council that established the dogma that the eschaton is in "Heaven" rather than in the Promised Land?
score:2
Accepted answer
It appears that a belief in a new creation which would have some earthly aspect to it has never been abandoned, though this is not well-known. See The Catholic Encyclopedia (1917) on the New Advent website under "Eschatology," the last paragraph:
There is mention also of the physical universe sharing in the general consummation (2 Peter 3:13; Romans 8:19 sqq.; Revelation 21:1 sqq.). The present heaven and earth will be destroyed, and a new heaven and earth take their place.
