Seems to me there are much graver things for you to be defending the catholic church against such as the deletion of the book of revelations. Who could blame you, though, it clearly warns against the "Whore that sits on mnay waters, decked in purple and scarlet, and holding a golden cup full of abomination"
LOL. And on that hilariously inept note, can we ignore anything else you say as equally sloppy and inaccurate research?
If you think those guys look like prostitutes you must come from REALLY rough neighborhood.
Actually the whore that sits on many rivers decked in scarlet resembles more the various wacky denominations out there — like the Bib/Tut kirk of one, the Sentinelians, the Marcionites, the Branch Davidians etc. THAT is your real Whore of Babylon which has sprouted up 1600- 2000 years AFTER Christ.
