No. More likely a world religion. If one reads Keys To The Blood or The Jesuits both by Malachi Martin the reality of the push for a NWO and the international power plays and marxist thinking in and out of the church have been well known and a reality for all for decades. The unbelief and heresy along side of faith has always been an artful balancing act among the leadership in the Vatican and South America. I don’t know what the plans might be but the rise of the beast and the false prophet will surely take center stage. I don’t think the beast or the anti-christ will be the pope as much of early protestantism believed. I think every power is vying for control and a place at the table in this NWO or global confederacy and redistribution of power.
I hold the historic Protestant view of Rome. I didn’t always believe that, but after spending a lot of time reading long dead Protestants I have changed my mind.
