From the book:

The Two Babylons - or

The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife

by the Late Rev. Alexander Hislop

First published as a pamphlet in 1853—greatly expanded in 1858

NOTE BY THE EDITOR

“Had the lamented author been spared to superintend the issue of the Fourth Edition of his work, it is probable he would have felt himself called upon to say something in reference to the political and ecclesiastical events that have occurred since the publication of the last edition. By the authoritative promulgation of the dogma of the Pope’s Infallibility, his argument as to the time of the slaying of the Witnesses, and his identification of the Roman pontiff as the legitimate successor of Belshazzar have been abundantly confirmed.”.

I have the book and read it many years ago. Interesting read.

The influence of Mithras upon Christianity is interesting.

For anyone who actually cares about the truth, there is a fascinating debunking of Hislop published by one of his former believers:

Ralph Woodrow was such a devotee of Hislop’s nonsense that he originally published a book pushing it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Mystery_Religion

When he realized the truth - that Hislop had no idea of what he was talking about - he published the second book debunking Hislop’s book and his own original book.

At this point, decades later, only uneducated twits believe Hislop.

For anyone not wanting to read the whole book, here is an article in which Woodrow disavows Hislop's book:

Did the Catholic Church Have Its Origin in Paganism? Here's one quote from Woodrow's article:

My reason for pulling the original book out of print was quite basic: Citing similarities between Catholic practices and pagan practices proves nothing if there is no actual connection. One could take virtually anything—even McDonald’s golden arches—and do the same: The Encyclopedia Americana (article: “arch”) says the use of arches was known in Babylon as early as 2020 B.C. As Babylon was called “the golden city” (Is. 14:4, KJV), can there be any doubt about the origin of the golden arches? As silly as this is, this is the type of proof that has been offered again and again about the supposed pagan origins of the Catholic Church.

I read the book over four decades ago.

I had a C-Band satellite dish and Dr Gene Scott recommended it.
