Orson Pratt proclaimed:
"Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces
by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness.
Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers
of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent"
