You've been listening to your protestant pastor too much. Most modern Protestant scholars no longer agree with the earlier heretics and freemasons who made this hideous claim against Christ's Church. At least the Catholic Church is wise and humble enough to acknowledge that the Book of Revelation, written in code, is a mystery that can't be clearly interpreted in its entirety. Funny, how can find the audacity to call the church Jesus Christ founded and promised to "be with forever>" (Mathew 28:20) a "whore".
