Sorry, but no thanks for the ecumenical spirit, for I do not believe that we should call brother those that follow false teachings. However, I understand the spirit and can appreciate that, but I am NOT Catholic, (labeled Anti-Catholic, actually, as well as Anti- Mormon) and the article is NOT about helping Catholics.

Then this will help you.

“Anti-Catholicism is as old as the Reformation. Martin Luther himself referred to the popes collectively as the “‘whore of the devil.’” (Vogel, 59 and Wright, 2:568.) Adam Clarke’s popular nineteenth-century Bible commentary equated the “great whore that sitteth upon many waters” (Rev. 17:1) with the Catholic Church. (Vogel, 60.) Some early nineteenth-century Protestant writings referred to the Roman Catholic Church as “‘the whore’” and the “‘mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.’” (Ibid.) Yet other religious figures of the day believed that not only were Catholics part of the “the whore,” but so were competing Protestants. (Ibid., 61.)”
