“The Church here in Babylon, united with you by God’s election, sends you her greeting, and so does my son, Mark” (1 Pet. 5:13, Knox).

Rome has seven hills, right? And the Beast has seven horns, right? Hence the beast is symbolic of Rome, right? Only problem is... the Vatican isn't one of Rome's seven hills.... Bummer, dude. The Rome/Babylon spoken of in the early epistles was pagan Rome under Nero, not Christian Rome.

If not for Christian Rome and her near 2,000 year heritage led on by Divine Providence, you'd probably still be praying to Demeter to give you good crops this year.
