I often wonder if the RCC is the whore of Babylon in Revelation.


You are not alone in that, and if it is true then the protestant Churches are the daughters and also whores.

No, that is not true.

The Vatican is located across the river from the other hills of Rome. (Check it out)

Yeah, right, please explain timeline.

Protestants don’t worship Mary.

They don’t have a human on Earth who is said by the RCC to be infallible and God’s man on Earth.

Protestants don’t allow the purchases of indulgences as a way of mitigating a sin.

Protestants don’t worship saints even though every believer is a Saint, I’m talking about canonized saints.

I was baptized a Catholic but that was it.

I seem to recall Jesus mentioning eating of his body, broken for us (a metaphor) and drinking his blood (another metaphor) for the blood shed on our behalf. Yet Catholics only distribute the host, the priest gets the wine. Now, an argument could be made that providing even a sip of wine to their congregants could be rather expensive. Of course the Vatican could sell of their billions in dollars of art and artifacts, they could also help the poor this way but they are greedy leading me to once more think the RCC is the whore in Revelations.

People I know who were Catholics all said the same thing, they never read the Bible or were encouraged to read it on their own, why. I recently read an RCC apologist that they read the Bible all the time but I know 4 ex-Catholics who have said they never read the Bible during the service.
Oh yeah, one more thing, so, if a 1 day old baby dies, it goes to purgatory or hell because it didn’t get Baptized. That makes sense, if your Satan.

Protestant's worship the Bible, only, at least the ones I've belonged to. There's no elevating a man (Pope) or praying to folks other than God or Jesus. No man written Catechism, no numerous man made rules and regulations.

And, maybe Jesus (he's omniscient except for knowing the time of his return) maybe needed Peter to start the Church knowing how they would fall away from the true word and lead to Protestantism?

What religion was the Spanish Inquisition?
