“Not Rome itself.
The way i see it up until just the last very few years the Churches combined has had more power than any other power,

Also, Revelation says in no uncertain terms, when the angel explains the “mystery of the woman” in Chapter 17, that the woman is a city, not a church or churches:
“18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
