    Christian Protestants are the daughters of the mother church, the Catholic Church. All worldly religions combined are the whore mentioned in Revelations.

    This belief was first perpetuated during the Protestant Reformation, though most church-goers today do not realize this. Martin Luther and other reformers, in an attempt to win people over to their "new' version of Christianity, effectively went on a smear campaign to make the Catholic Church look as bad as possible. This is where ths idea of the Catholic Church being the whore of Babylon and the Pope being the Anti-Christ, came from.

    The RC IS NOT the whore in Revelations, that is a fallacy spread by Jack Click and some very fringe fundamentalists and Christianzed cults. If you check out the Click zines the man is crazy and really hates the Catholic church, think about it the whore and fuss about the 7 hills, The Vatican is not even in Rome it's it's own country outside of Rome and not on a hill, and the woman we honor is the mother of Jesus Christ for her saying yes to God.

    Not offended just sad that folks get so confused about the Bible, ah that's why Jehovah's Witness's run from Catholics

    Revelations was not written for us, but was, as we now know, written for the earkt Church in persecution. By the way, every single Christian religion came out of the Catholic Religion. Catholic means universal-for all, as Christ intended it. Most Christian breakaway/Protestant religions follow many of the same practices and/or beliefs...in other words, they tweaked and cherry picked Catholic theology. AND most did so in the recent past, say no more than 500 years. And isn't it amazing how many Protestant/breakaway religions had their follower breakaway and tweak theology...sort of like a the Catholic Church is the tree and Protestant churches are roots, and from those roots there are off shoots and there are off shoots from some of the off shoots as well....please do some research. I wrote a thesis on this in college...got an A...plus, and didn't offend anyone...you can't just SAY no offense and then have permission to offend...just consider what I have presented

    I just don't think that the roman Catholic Church will be the Great Whore spoken of in Revelations. I think this is symbolic for the Earth and it's bad inhabitants and the Anti Christ.

    Church doctrine isn't something that's voted on by applying priests and bishops. We acquire what substitute into first surpassed right down to us. That mentioned, it sort of feels your greater suitable question is relating to the region of girls human beings interior the Church. no longer purely can we've the super woman saints of historic previous, even at present there are various females people who artwork tirelessly for the Church -- no count if in Catholic universities, Catholic hospitals, Diocesan workplaces, parishes, etc., etc. in basic terms visit a non secular ed convention and count style the variety of adult adult males vs. women human beings. I assure you will come across a plenty bigger proportion of girls human beings at such events than the uncomplicated. yet of direction, that is not a contest. all of us could be approximately build up the Church in any way we are able to. And all of us (no count if guy or female) have limitless avenues available for us to do in basic terms that. custom is the coaching of Jesus as given directly to the Apostles. interior the commencing up substitute into the observe, and the observe substitute into with God. All issues got here into being by using Him, and without Him no longer one element got here into being. What has come into being. What got here into being in Him substitute into life, and the life substitute into the easy of each and every person.[John one million:one million-4] the classes of Christ, the doctrine of the Church, have been entrusted to the Apostles and their descendents, the magisterium of the Church. The magisterium is the coaching authority of the Church, made out of the pope and bishops. The magisterium is guided by applying the Holy Spirit, to confirm that by using all generations we acquire the comparable teachings, the custom, because of the fact the Apostles. In time, those teachings have been written down. ...Sacred custom, sacred Scripture, and the coaching authority of the Church, in accord with God's maximum sensible layout, are so linked and joined at the same time that one can not stand without the others, and that each and everybody at the same time and each and each in its own way under the action of the Holy Spirit make a contribution to the salvation of souls [Dogmatic shape on Divine Revelation, Ch 2:10]

    Still offensive. Good job. I recommend you delete this question, or apologize at the very least.

    The Catholic Church is the original Christianity, therefore it's hard to imagine that it could be the Whore of Babylon.

    Your question might have not sounded insulting if you had provided a line of reasoning and logic. What made you think to ask this? Why the Roman Catholic Church specifically?

    Wow, on weekends, do you walk into African-American neighborhoods and shout "Ni**er" and then say that you meant no offense?

    Asking an intolerant, hateful question is not "undone" by following it up with the phrase "no offense"

    PS: I'm agnostic, so I have no reason to want to defend the RC Church. I just think that your question is really ignorant and offensive.

    PPS: if you had any class, you'd apologize for asking it or delete it. "no offense" doesn't cut it.

    PPPS: Yet you STILL don't get it, do you, according to your additional comments.

    Let me see if I can hammer this home for you:

    "Who believes that tr2thhrt is a great whore?

    Oh, I mean no offense."

    Now, are you offended?

    Did it matter that I added "no offense"?

    Oh, and go ahead and report my answer. Yahoo will just nail you as well.

    tr2thhrt,

    Yeah, I believe that. Not to offend anyone, it's just that the organization fits the bill.

    She sits on many waters. The kings of the earth thing. The riches of her. Her power over the earth. The mixture of Christianity with paganism.

    It all seems to be there.

    See? Even an agnostic comes to bail her out! The post above?
