The harlot and the beast

In this post  I want to put forth some thoughts regarding the revelation of the Harlot of Babylon, the cherished whore-virgin of the gnostics and the mother of all abominations of earth - the allegorized Roman "Catholic" church. The roman church was one of the most faithful churches of the apostles' age. As we read in Romans:

Romans:
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.




Isaiah1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
