That's why I believe the RCC is the woman aboard the scarlet beast in Revelation 17. While there are several religions descended from the original Mystery, Babylon, only the RCC is based in Rome, the city of the "seven mountains" of Rev. 17. When the empire of the antichrist is through with her, it shall turn upon her & destroy her. RCs should take a warning from the actions of Hitler, who used the RCC until it had served his purpose, then he all but destroyed it outta the 3rd Reich. The antichrist is gonna make Hitler seem like a naughty toddler.

And, of these religions, the RCC is the only one that's quasi/pseudo Christian. While Islam is also worldwide, it's not centered in Rome, nor does it have any real power. If all the islamic nations were to band together, they'd stand no chance in a war with a "superpower'.
