The identification of the Church as the Whore of Babylon is also a theme found in much anti-Catholic literature from non-Adventist Protestants. But one cannot identify the Church as the Whore of Babylon since Rev. 18:20-24 shows God judges the Whore to avenge the apostles and prophets (v. 20) because “in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth” (v. 24). But the Catholic Church never killed apostles or prophets. Indeed, anti-Catholics continually claim that the Catholic Church did not even exist in the apostolic age.
