Avoiding Babylon At All Costs

Hanging outside the library at the Jesuit Gonzaga University in Spokane, WashingtonIf Rome be indeed the Babylon of the Apocalypse, and the Madonna enshrined in her sanctuaries be the very queen of heaven, for the worshipping of whom the fierce anger of God was provoked against the Jews in the days of Jeremiah, it is of the last consequence that the fact should be established, beyond all possibility of doubt; for that being once established, every one who trembles at the Word of God must shudder at the very thought of giving such a system, either individually or nationally, the least countenance or support--Alexander Hislop, from The Two Babylons or The Papal Worship.
