I’m not Catholic, but can you explain your comment #1?

If you really meant to call the Catholic Church the whore of rome, I’m hitting abuse.

Or you can do it yourself.

Thank you for that, Larry. By pointing out that insults help no-one you help us Catholic posters realize that not all our non-Catholic brethren are "burn 'em Caflix" -- we can debate and argue civilly and further the work of Our Lord

This article points out how the bishops got greedy and allowed Weltbild in 1998 (actually the question of how much actual control the bishop's have is unanswered) to merge with other publishing houses that sold such magazines

Was this stupid of the bishops? Yes. What the heck is a religious publishing house doing getting involved in mergers? And if it got involved in a "merger" doesn't that mean that the stock and ownership was diluted?

too many questions

The story speaks for itself. Since my religious affiliation is being requested (for some sort of counter attack I presume), I'll humor y'all with it. I am a Fundie (of sorts)! I try to stick to the Bible and do not belong to any particular denomination. My ancestry is Anabaptist on my father's side and Separatist on my mother's. The Catholic church killed many of my saintly ancestors and actively persecuted many of the rest for their adherence to biblical teachings as they perceived them and their refusal to recant the truth they believed.

In answer to your question: I was just joking Larry, don't "abuse" me. The Catholic "universal" church which killed my Christ following ancestors down through the ages should not be confused with the Great Whore of Rome that counterfeit church that is drunk on the blood of the saints down through the ages. Obviously that must refer to some other large church organization based in Rome, but I can see how you could make the mistake. ;)

On a side note I led my son in a prayer for Christ's salvation on what is now yesterday. And he is now praying for the soul of his toddler brother, and Kindergarten classmates.
