By the way. I searched through a pile of sites claiming that the RCC was the whore of Babylon. I couldn't find one that made any distinction similar to what you ahve been saying. A couple did identify 17:6 as speaking of Rome, but none of them said that it was unique to Rome. That "no other kingdom fit "Now name me any empire since Christ that both Put Christians to death and because of the way that empire was structured, also ordered other authorities under their jurisdiction to do the same. There are none but that of the Holy Roman Empire which was headed by the Roman Catholic Church."
Can you give me a link to someone else with your special interpretive twist? Maybe they made the (wrong) argument better than you did.

The whore is guilty of the blood of saints and of Martyrs. You explain it. Last time I looked, You have to be a saint in order to be a martyr. which means there is a distinction there. So, have at it. I'll go get my popcorn cause what you do to this should be priceless.
