Think the Catholic Church is the "Whore of Babylon," full of spiritually dead statue-worshippers? Think the very earliest Christian Church 'services' were more like those of modern Evangelicals or Pentecostals rather than a sacrificial Mass? Perhaps you will find some answers here.The "Whore of Boston" is certainly Cardinal Law.
Yes, I do believe the Catholic Church in the USA at least is nigh unto being spritiually dead. I see people taking communion, then walking right out of church before the benediction.
I have sat in a Catholic church and listened to the priest talk about how he couldn't write a letter of reference for a couple moving to a new parish because he couldn't find any record of their monetary contributions since they didn't use the envelopes.
And if you really wanted to talk about early Christianity you would be talking about the Orthodox church, or the Waldensians.

Interesting. Well, to talk about the Orthodox, you'd have to talk about the Catholics since one left the other. Which one depends on your beliefs but they both existed as early Christianity. One could call it Western and Eastern Christianity. But to say the Catholic Church didn't exist until 1054 is idiotic.
The Waldensians; were these one of those mythical "original evangelistic" groups that the RCC of course persecuted? If so, how could the RCC do it if it didn't exist until 1054?
