"Babylon the Great Has Fallen!"

 "The Wine of Her Fornication

A Prominent part of Babylon the Great is the Roman Catholic Church. The Church is governed by the pope in Rome and claims that each pope is a successor of the apostle Peter. Following are some published facts about these  so-called successors. 

Formosus (891-96):  "Nine months after his death, Formosus' body was disinterred from the papal crypt and arranged for trial before a 'cadaveric' council, at which Stephen [the new pope] presided.  The deceased pope was accused  of inordinate  ambition for the papal office and all his acts were declared invalid. . .  . The corpse was stripped of political robes; the fingers of the right hand were amputated." - New Catholic Encyclopedia.

Stephen VI (896-97): "Within a few months [of the trial of Formosus' corpse] a violent reaction ended the pontification of Pope Stephen, he was deprived of the pontifical insignia, imprisoned, and strangled." - New Catholic Encyclopedia.
