 Which religious entity? Is she the Roman Catholic Church, as some have maintained? Or is she all Christendom? No, she must be even larger than  these if she is to  mislead all the nations. She is, in fact,  the entire world empire of false religion. Her origin in the mysteries of Babylon is shown in that many Babylonish doctrines and practices are common to religions around the earth.
