I have one more bone to pick with Lee, and the Protestants. This notion that the RCC is the whore of Babylon is a bunch of bunkum. How convenient to objectify the whore as the RCC.

If you ask me the whore of Babylon is the collective flesh nature ; the flesh, the fleshly mind, and the fleshly self.

But we don't want to admit that about ourselves. We'd rather objectify it upon the RCC, to point away from ourselves and our fleshly nature.

So Lee could distract us from himself as our need for a fleshly leader, or a leader in the flesh, by pointing us to the bogyman the RCC.

Lifting Lee up as we did was nothing short of "the need for a fleshly king," like the Jews in the OT. We needed something in the flesh to look up to. So, in the end, Lee was the whore of Babylon. Can you blame him, given his need for his own megalomania, for objectifying the whore as the RCC? It suited his own needs ; the needs of the flesh, and our needs too, for the need to have a fleshly representative of God.

And that's the whore of Babylon...that need for a fleshly leader.
