Whore of Babylon reveals itself?

I have to admit that as a relatively new Catholic I was taken aback at this:

Hard to justify any attempt by the Vatican to support a New World Order or a Central World Bank or any other global authority which individual nations would be subservient to. Doesn't look prudent and seems to be a parody of what Mormons expect of the Whore of Babylon.

I guess the joy of being Catholic is that if the Vatican says something I completely disagree with I can just ignore it ...

I just groaned at the suggestion. More fuel for anti-Catholics. <on knees pleading for smilies>

Anti-Catholics? What do you have to say to be an anti-Catholic?

Hell, most of the Catholics I've met only take it marginally seriously (which is why I find it by far the least objectionable religion around). I guess religion is like wine... the older, the better, but too much of it still makes you an asshole.
