Roman Catholicism is that entity that is going to be used as that last day false religious system with one of the future Pope's as the false prophet. The antichrist is going to make it possible for the RCC to get the papal power that they desire, which is to bring all people under her system. And just like it was of old, anyone resists her will be labeled as a Heretic and therefore, an enemy of the Church. Because of what Constantine did by proclaiming Christianity as the official religion of Rome, the office of pope took on both political and religious authority and this is still their agenda. They just don't have the power to enforce it yet, but will When that antichrist comes and anyone who is not for them is against them. If anyone wants to truly find out about the history of the pope's and the RCC and all of their atrocities, I would suggest getting a copy of Dave Hunts: "A Woman Who Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church in the Last Days." This book goes into detail regarding the office of the pope and its origins, how they controlled kings and their armies under threat of ex-communication, her involvement in the three major inquisitions, which included imprisonment, confiscation of property, torture and in many cases death. Her agenda is the same today and that is to bring all people under her control and anyone who does not comply will be a heretic and therefore an enemy, which will be dealt with by force.
Roman Catholicism and her pope's have forgotten what Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone will not listen to your words, when you leave that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." Or When John and James said, "Do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them" Jesus said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them." When the pope and the RCC get the power back that they have desired, then the people will see her true colors.
