There should be no priest in the church, I believe this is an abomination. If you read in Hebrews we see that Jesus is the High Priest. We don't go to the priest to confess our sins we go straight to Jesus. Maybe this is why the Roman Catholic church is refered to as the Great Whore---because they are going to someone other than Jesus to confess sins.

Let's look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
In the origional text, there were no commas or periods.
Verse 5 says in our Bible:
"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ' and will deceive many'".
That COULD also say:
"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I (Jesus) am the Christ' and will deceive many.'"
Catholics worldwide say that Jesus IS the Christ. However, their teachings deceive many.

Yes, if you went to a Catholic Mass and was exposed to the truth you just couldn't resist God. Yes Catholicism is not for all the body but it is part of the body and Christians should stop bashing the Holy Roman Catholic Church! If you are a true Christian you would stop but the evilness in you won't let you. Does the hand say to the foot I don't need you? We are all the body of Christ and we need to walk in love not hate or judgment we are not God.

well when you take into account that "catholic" means "united" or universal", if you want to get technical, we are all a part of the "catholic church" or "united church". However, because there are so many man made doctrines out there and religious pride to be found in each one, I pertsonally will settle to be a part of the "bride of christ"

Great harlot will be all denominations that whore after the fake messiah. Catholics can be very dangerous as well as Protestants. Does the Vatican teach of the endtime deceiver coming and claiming to be Christ? What do they teach?
And yes the harlot will sit in Jerusalem worshipping the false christ. I would think the Pope and his followers would be right there worshipping him.

I looked up what they teach and they have a Amillennialism teaching, which is very dangerous.
Amillennialism
The amillennial view interprets Revelation 20 symbolically and sees the millennium not as an earthly golden age in which the world will be totally Christianized, but as the present period of Christ’s rule in heaven and on the earth through his Church. This was the view of the Protestant Reformers and is still the most common view among traditional Protestants, though not among most of the newer Evangelical and Fundamentalist groups.
Amillennialists also believe in the coexistence of good and evil on earth until the end. The tension that exists on earth between the righteous and the wicked will be resolved only by Christ’s return at the end of time. The golden age of the millennium is instead the heavenly reign of Christ with the saints, in which the Church on earth participates to some degree, though not in the glorious way it will at the Second Coming.
Amillennialists point out that the thrones of the saints who reign with Christ during the millennium appear to be set in heaven (Rev. 20:4; cf. 4:4, 11:16) and that the text nowhere states that Christ is on earth during this reign with the saints.
They explain that, although the world will never be fully Christianized until the Second Coming, the millennium does have effects on earth in that Satan is bound in such a way that he cannot deceive the nations by hindering the preaching of the gospel (Rev. 20:3). They point out that Jesus spoke of the necessity of "binding the strong man" (Satan) in order to plunder his house by rescuing people from his grip (Matt. 12:29). When the disciples returned from a tour of preaching the gospel, rejoicing at how demons were subject to them, Jesus declared, "I saw Satan fall like lightning" (Luke 10:18). Thus for the gospel to move forward at all in the world, it is necessary for Satan to be bound in one sense, even if he may still be active in attacking individuals (1 Pet. 5:8).
The millennium is a golden age not when compared to the glories of the age to come, but in comparison to all prior ages of human history, in which the world was swallowed in pagan darkness. Today, a third of the human race is Christian and even more than that have repudiated pagan idols and embraced the worship of the God of Abraham.
They are basically saying Christ won't be here during the millennium(1,000 years) and He will rule earth form heaven through the church. It's not hard to prove this a lie, lets look at the what the word of God says:
2 Thes 2
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
If satan is bound in chains then he could could do no work nor sit in the temple of God. There is also danger in following one man(The Pope) chosen by men. Many shall follow him right into the arms of the false one.
