Revelation 17

My evangelical friend James (CPZM) claims to believe that Revelation 17 is about the Catholic Church, apparently along with many other evangelicals, if this article is anything to go by.

Since we know that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus and He promised to defend it against doctrinal error, we know this interpretation must be illogical and misguided, if not mendacious. And in fact, simple Web searches produce articles with sound logic and deep scholarship explaining the true state of affairs:

It is too bad that evangelicals aren't really interested in sound logic and scholarship when it comes to the true Faith. They are much too interested in powerful images and demagoguery.
