This starts to look like the abuse of any kind and standing on the side of abusers and monsters is actually the "folklore" of Christian church. Makes a lot of sense, then, that reformation big wigs identified Catholic church as the Whore of Babylon, because her daughters are exactly all those protestant denominations that are a spitting image of their “mother.” (Though, I would say that any priestly church institution following the Sumerian model fits that bill.)
