No.
The Catholic Church fits all the characteristics of the harlot.
I would highly encourage you to watch this, a team of biblical scholars tackle this specific topic.

Yes
Yes she is.. and if she is a Mother,, she must have Daughters… Her Daughters are those Protestant Churches that keep Her Mandate. The Mandate of the Church of Rome is Sunday Observance. The mark of the beast.
Woman in the Bible denotes the church
Ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The MOTHER OF HARLOTS And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the BLOOD OF THE SAINTS, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
woman drunken with the BLOOD OF THE SAINTS, this is the RCC throughout the dark ages, starting 325 AD at Nicaea in Constantine’s time 68 million Martyr’s were put to death where also the trinity belief came from!
The MOTHER OF HARLOTS means she has denominational Daughters that are harlots and they are all connected to the RCC By the umbilical cord of baptism! Baptizing in the titles of Father Son, Holy Ghost Matt 28;19
Anti-Christ IS Anti-WORD! Or doctrine and teachings against God’s Word (Jesus Christ -John 1:1)
A scriptural description of the trinity doctrine
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Matthew 23: 9 And CALL NO MAN FATHER upon the earth: for ONE is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Yes … The papal seat is the man of sin .. the popery and Islam are the two little horns of Revelation
Some work on the syncretism of Rome https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://archive.org/details/theTwoBabylons&ved=2ahUKEwiU_4Cfl-joAhUYv54KHQC9Cd8QFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw2m527cwm_Ng3Bzv002D8jm
A harlot.
Having read The book of Revelation, it does seem to fit the criteria, unfortunately.
The Papacy is the System of the Antichrist.
Could someone give just one example of Catholic dogma that would implicate her as a harlot?
Many Bible expositors concede the great prostitute that rides the beast is the secular, ungodly, unbelieving, wicked world system.
Matthew Perkins THE TEN HORNS THAT YOU SAW ARE TEN KINGS who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. (Revelation 17:12)
Make note of the ten kings mentioned, were going to see who they represented.
After this I saw in the night visions, and, BEHOLD, A FOURTH ANIMAL, awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; AND IT HAD TEN HORNS. (Daniel 7:7)
This is speaking of the Roman empire ruled by the Caesars and started in 63 BC. From are secular references we know St Ignatius died in Rome, and he was the bishop of the first Christian church.
Matthew Perkins Rejoice over her, O heaven, you holy ones, apostles, and prophets; for Elohim has judged your judgment on her.” (Revelation 18:20)
When Rome was established, there was a lot of persecutions taking place against the disciples, such as the prophet Agabus, Rome killed them all off.
Thanks for the comments but I don’t see how any of these are answering the question. What is just one thing the Catholic church teaches as dogma that would implicate her as a harlot?
Matthew Perkins not finished…Here is the mind that has wisdom. THE SEVEN HEADS ARE SEVEN MOUNTAINS, ON WHICH THE WOMAN SITS. (Revelation 17:9)
Rome sits on seven hills, and Vatican city sits on her. In the Hebrew language, the words Mountains and hills are derived from the same word.
Roman Catholic Church which sits upon seven hills, and their names are:
Aventinus (Aventine)
Caelius (Caelian)
Capitolium (Capitoline)
Esquiliae (Esquiline)
Palatium (Palatine)
Quirinalis (Quirinal)
Viminalis (Viminal)
Okay these seems like a pretty obscure relationship that is very speculative and only relating geographically. One could infer many things from this. Is this the best evidence for the claim that the Catholic church is a harlot? a geographical reference?
Confessions of the Church
They [Roman Catholics] refer to the Sabbath Day, as having been changed into the Lord’s Day, contrary to the Decalogue (Ten Commandments)…Neither is there any example whereof they make more than concerning the changing of the Sabbath Day. Great, say they, is the power of the Church, since it has dispensed with one of the Ten Commandments!” Philip Melanchthon, Augsburg Confession of Faith, article 28, approved by Martin Luther in 1530, as published in (The Book of Concord of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Henry Jacobs, editor (1911), p. 63.)
There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that Sabbath day was not Sunday. It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week, with all its duties, privileges and sanctions. Earnestly desiring information on this subject, which I have studied for many years, I ask, where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament absolutely not.
Confessions of the Church
We have made the change from the seventh day to the first day, from Saturday to Sunday, on the authority of the one holy, catholic, apostolic church of Christ.” (Bishop Symour, Why We Keep Sunday, Article 12.)
“I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.’ The Catholic Church says: ‘No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.’ And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” (T. Enright, C.S.S.R., in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18,1884.)
All the above materials was published by Christians in the late 1800’s, lets look at more.
Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” (Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, 1900.)
Confessions of the Church
By a stroke of tactical genius the Church, while intolerant of pagan beliefs, was able to harness the powerful emotions generated by pagan worship. Often, churches were sited where temples had stood before, and many heathern festivals were added to the Christian calendar. Easter, for instance, a time of sacrifice and rebirth in the Christian year, takes its name from the Norse goddess Eostre., in whose honour rites were held every spring. She in turn was simply a northern version of the Phoenician earth-mother Astarte, goddess of fertility. Easter eggs continue an age-old tradition in which the egg is a symbol of birth; and cakes which were eaten to mark the festivals of Astarte and Eostre were the direct ancestors of our hot-cross buns. (Readers Digest – The last two thousand years – Pagan rights absorbed)
The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ hidden under a veil of flesh (The Catholic national july 8th 1895).
maybe, maybe not. repent and believe the gospel.
And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BAVEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17:5)
Bavel the great, mother of prostitutes. We can see from this verse there are a lot of children of the “Mother of Whores,” lets look at more historical references to see if we can identify her children.

Many factors have contributed to the development of new religious groups, some have said the various religions all represent different ways of presenting religious truth. But a comparison of there teaching and practices with the bible indicates, rather that the diversity of religions is because people have become followers of men instead of listening to God. It is note worthy to a large extent, teachings they hold in common that differ from the bible are originated in ancient Babylon. (Reasoning from the scriptures 1985-1989)
Nope, Babylon is.
Church – The etymology of this word is generally assumed to be from the Greek kuriou oikos (house of God); but this is most improbable, as the word existed in all the Celtic dialects long before the introduction of Greek. No doubt the word means “a circle”. The places of worship among the German and Celtic nations were always circular (Welsh, cyrch; French, cirque; Scotch, kirk; Greek, kirk-os, etc.). Compare Anglo-Saxon circe, a church, with circol, a circle. (The Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894).Circe is always pictured as a goddess that holds a golden cup in her hand, we have included one of the many renderings used within paganism at the beginning of this study.
The prophecy concerning this great false religion called Christianity, which was established by Ignatius in 118 CE, and eventually brought the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church. Starting around the fifteenth century it started giving birth to what would be thousands of different protestant doctrines and denominations. We have seen gentiles who learned the Hebrew culture separate from it and create a new theology and doctrine which they called Christianity. They were the Christians, the followers of Jesus Christ. When we look at the abominations the church has committed, were not just talking about annulling the Sabbath days, establishing Easter, defining a trinity, changing the name of the Anointed, and annulling the old testament. We have seen throughout their history that they established their own laws and precepts and were involved in many perversions and lies as it served their purpose.
The whore of Babylon is the spirit of our secular culture that seduces and destroys our souls. The catholic church is an ancient institution that has its issues but does not fit this definition.
Yes
It is a cult
If it wasn’t for the Catholic Church there would be no Christianity. News Flash, it is never going away, never, ever, ever, ever, ever. Get over it.
No the Roman Catholic church is the Antichrists church as the Vicar of Christ ( Pope) is Anti Christ
You anti Catholic people are nuts.
No, the Jewish leaders and those who followed in the first century are the harlot mentioned in Revelation. They ran after a false religion when they rejected their Messiah. Example of Jewish harlotry in OT
Jer 3:6 KJV The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
I certainly am not opposed to that idea
They sure have the appearance.
Someone described them as a representation of deviant worship
Yes
Act 11:26 KJV And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The “catholic church”? No. “Catholic” is indeed a good, biblical descriptor of the body of Christ.
But I figure you mean the Roman Catholic Church. In that case, it might well be the Harlot of Babylon, because she has spilled much blood of the saints. Having said that, I don’t think we can be certain of the identify of the Harlot of Babylon until the end of the age.
Whore of Babylon?
Nope. Old Testament Jerusalem.A women who’s drunk by the blood of the saints.Revelation chap 17:6
No, Babylon the Mother of Harlots is America
Pretty sure that’s what’s being interpreted
Some believe it’s papal Rome
Some believe this is the Catholic Church. Others do not. Is it important?
Nothing in the current context of worldview can be ascribed to the harlot mentioned in Revelation.
based on what scripture(s) ???
Yes
Yes.
Think of The little horn
