This report takes a serious look at the Roman Catholic Church, both past and present. There is a powerful back-to-Rome movement throughout Christianity today, from liberal Protestantism to Charismaticism to Evangelicalism. These either accept the Roman Catholic Church non-critically or, more commonly, they acknowledge that Rome has serious doctrinal errors but speak of these in soft terms and refuse to treat rome as Protestants and Baptists once did, as the forerunner to the Harlot of Revelation 17.
