Associated Press ran this story yesterday: “Catholic orders plead poverty in Irish abuse“…

DUBLIN – The Catholic orders responsible for abusing Ireland’s poorest children say they’re struggling to come up with money to help their victims. Yet investigations into their net worth paint a very different picture — that of nuns and brothers with billions’ worth of carefully sheltered assets worldwide.

Back in about the year 2000 one of my uncles told me to expect a worldwide eruption of scandal and public backlash against the Roman Catholic Church targetting her morality and her money. He based his predictions on a) the conviction that all of Revelation up to chapter 18 was now history (i.e., fulfilled prophecy) and, b) that Revelation 18 predicts the humiliation of the Roman Catholic Church (“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!” – Rev 18:2) and her arrogant, persistent refusal to voluntarily confess her sins. Notice the triple themes of public humiliation, sexual sin and loss of wealth in the following excerpts from Revelation 18:2-8 and 15-17. And ask yourself, “Is Revelation 18 being fulfilled right now in my lifetime? And if so, is Revelation 19 next?”

Revelation 18:2-8 And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. For all nations have drunkthe wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.” Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.’ For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

Revelation 18:15-17 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”
