Furthermore, wealth was much more in character with pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem, both key economic centers, with pagan Rome being the key economic center of its whole empire. This argument is riddled with holes. This has nothing to do with Eucharistic chalices. Sadly enough, the Roman Catholic Church fits that description as precisely as she fits the others. Thus the Catholic Church produces harlots, and so is the Mother of Harlots.
Numerous problems abound.
Hunt has again lurched to an absurdly literal interpretation. He should interpret the harlotry of the Whore's daughters as the same as their mother's, which is why she is called their mother in the first place. Instead Hunt gives the ridiculous interpretation of the daughters as literal, earthly prostitutes committing literal, earthly fornication. Modern translations render it consistently. This section of the book abounds with historical errors, not the least of which is his implication that the Church endorses the forced conversion of nations.
