The Catholic Church is a blend of Semiramis worship and Roman Emperor worship. Long ago, in ancient Babylon, was a pagan system of worship that was based on the Queen of Babylon, Semiramis and her infant “god” son, Damu. This paganism had spread throughout the ancient world and after Christ came in the flesh, and as the church grew and eventually became corrupted, the Catholic priests who went about the world evangelizing encountered this mother goddess and child wherever they went no matter what culture they came upon.
To make “conversion” to “Christianity” easier, the priests incorporated this paganism into the church. They changed Semiramis to Mary. They changed her son, Damu, to Jesus. Hence the Madonna and child was transferred from ancient Babylon and incorporated into the teachings of the church. No wonder God refers to this corrupt, perverted “church” as “the whore of Babylon”! (A spiritual slut) See Revelation 17:4-6.
Likewise, as the Roman Empire lost ground, and the emperor became weaker, the pope grew up in his place and eventually replaced the Roman emperor. So emperor worship was also incorporated into this perverted bride, and displayed in the position of the pope.
And that is why we see elements both of Rome and of Babylon in the Catholic Church and find allusions to both in references to the whore in the book of Revelation.
