127 the whore of Babylon
презр.вавилонская блудница ( о Римско-католической церкви) [этим. библ. Revelation XVII, 4-5]; см. тж. the Lady of BabylonWhat told you it was a Church was the steeple which rose from the front center; a square tower, with a round cylinder on top of that, there a smaller cube and then a very sharp and tall pyramid on that. Topping all was a lightning rod; but no cross - that would have meant idolatry, the "whole of Babylon" - in short, a Catholic Church. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 20) — О том, что это церковь, говорила только колокольня, вздымавшаяся фасадом, - прямоугольная башня, на ней цилиндр, на цилиндре - куб, поменьше диаметром, а на кубе очень высокая и острая пирамида. Венчалось все это громоотводом - но не крестом; крест означал бы идолопоклонство, "вавилонскую блудницу" - одним словом, католическую церковь.
