Mormons taught that the Catholic Church is the Great Whore of Babylon

Here's a blog entry from a former Mormon.  You can find his whole entry HERE.  Very interesting.

"When I was LDS, I was taught that the Catholic Church was the Great Whore of Babylon, which led the world into the Great Apostasy, which made the LDS Church necessary—without the apostasy and loss of the “truth,” no restoration would have been necessary, which would have eliminated the need for Joseph Smith and all that followed. But, according to what I was taught, the Catholic Church lost its authority and power and corrupted religion. So, Romney, a devout Mormon, picking a Catholic is interesting from this view point."e Great
