“The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.”
- The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215
Not only does the pope wear this “Mitre” hat, but so do the Cardinals on certain occasions when they are dressed in their royal regalia.

First, The Two Babylons is a bunch of anti-Catholic bigotry writen during the KNow Nothing period of American history as a backlash against the Irish Catholic immigration. It has long been discredited by both Catholic and Protestant scholars.
Second, Catholics could just as easily scour the aercheology books for pictures and items that closely match those found in a Protestant church and make up similar stories about how pagan Protestantism is. For example, the worship of the Babylonian Tau by Protestants. Or as atheists like to say, Christians worship the letter “T”. both are just as valid as the nonsense in The Two Babylons.
The Catholic Church is about 2,000 years old and has weathered far more sophisticated crticism than The Two Babylons. I believe G.K. Chesterton said it best:
“I could not understand why these romancers never took the trouble to find out a few elementary facts about the thing they denounced. The facts might easily have helped the denunciation, where the fictions discredited it. There were any number of real Catholic doctrines I should then have thought disgraceful to the Church… But the enemies of the Church never found these real rocks of offence. They never looked for them. They never looked for anything… Boundless freedom reigned; it was not treated as if it were a question of fact at all… It puzzled me very much, even at that early stage, to imagine why people bringing controversial charges against a powerful and prominent institution should thus neglect to test their own case, and should draw in this random way on their own imagination… I never dreamed that the Roman religion was true; but I knew that its accusers, for some reason or other, were curiously inaccurate.”

Timothy,
No mention was ever made in reference to ‘The Two Babylons’ in this post.
You are waving a false flag.
With regard to your quote:
“The Catholic Church is about 2,000 years old and has weathered far more sophisticated crticism than The Two Babylons.”
Sure they did… During the ‘Dark Ages’ and the ‘Spanish Inquisition’ (totalling approximately 1600 out of the last 2000 years) they tortured and brutally murdered an estimated 50,000,000 (that’s 50 MILLION) people (human beings) who dared to criticize the authority of the Harlot Mother Church.
I don’t think many people today realize that modern christianity (protestantism included) is just pagan roman catholicism with a different flavour.
Christians across the globe unwittingly celabrate the winter solstice and the birth of their man-god savior on the 25th of december each year, which incidentally, is not the birthdate of the Jewish Messiah at all, but the birth date of ‘Mithra’, and is a celebration which was established long before the birth of Yehoshua the Messiah.
Christians also unwittingly participate in worship of the goddess Eostre on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (easter) because of the influence of the pagan roman catholic church.
Come to think of it…
The pagan catholic church even went so far as to change the name of the Jewish Messiah from ‘Yehoshua’ (which translates into english as ‘Joshua’) to Jesus.
Coincidentally…. The pagan church portrays Jesus as ‘half man – half god’ in a very similar fashion to the first ’so called’ half man – half god… ‘Nimrod’ of Babylon…!
Mere Coincidences…?
You tell me…
