Here's a peek inside:

Revelation is perhaps the most misunderstood of the seventy-two books in the Bible. Its mysterious language and imagery make it ripe for many disparate and often far-fetched interpretations. Protestant revolutionaries in the sixteenth century used it for their anti-Catholic fulminations, identifying the papacy with the Antichrist and Church itself with the Whore of Babylon. Unfortunately, that kind of rhetoric continues to this day in various books and on websites purporting to expose the awful “truth” about the Catholic Church.
 
Christ founded the papacy as an office of unity and chief authority for the Church. By definition, the pope is not Christ’s enemy but his vicar or representative, commissioned to continue the Lord’s salvific mission as the earthly head of his Mystical Body, the Church. Nor is the Catholic Church the accursed Whore of Babylon, bent on destroying the true Christian faith and its adherents. Rather, she is a mother who loves her children and protects them from evil; and is also the “community of faith, hope and charity [and is] an entity with visible delineation through which he [Jesus] communicates truth and grace to all” (Lumen Gentium, 8).
