Death, Hell, and Christ’s Descent: The Abyss, a Pit for Prisoners | Ben Habegger
“The abyss appears throughout the Apocalypse as a place of restraint for the devil and his agents. While this much is certain, the heavy use of symbolism throughout John’s visions makes it difficult to know how literally to take their references to the abyss.”
Death, Hell, & Christ’s Descent: Gehenna | Ben Habegger

I am with John Knox who declared the Mass to be idolatry. Catholics worship the bread and wine rather than Jesus Christ whom the bread and wine represent.
The Nicene Creed: Jesus is Preeminent, Not the Pope | Brandon Rhea
For the honor of our Lord and Savior, we must condemn the Papacy and put our hope in Jesus. He alone is the head and sustainer of His bride—the church.
