The Pope’s Plans on Organizing Political, Economic, and Religious Activities Worldwid

There are times the pope does wear these colors and times he does not.

However, Hunt and others ignore the liturgical meaning of purple and red in Catholic symbolism. Purple symbolizes repentance, and red honors the blood of Christ and the Christian martyrs.

It is appropriate for Catholic clergy to wear purple and scarlet, if for no other reason because they have been liturgical colors of the true religion since ancient Israel.

Hunt and others forget the fact that God commanded that scarlet yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49–52; Num. 19:6), and that God commanded that the priests’ vestments be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4–8, 15, 33, 39:1–8, 24, 29).

Also, Catholics are by no means the only Christian clergy who wear, at times, the colors of red and purple. Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodist, Orthodox, etc. wear these colors as well.

This is precisely what these people are pointing out. They may symbolize repentance, but alas there is no repentance. The blood of the Christian martyrs is on the hands of the RCC church, and its head the pope.

Thus:
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
--What repentance? Was there ever any repentance for the crusade against the Albigenses for example? Of course not.
Their blood is on the pope's hands, and has been for many centuries, even from its inception--for they have always persecuted true believers. With the Pope's consent "Bloody Mary Tudor" went on her own crusade. What repentance?

The RCC is not Israel. So what relevance is there here?
Hunt and others forget the fact that God commanded that scarlet yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49–52; Num. 19:6), and that God commanded that the priests’ vestments be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4–8, 15, 33, 39:1–8, 24, 29).

Christ, when He died on the cross, nailed to the cross all such ceremonial rites (the law). We live in age of grace. If you were to keep such law then keep it all and don't be hypocritical. That means keep the Sabbath (Saturday), and do it as strictly as the Israelites were commanded to--no work whatsoever--not even providing for the heat of your house or the lighting of your houses, or the cooking of food. Make sure that the clothes you wear are all of "one cloth". All must be wool; or linen, or cotton--every article of clothing you wear must be all the same.
If you are going to keep the law, keep it all. Don't be a hypocrite.

The truth--The RCC is not Israel, and it is not Israel that is being spoken of in Revelation 17.
Also, Catholics are by no means the only Christian clergy who wear, at times, the colors of red and purple. Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodist, Orthodox, etc. wear these colors as well.

These other religions don't fit the other descriptions as the RCC does. The RCC happens to fit almost everything that is written in the entire passage. The color of the robe is only one small item.
