Probably because they realized they are the "prostitute" described in Revelation!

Catholics accept the Book of Revelation. In fact, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation, took out 7 books from the Old testament and even wanted to take out Revelation!

What are you talking about. The book of Revelation is still in the bible, whether you are reading one sanctioned by Protestants or Catholics.
Or are you suggesting that they should have thrown the book out? In that case, it could all have just been a bad dream. Who knows.
Personally, I think the whole thing is just a crock.

Revelation is in the Catholic Bible. Luther wanted to throw it out during the Reformation, but decided not to.

ITs the protestants that throw out parts of the bible, not the Catholics. Ever heard about the Apocrypha?
* 1 Esdras (Vulgate 3 Esdras)
* 2 Esdras (Vulgate 4 Esdras)
* Tobit
* Judith
* Rest of Esther (Vulgate Esther 10:4-16:24)
* Wisdom
* Ecclesiasticus (also known as Sirach)
* Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremy (all part of Vulgate Baruch)
* Song of the Three Children (Vulgate Daniel 3:24-90)
* Story of Susanna (Vulgate Daniel 13)
* The Idol Bel and the Dragon (Vulgate Daniel 14)
* Prayer of Manasses
* 1 Maccabees
* 2 Maccabees

The Catholics were the ones who put Revelation in the canon of the Bible.
The writer is using poetic,liturgical and prophetic imagery.

The Book of Revelations describes the Mass, why would we throw it out?
Lose the hat, I think it's too tight

We did? Gee, better tell that to the Vatican. I don't think they've been alerted to it yet.
Wow, another example of an ignorant Catholic basher. Go away, I thought you were all busy getting pregnant just so you could murder your child and rub our faces in it anyway.

Because it's a very, very weird book. Have you ever read any of it? It is, by far, the strangest book in the bible.

I was unaware that the Catholic Church had removed that book. It is better known for removing lines that don't match with what they want others to believe. They even removed the second commandment that orders all to 'pray only to God and no one else, Not the sky, on earth or in the water'. But they pray to anyone they want.
Maybe we need to get their Bible and Ours and compare them line for line?

They didn't throw it out. But there IS a good chance it was all a bad dream.
