Genuinely asking, not trying to sound mean, but why was that the final straw? The bible makes it very clear through multiple examples that the Papacy is the Beast. From the statue prophecy seen by Daniel and the beasts seen in the Revelation of John. Not to mention all the sun symbolism (and black sun) seen in catholicisim.
The Bible says the beast would kill by the sword and die by the sword. The sword is the word of God. The Popes have killed people using the civil part of their power, which plays into the Beast being "diverse," which is to say it's a mix of political, military, and religious law, by burning people at the stake for opposing the "church."
The Bible says the Beast will speak blasphemies. The papacy speaks blasphemy by claiming Jesus Christ speaks through them. The also say they can forgive sin, which they can't.
The statue King Nebuchadnezzar saw follows exactly the fall of Greece, Rome, and the division of Rome into 10 states (the toes of the statue).
The Bible says the little horn on the dragon with 10 horns will come out and displace three horns. What happened when 3 of the 10 countries in Europe collapsed? Rome appeared. 1 small horn out of 3.
The Bible says the small horn will have power for 1260 days (1260 years). The papacy gained and maintained power in 538 when they held off the Ostrogoths and died by the sword in 1798 when French General Berthier arrested the Pope. That's 1260 years exactly.
The holy eucharist (wafer cookie) that they raise up is the worship of the sun god. Read Revelation 17 carefully and then do an image search of gatherings of bishops and cardinals and look at what they're wearing. BTW, Ex-Catholic here so I've been on both sides of the isle. Left this religion when I began to research all the pagan worship that's in the Catholicism.

Can you elaborate more or link to anything? Interested in learning more about this as I had come to similar conclusions independently.

While an interesting read, this doesn't really have anything to do with Biblical references to the pope being the antichrist.
