You know paganism covers a whole lot of things, so there is no real answer to the question.
I know one woman who claimed it was pagan because they repeated the same prayers for part of the services every week.
Apostle James The Greater
Their has never been any Pagan practices in the Catholic Church to this very day.

There aren't any. I'm guessing a preacher told you all this? Yes? Oh, where does he get his authority from? There isn't Apostolic succession in you church, is there?
Mr. Smartypants: how would saints be pagan deities? There haven't been any pagan gods strolling around in the last 50 years, have there? Of course not! There have been a few saints in that time. Like St. Padre Pio, Bl. John Paul the Great (soon to be a saint!)

There are none. The Catholic Church is the Church that Jesus Christ established in 33AD. Are you calling Jesus a pagan?
Augustine responds to pagans who think the Fall of Rome was because the Church abolished Paganism
Augustine wrote the The City of God in 413-426 AD. Augustine answers the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome (410) to the abolition of pagan worship. If pagans were angry that Catholicism abolished pagan worship its hard to imagine that the Church adopted paganism.
