Name 3 pagan practices in the Catholic Church.?

There are no pagan practices in the Catholic Church.

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.

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. Everything about the Catholic Church is supported by scripture, everything!

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.

Catholic Christian †

1) Not hating our Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ

2) Praying for those who speak evil of us

3) Looking forward to the glorious day of one Shepherd and one Fold.

I can only assume that those things are pagan in origin. They certainly aren't found in Protestant Christianity to any noticeable extent.

There are none.

Everything the Catholic Church practices is authentically Christian!

Building huge, beautiful churches. Jesus specifically told people to pray in private and keep money out of the church.

The Lord's Prayer, which is based off a prayer to Jupiter (name the god, give address, flatter god, ask for stuff, end with praise.)

The Rose as an emblem for Mary (longtime sign of the Great Goddess)

The cult of Mary, Mary as the "Queen of Heaven" (this was Ishtar's title for centuries)

Many of the sites of Catholic churches were chosen because a Pagan temple once occupied the same space.

Many "saints" were actually pagan deities that were absorbed into the Catholic pantheon.The Abbess of St Brigid in Kildare admits that quote "Brigid was a goddess long before she was a saint."

The date of Christmas was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of various sun gods, including Mithras.

The cow at the nativity scene represents the goddess Isis, and the donkey represents the god Osiris.

The god Dionysus was the origin of communion wine.

If you look hard enough, every aspect of Christianity, from the prayers to the God crucified has origins in Pagan practice. Of course,the early Christians wanted to borrow as much as they could to give legitimacy to their new religion.

you will get answers from bigots. jesus would never allow any pagan teachings in the ONE church he built.
