Catholic Rites and Ceremonies: Reproduction of Pagan Creeds

During my early days on earth, I never complained on the rituals and ceremonies that we’d done, because I really believed that those were the teachings of the Apostles and of Christ.

But a Reverend O’Leary revealed something about these rites and ceremonies. Did you know the truth about the Catholic Rites and Ceremonies that we’re doing?

On his book, “The Externals of the Catholic Church” he revealed that Catholic rites and ceremonies are reproduction of Pagan creeds:

“It is interesting to note how often our Church has availed herself of practices which were in common use among pagans, and which owed their origin to their appropriateness for expressing something spiritual by material means… and she has often found that it was well to take what was praiseworthy in other forms of worship and adapt it to her own purposes, for the sanctification of her children. Thus it is true, in a certain sense, that some Catholic rites and ceremonies are reproduction of those pagan creeds but they are taking of was best from paganism, …” (p.226)

And it was even clarified by Carl Adam on his book, “The Spirit of Catholism” on page 166:

“She does not hesitate even to take over pagan rituals and pagan symbols, whenever such things can be Christianized and reformed.”
