Two great cities, one enduring question: how much of Rome’s past lives in its present faith? This book investigates the connection between ancient Paganism and the Church of Rome, offering a pointed appraisal of how symbols, rituals, and relics may carry older meanings into modern devotion. With vivid examples and plates, it traces how ancient ideas reappear in religious practice and what that could mean for readers today.

The author blends historical detail with critique, arguing that many familiar Catholic practices have roots in pagan traditions. Through discussions of votive offerings, the nimbus, and other symbols, the book urges readers to examine the origins and meanings behind religious imagery. It also surveys a recent “Catholic revival” and its echoes in Protestant countries, asking what religious reform and tolerance really require.

A historical look at how pagan elements appear in Christian imagery and ritual

Illustrated plates showing similarities between ancient and modern religious objects

Arguments about symbols, saints, and the evolution of devotion

A critical perspective on revival movements and their influence on churches

Ideal for readers of religious history, church critique, and those curious about how symbolism shapes belief.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating, and often overlooked, connection between ancient Paganism and the rituals and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. The author delves into the historical evidence, uncovering the ways in which the early Church adopted and adapted Pagan practices, blending them with Christian beliefs and ceremonies. This book examines the evolution of early Christianity, showcasing how the Church's compromising spirit led to the incorporation of Pagan elements into its worship. The author meticulously traces this historical trend, highlighting the use of Pagan temples as Christian churches, the veneration of saints as a continuation of hero worship, and the appropriation of Pagan symbols and practices. The author argues that this "baptized" Paganism permeated the Church, leaving a lasting impact on its rituals and practices. Through insightful analysis and detailed historical research, the book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Paganism within the Roman Catholic Church, challenging readers to reconsider the supposed purity of early Christianity.
