Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book draws parallels between the practices of ancient paganism and the tenets of Roman Catholicism. The author contends that many of the rituals and ceremonies of Catholicism are rooted in the pagan traditions of ancient Rome. From the use of incense and holy water to the practice of making votive offerings and the worship of saints, the author finds striking similarities between the two religions. The author also explores the concept of deification in both paganism and Catholicism. In paganism, certain individuals were elevated to the status of gods after their deaths, often through a process of canonization. In Catholicism, the process of canonization is used to declare a deceased person a saint, worthy of veneration and intercession. The author argues that the criteria for canonization in Catholicism bear a strong resemblance to the criteria for deification in paganism. Overall, the book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the historical and thematic connections between paganism and Catholicism, shedding light on the evolution of religious practices and beliefs.
