Hi
True Pagan Origins
The Zucchetti which is worn by Catholic priests, cardinals and the Pope, represents respect, fear and submission to Cybele, the Mother Goddess of Rome.
Everything that Catholic/Anglican priest wears from head to feet is of Pagan origin. The Mitre hat of Popes, Cardinal, Archbishops, and Bishops we need look no further than the Babylonian Fish God’s priest head regalia. Also, the sources of their vestment that they wear come from the Pagan Priest of Rome and Babylon.
Eucharist/Transubstatioation
By the consecration of the bread and of the wine a conversion is made of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the Body of Christ our Lord, and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of His Blood; which conversion is by the holy Catholic Church suitably and properly called transubstantiation. (3) as defined by the council of Trent
Where did this teaching and practise really come from? Like many of the beliefs and rites of Romanism, transubstantiation was first practised by pagan religions. The noted historian Durant said that belief in transubstantiation as practised by the priests of the Roman Catholic system is “one of the oldest ceremonies of primitive religion.” 12 The syncretism and mysticism of the Middle East were great factors in influencing the West, particularly Italy. 13 In Egypt, priests would consecrate mest cakes which were supposed to become the flesh of Osiris. 14 The idea of transubstantiation was also characteristic of the religion of Mithra whose sacraments of cakes and haoma drink closely parallel Catholic Eucharist rites. 15
The idea of eating the flesh of deity was most popular among the people of Mexico and Central America long before they ever heard of Christ. When Spanish missionaries first landed in those countries, “their surprise was heightened, when they witnessed a religious rite which reminded them of communion…an image made of flour…and after consecration by priests, was distributed among the people who ate it…declaring it was the flesh of deity…” 16

Relic worship: Rome uses rags or bones of saints to commemorate their deified heroes, as did Babylon. Both also artificially multiplied many fake relics for profit. http://www.christiandataresources.com/pagancatholicism.htm
What John Henry Cardinal Newman says of Paganism
As Christianity adopted many (80%) practices of paganism, this is what the eminent theologian and scholar, Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-90) on Pagan religious rites being adopted by Christianity/Catholicism, wrote:
The example set by St. Gregory in an age of Persecution was impetuously followed when a time of peace succeeded. In the course of the fourth century two movements or developments spread over the face of Christendom, with a rapidity characteristic of the Church; the one ascetic, the other ritual or ceremonial. We are told in various ways by Eusebius,7 that Constantine, in order to recommend the new religion to the heathen, transferred into it the outward ornaments which they had been accustomed in their own. It is not necessary to go into a subject which the diligence of Protestant writers has made familiar to most of us. The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holy days and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison,8 are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church….[John Henry (Cardinal) Newman, (1906 edition), Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, p. 373, Longmans & Co, London—New York and Bombay]

Kyrie Eleison “Lord have mercy upon us” is of heathen origin!
Do you believe it or not? Tell me what you think about the origins of Christianity?
