Is Catholicism just paganism rebranded? All i can think of when i see paintings of saints is idol worshipping, not to mention the Jesus and Mary ones.

Look at yourself
A lot of saints are incorporated pagan gods. That's how monotheism spread across Europe.
No Catholicism is nothing related to paganism you are just a really dumb Jew.
Trinity is pagan.
I dunno how to tell you this Jorge but all of Christianity is just paganism. You're worshiping Zeus.
Is Catholicism just paganism rebranded?
No. That's just a cope by Protestants to explain why they have no real connection to Jesus or the apostles.
News flash: Jesus and the apostles lived in the Roman Empire. They spoke ancient languages like Latin and Greek. They wore robes. They used buildings with Roman architecture. They had Roman customs and manners.
Protestantism was founded 1500 years after Christ and it shows. Do you really think the original Christians wore 10 gallon cowboy hats and performed contemporary Christian rock at their services?
A lot of saints are incorporated pagan gods.
That's just an assertion, not an argument.
All britbongs are faggots. Source? I can read your thoughts and I know you think about sucking cock all day long.

There is a similarity between bananas and the sun. They are both yellow, therefore the sun is a giant banana.
You're reasoning is so bad there is no point in arguing with you as you are clearly an insane retard.
Pagan pretty much means rural in Latin, so pagan god translates to rural god. It later became associated with gods outside of Christianity.

Yes, they use saints to replace every gods, and every Christian festivities is just a copy paste of Roman pagans religion .
Here in Italy is easy to notice every town village celebrate a saint, but if you go back in history you easy notice that use to celebrate gods
This why in the rural parts of Italy they continue to celebrate gods even after the fall of Roman empire

holy fucking cope lmao
Jesus spoke aramaic and lived in the levant
Pagan practices are still alive and kicking all around Europe, plus they are growing with the internet spreading the teachings.
I really hope to see a revival of pagans religions, and also to see rebuild temples
No. And I say this as a Christcuck hater.
These Abrahamic religions that followed Judaism spread far and wide because of the malleability of their doctrine. Obviously in order to appeal to the European peoples Christcuckery needed to adapt and that's why they celebrate Ostera (Easter), an obviously pagan holiday and Yule (Christmas).
Christianity in general and more specifically Catholicism just wove some strands of pagan traditions into the deeply judaistic fabric of their religion. That doesn't make them pagans per say, it just makes them sellouts.
And who can argue with the results? After all Christianity has more or less forcefully taken control of Europe and North Africa (before the muslims took over). Their adaptability is what made the religion so successful.
How the fuck is it idol worship when people don't worship the images or statues.
All i can think of when i see paintings of saints is idol worshipping,
why would making a painting of someone equate to "idol worshipping"? that's just a bizarre idea to have in your head
I do to. I'm not religious, but I'm big into heritage, namely my own. Makes me feel at home.
They do worship them, thats the thing
A lot of saints are incorporated pagan gods.
says who? what proof is there of this oft made claim by baptists, non-denom, and penecostal types? even Lutherans and Anglicans venerate the Saints, it's not just Catholics and Orthobros.
Catholics don't worship images or statues.
Statues can also help to focus a person's mind on an aspect of prayer or worship. For example, a statue of Jesus on the cross can help us remember the sacrifice of Jesus. Statues act as a visual aid for the worshipper.
Protestantism was founded 1500 years after Christ and it shows. Do you really think the original Christians wore 10 gallon cowboy hats and performed contemporary Christian rock at their services?
you've somewhat undercut your own argument here by giving this brand of "Christianity" (which I'm sure is the type of Protestantism you're most familiar with, fair enough) a 500 year patrimony. The type of Protestantism you describe has existed for less than a century. Even Luther would have burned these people as heretics. he may have been an anal-retentive pervert, but at least he was a validly ordained priest.
>News flash: Jesus and the apostles lived in the Roman Empire. They spoke ancient languages like Latin and Greek. They wore robes. They used buildings with Roman architecture. They had Roman customs and manners.
holy fucking cope lmao

Jesus and all the Apostles ALSO spoke Koine Greek (the lingua franca of the Eastern half of the Roman Empire). It was in Greek that they wrote and in Greek that they communicated to many of the people they proselytized.
No Catholicism is nothing related to paganism
That's not really true, a lot of holidays are from pagan traditions, christianity in the beginning was not spread by force for the most part but by missionaries and lords who converted
A lot of local traditions mixed or got simply taken over
You tell me.
Pope kisses nigger feet. Pope accepts homos.

en.wikipedia.org
literally wikipedia is the best you can do? you know there was a time when POL would have scoffed at the idea of taking the historical claims on wikipedia seriously.
No, I could do more, but I'm not going to waste my time on someone who has already made up their mind.
it still does.
An F for anyone who cites wikipedia.
Just because Catholicism is a culturally predatory religion doesn't make it a pagan one. As I've said up above intertwining your religion with some aspects of another culture doesn't make it any less of a religion.
Christcuckery, as long as it has it's moral basis grounded in the new testament is still Christcuckery. If a glass is 99% filled with water and has a pigment that represents 1% of the volume it is still a glass of water. Any other interpretation is pure semantic babbling.
No, I could do more, but I'm not going to waste my time on someone who has already made up their mind.
try me. it sounds like you are just unable to back up your assertions. prove you're right or, hell, at least just make an actual effort to do so. by the way here's a Saint (picrel) who was undoubtedly real and who causes actual pagans unfathomable butthurt even to this day: Saint Boniface
Please point to the verse in the Bible about paying to get your relatives out of purgatory. Riiiiiight, I'm not against Catholics they just have compounded thier traditions for so long they sometimes lose the plot.
jewish systems wear the skins of the gentile things they have subverted, it's a tale as old as them, they have no originality but their own isiosyncratic self-obsession; a jew who has taken Hellenic philosophy and themes becomes a christian, but it's still a jew under the skin; a christian who has taken Roman clothes and organization becomes a catholic, but it's still a christian under the clothes, and still a jew under the skin

I honestly don’t care.
It isn't.
Aryan Paganism did not worship jews. Nor was it obsessed with torture porn.
It had a well defined master morality.
Not the same.

that isn't a "Catholic tradition" though. Simony is a sin which SOME Catholics have engaged in throughout the course of the last 2 thousand years. Some Protestants have done this also (see televangelist prosperity preachers)
Please point me to the verse in the Bible that says sola scriptura.
Aryan Paganism did not worship jews.
Jews were literally a protected minority in pagan Rome (religio licita).
yes, but in a mostly good way.
under Hitler Catholicism was primed to evolve into Positive Christianity which would have been the perfect synthesis of local Pre-Christian European Indigenous Religions (PCEIR) and Universal Christ-Consciousness all without any of the negative jewish nonsense.
nice pilpul mongrel filth, thousands of religions were religio licita in rome, jews were not more special than some random other group within the empire, it is only under their christian golems that it became the SINGLE religio licita alongside golemstianity
try me.
Okay, here. I still think I'm wasting my time with you.
It would have been fake trash.
All made-up religions invented for the sake of utilitarianism are fake and gay and have no future.
There is no reason to "re-interpret" and "re-frame" the torture porn jewish mythos.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
nike became Saint Nicholas? that's mind boggling stupid. Saint Nicholas was an extremely famous person in his time. also mars becomes St. Martin? I thought you'd at least pull out Saint Brigid where the Saint and the pagan deity have the same name (still not proof but much closer). these are just people who's names share a few letters with old gods. you haven't even made an argument that attributes of any of these Saints are similar to the pagan deities you've just said "see! Yama looks kinda like James!". you have to be trolling right? you can't be this retarded. btw are you pretending to a neopagan or a super low church protestant right now? it's hard to tell what you're larping as.
I knew I would be wasting my time.
The church as an institution never did or approved this. Some priests did it because they were corrupt and protestants used it as propaganda to claim it was something approved by the pope.
And you tards are still falling for it 500 years later.
All i can think of when i see paintings of saints is idol worshipping
Yeah many of your fellow demoniacs also feel this same compulsion to destroy when confronted when beautiful, harmless art. It's called being a madman.
Prove me wrong
Try writing a substantial argument so I can debunk it first. You know, something more than "unga bunga, must smash."
I knew I would be wasting my time.
you literally just posted a list of similar names. that's it. that's your personal standard of evidence? thats actually insane.
All you've done is go "nah ah" like I expected you to. Wasting my time.
Is Catholicism just paganism rebranded
No.

You're wrong because you are severly retarded.
You're brazilian.
Case closed.
