Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed, historical examination of the connections between the religious practices of the Roman Catholic Church and those of the ancient Roman pagans. The author traces the origins of many Catholic rituals, from the use of incense and candles, to the veneration of images and relics, back to their pagan roots. The book also discusses the role of saints and relics in Catholic worship, and argues that many of the practices associated with them are derived from pagan beliefs and practices. The author concludes by suggesting that the similarities between Catholic and pagan practices are not merely coincidental, but rather reflect a deep-seated human need for ritual and the supernatural. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, and provides a new perspective on the origins of Catholic practices.
