It's glaringly evident Catholicism is a mix of Paganism / Babylon and Christianity. There was 300 years of Biblical Christianity before Catholicism. Then around 300 ad the church mixed with the Babylonian customs of the time. For the next 1000 years The Roman Catholic Church merged Pagan doctrines with the church. Here are some 1. MARY AS QUEEN OF HEAVEN- Veneration of Mary as the "Queen of Heaven":Is a a continuation of the worship of ancient mother goddesses like Semiramis, Isis, or Cybele. Mother and child imagery (Mary and Jesus) Alleged parallel to Ishtar and Tammuz. The motif of divine mother and child existed in many ancient religions, including Egypt (Isis & Horus). Christianity may have used familiar iconography, but its theology is distinct. The title "Queen of Heaven" is found in the Old Testament, where it refers to a Canaanite goddess (likely Astarte) whose worship is condemned by God (Jeremiah 44:17-25). The Christian veneration of Mary developed over centuries for theological reasons based on her role as the mother of Jesus, not as a replacement for pagan goddesses. 2. CONFESSION OF SINS TO A PRIEST- 3. LENT 4. HOLY WATER 5. ALTAR LIGHTS 6. THE ROSARY 7. INDULGENCES 8. SIGNS OF THE CROSS 9. LATIN PHRASEOLOGY 10. FORCED CELIBACY ON THEIR PRIESTS 11. PRAYERS TO SAINTS 12. TONSURE- Shaving head parts as admission to the clergy 13. ORDER OF MONKS 14. PURGATORY 15. NUNS 16. LAST RITES 17. THE MAGIC AND MYSTERY 18. THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY 19. THE CHANGING OF THE COMMANDMENTS (The second commandment is really "Thall shall not make a graven image or any likeness of any kind that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath". ) Well, we all know Catholics love their graven images. Go to any old Catholic church. There are graven images everywhere. They also split the tenth commandment (Coveting) into two. How they were able to come up with 10 commandments Sadly, pulling the wool right over Catholics eyes. 20. Priesthood and titles: The Pontifex Maximus title, a chief priest in ancient Rome, was initially held by Roman rulers and later adopted by the Pope. It is claimed that this title, along with other practices, is evidence of a continuum of power from ancient Babylonian rulers to the papacy. Papal authority and hierarchy: The concept of a pope or clergy is claimed to be a "Babylonian high priest idea". The structure of the Christian church, including the role of the Pope (seen as the successor of St. Peter), developed within the historical context of the Roman Empire and early Christian thought, not as a direct adoption of a specific Babylonian priestly structure. The claim that a Babylonian priest wore a mitre similar to a bishop's is often dismissed, as Babylonian priests often wore depictions of fish. The bishops hat is actually a pagan fish god hat. 21. Sunday observance: the observance of Sunday as the Christian holy day is a continuation of an older pagan practice of worshipping the sun. 22. Veneration of saints: Practices like praying to saints or venerating deceased loved ones associated with babylon 23. Syncretism: Incorporating pagan elements from systems like Babylonian religion by renaming pagan gods with Christian saints' names, leading to the worship of images that are considered a continuation of these older practices. 24. Celebration of Christmas and Easter: Christmas (Dec. 25) Clearly linked to Babylonian worship of Tammuz or Nimrod. The date actually comes from Roman tradition (Sol Invictus festival). Easter Claimed to be named after “Ishtar,” the Babylonian goddess. The name Easter comes from Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon spring goddess, not Ishtar. However, both symbolize fertility and renewal, so themes overlap but are not genealogically linked. 25. PRIESTLY VESTMENTS- Found nowhere in the New Testament, but clearly found in Babylon. Priestly vestments, incense, candles Claimed to mirror Babylonian temple rituals. These were common ritual elements across ancient religions, including Judaism, which Christianity inherited, not uniquely Babylonian. 26. Catholic Churches have babylonian structures and styles- What Babylonian Temples Actually Looked Like Ancient Babylonian temples — called ziggurats or temples of the gods — had distinctive features: Massive stepped towers (ziggurats), symbolizing a bridge between heaven and earth. Inner sanctuaries where the statue of the god was housed. Outer courtyards for offerings and gatherings. Priests performed sacrifices, incense rituals, and chants. Rich ornamentation with gold, carvings, and symbols like lions, bulls, and stars. LOOK FAMILIAR? If you can't see BABYLON all over, you are blind. Why Catholicism is a mirror image of ancient BABYLON and is THE WOMAN WHO RIDES the beast in Revelation 17 and 18 Read the Old Testament. God did not ask the church to adopt the pagan traditions of Babylonians, but destroy them. Read the new testament. It was simple, people met in homes, broke bread (had meals together) fellowshipped, did evangelism, healed the sick, casted out demons, etc. Catholicism is Babylon!!

ABOUT ST PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH

Our St. Paul logo was designed by fellow parishioner Lori Brechtel, a graphic designer. Lori put great thought and detail into its design. She began by seeking out a symbol of our church that would be readily identifiable to all of our members - the circular, quartered round window on our building.

The yellow, starbust portion represents the light of Christ that blinded Paul, and that light which we show to each other among our congregation, and others. it is "bursting" from the confines of our own church and radiating into the world.
