I am not afraid in the least to “mirror paganism” when the pagans were right. Neither was St. John when he wrote “en arche en o logos”, neither was St. Paul in the Areopagus, and neither was C.S. Lewis.

What I am afraid to do is to mirror Christians when they are wrong. Especially about the liturgy.

Paganism isn't right.

Neither was St. John when he wrote “en arche en o logos”

Unless you are stating that God's inspired Words in Genesis are pagan, I'm at a loss to make any sense of that statement.

neither was St. Paul in the Areopagus,

Paul was having a discussion and referenced one of the gods who was referred to as unknown. He was not inviting pagans into the Church to continue pagan worship.

There is no inspired liturgy.
