When Catholicism took over in Rome, the way the Saints were celebrated was exactly the way they had celebrated the Greek Gods. They subsititued the gods for the saints. In fact the Catholic rituals and architecture of the churches were replicated from the Greek pagan religions.

Having said that, I believe despite such cultural and historical impacts, many Catholics are spirit filled Christians. I'm thrilled your faith is real.

Cooo, the architecture was the same as that of the lands the church settled in, huh? So, the White house with its GReek arches is evil, huh? Impossibly silly argument (not you, just that argument point).

The Saints were celebrated with a few days of orgies like Saturnalia? Or were there sacrifices made to them?
