The problem is not that they are pagan, but that YOU see them as pagan.
No Christian practice is pagan. It is sanctified by being Christian.

That does not mean it is pleasing to God.

It steals the glory from Christ when men try to pay for their own sin

You miss Ven. Cardinal Newman's point entirely

No, I did not..but it was a suitable admission that much of the tradition followed by Catholics is not scripturally centered by Pagan centered..

It is pleasing to God because it brings Him Glory.

It steals the glory from Christ when men try to pay for their own sin.

You're not describing the Catholic Church.

No, I did not...

Not only did you, but you'll do it again. Just watch:

...but it was a suitable admission that much of the tradition followed by Catholics is not scripturally centered by Pagan centered...

That's not what Cardinal Newman said at all, nor is it true.

You post a great many false statements about the Catholic Church.

As Satan wills.
