do you know who the father of lies is?
why do you do the will of this (f)ather?
That was truth. Do you not know when the CC adopted the “mother of God” and “queen of heaven” philosophy? Ephesus was the place where the temple to Diana was and the merchants there were worried about the loss of “queen of heaven” trinkets sales because Christianity was growing. The people also did not want to give up their “queen”. That had already started during Paul’s time. He mentioned it in his letter to the Ephesians.

Yep, and that’s who influenced the inclusion of pagan rituals, rites, holidays, and symbols into the CC.
