The Catholic Church sanctifies pagans.
LOL! No they don't. God calls pagans to repent and turn from their pagan ways. He also said specifically to not incorporate that they did in worship of Him.
Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God:
The word repent doesn't mean keep doing what your doing just call it something different.
