Soooo, did you pray this Hindu verse? Did your local house of worship offer this pagan prayer up?

There's nothing particularly pagan about that verse. No pagan deity is mentioned.

This article is referring to the Pope's own meditations on the way of the Cross on Good Friday, not to the liturgy. I would encourage you, yes you, Gamecock, to find a reverent Catholic parish and attend the Good Friday Liturgy. (It's not a Mass.)

You will find that it is profoundly Christ-centered and steeped in Scripture. The Gospel of John, chapters 18 and 19, is read in its entirety, along with other passages of Scripture, none of which have anything to do with Hinduism.

So what degree of paganism is acceptable? 18.4% 71.9%?
