I thought it rather interesting while doing some research that even The Catholic Thinker acknowledged that pagan religions resemble much of what they call Christianity today. I found this quote.

“If pagan religions resemble Christianity in any form (and they do!) [highlight mine]

Of course it was surrounded by reams of “explanations” as to why that didn’t matter.

The great Catholic thinkers have decided that the pagan practices can some how be cleaned up and made Christian despite Paul’s words to the Corinthians.

Aaron tried that with the idol golden calf. No matter how it was excused it was pagan and condemned by Jehovah (or Yahweh).

Absolutely. And it is an indication of their power (in their mind), that they can 'christianize' paganism through syncretism... Even though YHWH specifically calls such a thing an abomination.
