That's a fact. Jesus would never have included the pagan rituals, beliefs, other abominatios started in Catholic Church which the Protestant churches retained.

I most certainly would care. But he didn't so its not an issue.
“That’s a fact. Jesus would never have included the pagan rituals, beliefs, other abominatios started in Catholic Church which the Protestant churches retained.”
Actually there are no pagan rituals or beliefs in the Catholic Church. Everything is Christian. There are things used by Christians - just about all of them - which were originally used by pagans:
wedding rings,
public exchange of wedding vows,
wedding bouquets,
white wedding dresses,
maids-of-honor,
groomsmen,
honeymoons,
celebration of birthdays,
names like Luke, Robert, George, Agnes, April and literally hundreds of others.
If you had a typical American wedding, then, congratulations because by your own standards you participated in a pagan abomination. If you’re wearing a wedding ring right now, then, congratulations because you even now wearing a pagan abomination (a pagan symbol) by your own logic.
“I most certainly would care. But he didn’t so its not an issue.”
Oh, but he did invent your religion. Jesus certainly didn’t invent Protestantism.
