I already know why. The Catholic Church tries to justify it right on their sites. But let's see what God says about that.
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
>>none of what you mention is used in the daily liturgy/mass<<
Oooooo! Nice dodge! Or at least a try. Here's your quote "there is no paganism in the liturgy". Do you see the word " daily" in there?
>>where was your “religion” 1500 years ago?<<
Meeting in Philadelphia and many other areas.

the one and true church, the Catholic Church, the Church Christ made, while your church is how old?
