Ironic that a Catholic would try to excoriate someone about the “sun god” when Catholicism is replete with images, icons, and references to it.

It's pretty astounding the depth of denial for the obvious, but then blindness does create false perceptions. How could they possibly see "truth" when they are so determined to find excuses for the obvious.

As long as they contend that the church is authority for the Word and not the Word for the church they will stumble over the truth.....and in many cases deny it.... all the pageantry and display and pomp of the Roman Catholic Church as is evidenced in her ornately decorated altars, the flowing robes and richly embellished garments of her priests... all of this simply reveals but 'relics of pagan Rome' and evidences the origin of 'papal Rome'..... yet the uninformed are taken in by such stuff, thinking that it is the mark of the true religion.

How unlike the Christ who, 'in the midst of Roman pageantry', was born in a stable and placed in a manger and who, some two years before his death, said,.. "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."........ And how unlike Peter who said,.... "Silver and gold have I none" ....

If the Vatican sold just the jewels and pomp they dressed all the corpses with they could feed a nation in squalor!
