Without paganism the catholic church would be a hollow shell of itself.
- They would be without the worship of Mary (Ishtar)
- They would be without their mass/eucharist.
- They would be without appointed ‘saints.’
- They would be without ‘purgatory.’
- They would be without prayers to dead humans.
- They would be without indulgences.
- They would be without apparitions of ‘Mary’ and demonic manifestations.
What would they have?

Without paganism the Catholic Church would cease to exist.
