“Did you read in the article about the Church of the Three Fountains? St. Paul was beheaded so violently at his execution that his head went flying, bouncing with three large bounces across the ground. Every place his beloved head touched the ground , water sprang up. A church was built over the three springs. Should those early christians have not built a church over the three miraculous springs of water in St. Paul’s honor? ”

No! Never!! The honor of all things is God’s alone.

It is paganism from the Greeks that built temples to gods. Rome incorporated that pagan practice to placate heathen.

And every religion has these false stories the gullible believe.

St. Paul is not a "god".

In my town there is a Baptist church called Judson Baptist. It was named, apparently, after the preacher who founded the place. How is it that Catholics erect a church in memory of a great preacher and teacher, and that's "paganism from the Greeks," but Baptists do the same thing and you have no quarrel with it?

That would be the same God who commanded "Honor thy father and thy mother"?
