Excerpt from Paganism in the Papal Church The striking resemblance between the religious practices of Hinduism and those of the Roman Catholic Church cannot fail to be noticed by those familiar with the two systems. Intelligent Hindus affirm that there is little to distinguish them. On one occasion, after addressing a Hindu audience, one of my hearers said that only a little time before, he entered a church and saw a vessel of' holy water which was used for washing away sin, an image of a goddess before which the people were bowing in worship, and people confessing to a priest, hoping to obtain pardon for their sins. He asked me wherein all this differed from bathing in the Ganges, worshipping the goddess Durga, and seek ing salvation from a guru or confessor. I had to admit that in principle there was little difference between the heathen and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Originally written as a polemic designed to encourage Protestants to return to the original Jewish origins and rules of the Bible, this work provides a thorough and complete overview of how paganism was absorbed into the Christian religion. Starting with an overview of how the scriptural texts were interpreted by pagan Gnostics to reflect their value systems and culture, the author then shows that anti-Semitism caused the first non-Jewish converts to the new religion to reject many of the original rules of Christianity. Next, he shows how most of the outer forms of what became familiar church rites were taken over almost without change from earlier pre-Christian religions and institutions. Included in these pagan-origin rites incorporated into Christianity are the more famous rituals of Easter and Christmas-but a host of others which will astonish the reader-including the sign of the Cross itself, perhaps one of the most used symbols of Christianity; most baptism rituals-including child-naming ceremonies; Sunday observance; the "mother and child" symbolism of Mary and Jesus; the universally-used "Chi-ro" symbol; the use of candles in churches; the structure and prayer rituals of church services of all denominations, and much more. The author points out that although all of these pagan influences entered Christianity through the Roman Catholic Church, most were taken over into Protestantism as well. About the author: Abram Herbert Lewis (1832-1908) was born in Scott, Cortland, New York, and served as Professor of Church History at the Theological Department at Alfred University in his home state. An avowed Seventh Day Baptist, he produced 11 books, 25 pamphlets and tracts, and was editor of 5 periodicals, all dealing with the history of Christianity.

2010 Reprint of 1916 Edition. This book was initially published in 1853 as a pamphlet, then greatly revised and expanded and released as a book in 1858 (THE TWO BABYLONS: or The Papal Worship Proved to be The Worship of Nimrod and his Wife). He claimed the Roman Catholic Church was a Babylonian mystery cult, and pagan, whereas Protestants worshipped the true Jesus and the true God. He contended that Roman Catholic religious practices are actually pagan practices grafted onto true Christianity during the reign of Constantine. This edition reprints the book edition, not the shorter pamphlet.

The Providence of God, conspiring with the Word of God, by light pouring in from all quarters, makes it more and more evident that Rome is in very deed the Babylon of the Apocalypse; that the essential character of her system, the grand objects of her worship, her festivals, her doctrine and discipline, her rites and ceremonies, her priesthood and their orders, have all been derived from ancient Babylon; and, finally, that the Pope himself is truly and properly the lineal representative of Belshazzar. In the warfare that has been waged against the domineering pretensions of Rome, it has too often been counted enough merely to meet and set aside her presumptuous boast, that she is the mother and mistress of all churches--the one Catholic Church, out of whose pale there is no salvation. If ever there was excuse for such a mode of dealing with her, that excuse will hold no longer. If the position I have laid down can be maintained, she must be stripped of the name of a Christian Church altogether; for if it was a Church of Christ that was convened on that night, when the pontiff-king of Babylon, in the midst of his thousand lords, "praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of wood, and of stone" (Dan 5:4), then the Church of Rome is entitled to the name of a Christian Church; but not otherwise. This to some, no doubt, will appear a very startling position; but it is one which it is the object of this work to establish; and let the reader judge for himself, whether I do not bring ample evidence to substantiate my position.

Using sermons, exorcisms, letters, biographies of the saints, inscriptions, autobiographical and legal documents—some of which are translated nowhere else—J. N. Hillgarth shows how the Christian church went about the formidable task of converting western Europe. The book covers such topics as the relationship between the Church and the Roman state, Christian attitudes toward the barbarians, and the missions to northern Europe. It documents as well the cult of relics in popular Christianity and the emergence of consciously Christian monarchies.
