Nothing is worse than Paganism Creep. It's been around a LONG time. Since Nimrod, of Babylon fame. He and his followers worshipped the Supreme Father, the Incarnate Female, or Queen of Heaven, and her Son. They had confessions to priests, mystical and divine secrets and mysterious rites.

Isn't Babylon located right across the Tiber from Rome? Julias Caesar became head of the Roman branch of the Babylonian Cult in 63 B.C. Other emperors held the office until 376 A.D. when the emperor Gratian refused it because it was anti-Christian in its idolatrous nature. That's a good thing. It must have ended right there.

But uh-oh..in 378 A.D., Demasus, bishop of the Christian Church at Rome, was elected and from here on Christianity and Babylonianism became ONE. With rituals encouraged, worship and veneration of images, saints, relics, private confessions, penances, scourgings, etc. and one step at a time, became a part of organized worship in Rome..

sounds like Paganism Creep crept across the Tiber and right INTO Rome.
