You were wrong about St. Paul not being bothered about the idols in Athens. The fact that you go on and on as if you had not made such an obvious and telling error just reinforces the well earned reputation of anti-Catholics.

But he used the moment to preach Christ. And being from Asia, he was constantly surrounded by the idolatry of those nations, even Ephesus had Diana. Maybe Athens had all the gods in one place. His preaching of Christ in Ephesus caused distress to those who made their living selling trinkets I assume for home worship.
