I once had an abridged version of a book called Catholicism against itself. And Catholic writings admitted openly that they took Pagan elements and use them in worship such as candles. In their mind, it was maybe the same thing as Jesus conquering death, because they would take a pagan Temple and convert it to Christian Church to show that the truth had victory over error. I've never heard them reason it like this, but Jesus took The Devil's weapon of death and used it against the devil. So, they actually referred to it as baptizing those rites into the Catholic Church. They openly acknowledge that. I don't believe we should do that at all because Ezekiel chapter 20 tells us to not mix God's name with idols.
