"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I study pagan religion and practice Catholicism, it is not a fusion of the two at all. There's some trappings but it's a completely different thing, and it honestly, I shit you not, has more to do with roman law and greek philosophy
Justin Martyr is A Time, gotta say.
I meant how the Catholic hierarchy was designed to be similar to the Roman State, since it was replacing the previous state religion.
