I know that my statement upset you, but if looked on without the bias it does resemble Roman polytheism.

I agree with
entropy.
No offense intended to our Catholic members, but Catholicism is riddled with Roman paganism - a sop to the people who suddenly had this new religion thrust upon them as
entropy said.
Catholicism and Roman paganisim share polytheism, Mother Godess worship and idolatry, all of which are condemned in the Bible.
I'm sorry if the comparison is upsetting to others, but there it is.
