Default Similarity OR difference between Primal Traditions and the Roman Catholic faith?

What would be a clear similarity OR difference between Primal Traditions (Animism, Totemism, Shamanism) and the Roman Catholic faith?


Thank you!

In his book, Cardinal Newman freely admits that every single catholic observance is based upon one or more pagan traditions.

That is why Revelation calls Rome "mystery Babylon" and refers to her as a whorish woman.

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet co loured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.


Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet co lour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:


Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.


Identity revealed:

Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou saw est is that great city, which reignite over the kings of the earth.

might there be both of varying significance. Superstition, magic and religion are all responding to a common human instinct. Wouldn't you be surprised if RC religion had no similarities to any other religion that preceded it?

The desire for God is written in the human heart, because each person is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw each person to himself.

In response to this desire, most religions are humanity sincerely reaching out for God.

In Judaism and Christianity, God is reaching out for humanity and we respond.

Religion is a set of beliefs and practices followed by those committed to the service and worship of God. The first commandment requires us to believe in God, to worship and serve him, as the first duty of the virtue of religion.

Spirituality is how one lives their religion.

With love in Christ.
