Morrigan, Yeah, thats who i was thinking about---
I do know that when St. Patrick was converting Ireland, that several pagan rituals were "Merged" with Catholisism to make the religion more appeling to the Celts.
Also Christmas was placed on Dec 25th to 'compete' with the Winter Soltice, and some other pagan holiday around that time. Many things celebrated as "Christian" such as Christmas 'Trees' , Easter 'Eggs' Candles placed in windows, etc, are Celtic/Druid/German/Pagan in nature, infused into Christianity as well.

BACK to gay priests... Pope Benny said the Ban comes as a result of the Priest/Altar Boy Sex scandals now rocking the church worldwide. As it was men wth boys, in his eyes a "Homosexual' act...
HEY BENNY- TRY BANNING CHILD MOLESTORS INSTEAD OF 'GAYS'!!!
GAY DOES NOT EQUAL CHILD MOLESTOR! HUNDREDS OF STUDIES SHOW THIS! (Does this then mean its 'better' to molest Altar Girls?) Sometimes being a Catholic makes me want to PUKE.
