This relief from an ancient Babylonian site shows priests of Dagon with pails of "holy water" and hyssop bushes to sprinkle faithful worshipers. This ritual is still seen today in the Catholic and Orthodox religions. Notice the symbol of the sun above the the priests with wavy rays emanating from it. These wavy lines represent the female.
Pope John Paul II wearing a fish mitre, and carrying a staff with both a bent cross and a pine cone fertility symbol. Notice the four-spoked solar symbol on his mitre and the Maltese cross on his robe. Page 37 of Catholic historian Theodore Maynard's The Story of American Catholicism says, "“It has often been charged..that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism, it must be added, is ready to accept the accusation—and even to make it her boast." Note also the arms of Jesus shaped down into a "V" on the Pope's staff. This is a sign used in occultism to show victory over the Son of God.
Babylonian, Assyrian, and Roman Catholic triple crowns.
A fish depicted on a Hindu carving. The fish is a common pagan symbol for the pagan god Dagon. This appears not only in ancient reliefs, and Catholicism, but also other religions, such as Hinduism shown here.
A fish icon from ancient Egypt shown here with the horns of the bull on top. The bull represented the elephant. These creatures become symbols of the sun god, which is why you see bull worship and elephant worship. The horns between the eyes of the bull are also a symbol of the half moon or sickle moon, which becomes the womb of the woman which receives the rebirth of the sun god.
