Does the Catholic religion destroy the pagan soul less than other religions?

definition
"Catholicism may skin the surface of the pagan soul, but the true heart remains vibrant and alive, waiting to shed its thin layer for authentic vitality to flourish."
According to Osho, Catholicism is the most destructive to the pagan soul, yet in Italy it only skins the surface; the Italian heart remains pagan—juicy, dancing, alive. He urges shedding this thin Catholic layer so authentic vitality and radical change can flower. Catholic dogma, he says, lacks convincing grounds and cannot touch the deep-rooted, life-affirming core.
Catholicism tries hardest to crush natural, joyful pagan spirit, but in Italians it’s just a thin crust—peel it off and the lively heart shines.
