Paganism

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

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.

Paganism

In the dance of spirituality, the Catholic veneer merely grazes the surface of the vibrant Italian soul, which pulses with pagan vitality; shedding this superficial layer, as Osho suggests, allows for authentic transformation to blossom from the depths of our being.
