Query: The thesis has been refuted by it's very author!

This books cites sources such as the writings of occultists Madame Blavatsky...who was anti-Semetc and anti-Christian! The author who wrote this book realized Hislop was a hack, and changed his views. He is not a Roman Catholic, because there are genuine Theological reasons not to be one.Claiming Catholics are Pagans are only going to lead people astray. I became a Wiccan in my teens partly because I heard such things...and I wasn't a Catholic then or now. You can't just simply seperate 1500 years of Christianity from Catholicism. It's like taking flour out of bread.Read Mr. Woodrow's NEW book "The Babylon Connection?" In which REFUTES the things Hislop and he himself said...which tooks tremendous courage.
