This page needs rewriting. At the moment it is stuffed full of POV stuff which is simply not true, and which quite a lot of people know is not true. I have made some minor deletions of crassly mistaken material, but it still needs a complete rewrite. A genuine page on churches built on the sites of temples would be most interesting, of course. What we do not need, surely is a piece asserting "Christianity=paganism" and decorated with a few bits of hearsay. This is what we have at the moment. Take the assertion out, I suggest, and put more facts and references in.
I have deleted the assertion about Origen and Contra Celsum -- it contains no such passage.
Material about the supposed Mithraeum on Vatican hill has been examined lately in [Internet Infidels] and shown to be bogus -- no Mithraeum was ever built there -- and arising from confusion with the adjacent Phyrgianum.
There is a picture of Helios (NOT Mithras!) in one of the tombs, which needs to be retained. But it can't be Sol Invictus -- the tomb dates to 250-ish, and Sol Invictus was only created in 274. I'm not sure how to rewrite this text to conform to reality, so have left it alone.
