The erotic images are often found on the top of columns or butresses of very old French, Irish, Spanish, English and German cathedrals and temples. These unconspicious artefacts are the residual heritage of an erotic idolatary that served the initiatory purposes of the Bacchic cult, which was the proto-Christianity itself. The Inquisition and the Evangelism have completely wiped out the old Western European Bacchic Christian cult in the XVI and XVII centuries. Classical erotic effigies found in free excavations of Pompeii, which was actually is an early mediaeval and not a pre-deluvian ancient town, give a much better idea of what the proto-Christian Bacchic cult looked like. Contrary to the concensual chronology, the erotic images of Pompeii are late mediaeval, and may be dated by the XIV and XV century. This means, that the erotic images of Pompeii are much closer to our time than the crude Christian genital symbolism present in many early mediaeval churches.
@SilenceDoGood25 Isn't that pretty much what I wrote? lol Maybe I put something in my post that needs to be clarified?

The Catholic Church is only about 700 years old.

@Fesheca The middle ages as people who are under the government know them are very different from what we might imagine. For instance many people in the middle ages celebrated nudity. It was looked at as beautiful and not shameful. Many people worked nude, played nude, and it was normal. What we call Paganism or witchcraft today was the main religion during the middle ages. It wasn't until the 1500's that witchcraft and paganism was considered evil, but the church will not tell you this!

Absolutely, ...it was Pagan, and in all my research, some were very sexual and performed various duties for the gods. It's a fact before Christ and the Christian religion was called "Christian," the world was much more brutal, and a lot more erotic, but not just heterosexually. The Vatican probably has miles of shelves of these artifacts. They took everything they didn't burn in the Crusades. Right on OP. I'll try to get back with you on your PM when I get some time. Thanks!

Come one, medieval paintings are rather different then Pompeii.
Also, doesn't it strike you as strange that the fashion of Pompeii is different the the rest of Europe?
