The roman Catholic Church is not pagan though it has taken on some of the ancient rituals and practices that were practiced by pagans in the first few centuries and other cultural influences may have entered the church in the intervening centuries. Not enough has entered the church to call it pagan though.

The church also does not actually teach the same thing as Paganism so could not be considered anymore Pagan than any other religion in that way.
