Just as much as there's a difference between passion and Puritanism, there's also a difference between passion and promiscuity.
Balance is key.
By the way, the Catholic Church wasn't the host of Puritanism. That came from the Protestant Reformation...
...and the Catholic Church was tolerant of pagans. Witch-hunts were mainly a Protestant thing that went along with the expectation of good works to represent a predestined calling.
The Catholic Church recognized international, diverse, multiculturalism. If you ever talk with an intellectual fascist or racial realist, you'll know they're some of the first critics of that.
The problem is some pagans let things get out of control. The Catholic Church wanted to maintain artistic culture without letting it become abusive of other artistic cultures.
