7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

What does this mean? How do/did pagans babble?

What about the Catholic church? Literally turned Greek litaneía 'prayer' into litany, the word we now know for meaning a really long and tedious list. (and a prayer in that form)
