The origin of the word 'Gargoyle' really tells it all: The word comes from the French (gargouille) and simply means "throat" or "pipe".
Yes, as uninspired as that sounds, 'gargouilles' have been found as far back as ancient Greece and started out as nothing more than decorated pipes (the Greeks often used heads of lions or other fierce animals) whose sole purpose was to drain rain water off the roofs.
Architecturally speaking, only the creature serving as actual water spout is called a Gargoyle, otherwise is it known as a Grotesque. But in time, the "Gargoyle" has entered folklore as a protective spirit.
Definitely a heathen aspect to this, and one might wonder why we find them on churches and cathedrals throughout the world, like one of the most famous churches in the world, Notre Dame.

Alas, it is merely another example of one religion adopting the symbols of another to facilitate the flocking of the populace to the new faith, as illustrated in a directive by Pope Gregory to St. Augustine

Zen Quote:
Be soft in your practice.
Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall.
Follow the stream, have faith in its course.
It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there.
It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices.
Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight.
It will take you....Sheng-yen.
