This headline needs a “Barf Alert”. The strong majority of Haitians are Catholic so this devil worship bs just doesnt hold water.

Don't be easily misled by others. At least HALF of all Haitians are ALSO INTO voodoo/voodu, etc.

Being a nominal Catholic in one of the world's poorest countries doesn't make you immune from the attraction of the ancient religion of your ancestors.

Voodoo is supposedly based, roughly, on Vodun worship in West Africa. It's akin to Santeria except that it has no apparent Hindu elements.

It's kind of like being a Catholic in the United States while practicing Democrat party strategies which include killing babies, only better since killing babies isn't part of the deal.

They may be Catholic, but they also practice voodoo, an anti-Christian faith.

That statement is far from the truth. The Pope has provided “holy water” to Africa. And Haiti has been full of occult religion for a long time.

There's a saying in Haiti: "10% Protestant, 90% Catholic, 100% Voodoo."

Conversation I had with a young man down there. His mother was a voodoo witch doctor. "So, she became a Christian, but I told her, mom, something's not right. You're still doing voodoo aren't you? She told me she was and we took her bag of stuff to the local mission and burned it and the priest cast out the demons and she's better now."

I asked him what was the bag of stuff. He said it was a charcoal bag of her voodoo stuff. A charcoal bag is about three feet in circumference and five feet long. I asked him what was in it. He told me "bones." I asked where she got them. "From people."
