Voodoo and Catholicism not compatible?
Voodoo is evil? Christianity is the way?
(yes, I am being somewhat of an instigator here today, but it's all for the sake of gaining some insight....for all of us)
Marie LaVeau was "Queen of the Voodoos" in New Orleans for many, many years. She was Catholic, attended church, married in church, was buried in a Catholic cemetary. She was good friend with the Priest at St. Louis Cathedral, and was called by many "devout". She also held Voodoo ceremonies on the Bayou and in Congo Square-being leader of the Vooodoo's.
Explain how she, and Voodoo, are evil ....if the church allowed her to attend church or be buried as she was, and still is.
See this actual article.....ranting about her good deeds and dedication to the church... See the article in Yellow, from the Times Picayune...normally a very conservative paper during these times.
