In what year did the Catholic Church begin to tolerate Santería so that it could be practiced openly?

Question

Before this point, Santería had to be practiced in secret and the religion was in no way recognized by the Catholic Church.

Answer 1

No later than 1965.

The Vatican II document, DECLARATION ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, DIGNITATIS HUMANAE (Human Dignity) was published on December 7, 1965 and states:

The human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Santeria is not condoned or supported by the Catholic Church. It is still practised in people's homes and other areas NOT inside a Catholic church.

Santeria may 'borrow' some things from a Catholic Church mass, but it is in by no means, a 'Catholic' practise.

Answer 3

Technically this is real. St. Thomas Aquinas for occasion, did no longer think of that the rational immaterial soul entered the physique till the age of reason. the super majority of theologians on the grounds that then, disagree with that concept. bear in techniques that St. Thomas turn into between the superb and maximum influential minds interior the Church, yet in this remember She (the Church) disagrees sharply with him. only is going to instruct you that the Church's undertaking is to make sparkling the fact of Christ, and to proclaim the undeniable fact that Christ promised to grant for the time of the Holy Spirit, to no longer cater to any particular theologian in line with se. The Church teaches that there is stable reason and info to think that human life starts at theory. In different words, the organic and organic introduction of a thoroughly unique genetic man or woman a great deal helps that theory is the 2nd the soul and physique turn right into a single entity. this is mere biology. even regardless of the undeniable fact that, whether there is doubt approximately that remember, the church decrees that one ought to consistently err on the edge of life whether we don't be conscious of the spectacular 2nd the soul and physique turn into one, lest we commit atrocities against life which contain abortion. seems as though Ms. Pelosi is certainly fidgeting with words and skirting around themes. An unlucky happening in politics.

Answer 4

while santeria is recognized it does NOT mean it's accepted. many things are recognized, that does not mean it's supported.

The priesthoods of Santeria or its sister religions are not Christian priesthoods, so the Catholic Church does not recognize them. We also do not believe in spells or divination; Holy Mother Church strongly forbids all such practices, as the following quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church shows:

All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity. (CCC 2116-2117)

Moreover, our Faith has no "initiations" like those of Santeria. We do not believe that the saints can "possess" people; the Church in fact condemns spirit-possession and combats it with exorcism.
Finally, the Catholic Church does officially condemn Santeria and its sister-religions. This fact does not always filter through to the people who practice these religions; many of whom also attend Catholic Masses and consider themselves Catholic. Many priests in countries where these religions exist are unfortunately lax in making the Church's view on this issue known. Even when a priest speaks against these religions from the pulpit, his sermon is often dismissed as "the kind of thing priests say". Like the originators of Santeria centuries ago, their decendants are still reluctant to part with their religion and their beloved orishas.
