Who's attacking the Catholic Church? The point of the post is to inform and educate individuals regarding religion... Afterall, this is a Religious forum...isn't it?

It is interesting that voodoo is labled as satanic, demon possession., etc., but, if people would educate themselves and read, they would discover such demonic practices are not a part of voodoo worship. Followers of voodoo worship a spirit God just as Christians and Catholics and all three of these religions are related; yet voodoo is perceived and labeled as a "bad" religion and Christianity and Catholicism are perceived as "good" religions.

2Corin 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Corin 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Corin 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Most of the Haitian people who practice Vodou also identify as Christians.

Yeah well, as I said Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Lots of people say they are Christians but they are not. They are evident by their fruit.

Duh, that is the point. There is no similarities in the two. The OP was trying to say that they are similar and they are not. The reason they are saying this is because they have not research between the two and don't have any understanding of either.

In their headline they talk about dancing, but Voodoo are dancing to conjure up spirits unlike Christianity are dancing in worship of who they serve.

Voodoo religion and beliefs are just as valid as those of Christianity and Catholicism. In fact, any religion or religious belief is just as valid as the other, and Christianity is no exception. It's shameful when one religion or group makes claims that their particular religion is better than or more valid than others. Christianity included.

Spirits worshiped in Voodoo ritual ceremonies are Catholic (Christian) Saints. Therefore, Voodoo and Christianity are related.
