A twisted version in name only unless it’s changed since I went there. I spent a month there for a missions trip. In the town we were in, they had mass on Sunday, and the same priest became the voodoo priest Friday night. You could hear wild chanting until after 2 am. It was eerie. Everywhere we went around the island, things were the same. Shamans have HUGE power over there. And I was shocked how open people are. It’s not, “we worship the spirits of the air, it’s “we worship the devil because he gave us our freedom, and he owns our country.” (they apparently signed it over in blood and that was renewed, I believe during when Bill Clinton was president)
Sounds like you don’t understand Kreyol. There are of course superstitions in the country, as to be expected by a backwards third world country. But voodoo nutjobs are rejected by mainstream Haitian society. The country is “Christian” (mostly Catholic, make whatever conclusions you wish with that)
