Hasn't changed much from the ol' days.

Interesting video at site. Not graphic.
I've long heard of the Mexican "Day of Death" (Dia del Muerte or something like that). I think this is a holdover from their days of human sacrifice as Aztecs. Just MHO.
Hasn't changed much from the ol' days.
What does one say to that?

They are praying to the Prince of This World.
Sounds a bit like Mexican VooDoo to me.
This use to be a Catholic country, When a country stops worshipping God and starts worshipping the Devil it is in serious trouble. How far away are we from this?
“Santa Muerte” also known as “Lucifer.”
It’s a good thing the author points it this isn’t an official catholic saint, or I might have thought otherwise huh?
Afterall - according to the article- a saint is a figurine dangling on the end of string, right?
ummm...no...

The reason it doesn’t matter to these people that this is not a saint is because they are not catholic at all.
They are pagans.
There’s another thread here in FR on the subject of two Americans arrested for taking photos of a teenage girl at a convenience store, or something like that, and the discussion ranged into the whole topic of whether or not Americans should feel safe visiting Mexico as tourists. A link to this thread belongs in that discussion.
In my opinion, any American who goes to Mexico for any reason is nuts. Stacks of beheaded bodies? You want to go to a country where a portion of the population is actively stacking beheaded bodies? That’s outdoing the Taliban.

It’s really an interesting twist in mexican culture.
You have Our Lady of Guadalupe - which led to mass conversion away from paganism (halting a particularly nasty and gruesome death cult at the time)
Today Our Lady of Guadalupe has become a patron saint for the catholic pro-life movement.
She is pregnant in the image, and promotes life affirming values.
And so here we see the re-emergence of the old death cult dressed up as a robed female figure that glamorizes death.
Ping!

This Santa Muerte is worship of evil pagan gods that are from Mayan and Aztecs. Gods of murder and human sacrifice
This is why I was never fond of praying to Saints. No matter how saintly a life one lead on Earth, in the end, they were men and women. The Apostles, the original Saints took great care in intimating that it was not about them but Christ.
